It took me a couple of minutes to spot the scam, you cannot fly in South America if you're not a national and without their licences. Only Spain had an agreement with Chile in the past and they accepted some Spanish citizens. Union laws are very strict in those countries, this would never be allowed. You deserve to be scammed because of your naivety and your attempt of back-stab fellow professionals by paying to fly, all I can say...Schadenfreude!
