I was scammed by Seller and Lalamove driver.

Scam report

So i saw this iphone 11 promax 256gb selling for lower price. I immediately message the seller and everything went smoothly, I booked lalamove then after the rider arrives he calls and sent proof that he already picks up the item. After I paid, he calls again saying that i need to pay half of the shipping fee (435 in total) he demanded me to pay ₱250 first, which i rejected but he keeps on insisting because he'll need it for gas. I kept asking kuya if it's real and he kept saying that it wasn't a scam, because his details and everything was on the app so if something happens lalamove will track him down.

After i paid, the lalamove driver calls again saying that the sellers wife doesn't want to release the item and i should paid another 2 thousand (originally, our seller's agreement was half of the payment will be paid on Monday) so i asked the rider again if he can send the picture of the item, which he did. Once i sent the money, he cancelled the booking and the seller blocks me. T - T Can you guys help me what to do huhu that's a big amount of money. Is there a possibility that lalamove team will refund the money?

Here's the name of the Scammer (Seller): Rafael Arelloc No. 09551205795 Gcash No. 09750124683 Lalamove Driver: Bryan Padual
