I was pressured and duped into paying 1,000 dollars to take a years worth of classes at a Modeling School. After one day of classes I realized that they were a useless waste of time, therefore I called my bank to cancel the check I had written to them. A week later I receive a letter from a lawyer telling me I owe them $250 for a days worth of classes, or else they will sue me. What should I do? I feel scammed.

250 is better than 1000! imagine if you had to pay that! Sure 250 sucks too but you DID goto one class. you should feel lucky that they didn't scam you intp paying for the full 1000 if you signed a contract. Just pay the 250 and it will be no big deal. Just learn from this and make sure it doesn't happen again.

The scam aside, you wrote a check, which is a guarantee of funds to another party. You will lose. Furthermore, they can press charges against you criminally for the bad check. You should just cut your losses and pay the $250.

PAY !!!!! you took the class. It was YOU'R Choice not to go back therefor the cost falls to you.
You are lucky they are only asking for $250 they could have asked for the whole $1000.
Cut your losses and take this as a very expencive lesson.

Scam artists often have very good lawyers and write their contracts with great care
Since they have a good lawyer, you probably need one too.
