    I have reported this in their support center(under account security) about 8 hours ago but haven't got any response from them yet.
    I am wondering will I get my money back? Although its not a big amount (only 18 $ ) but still its my hard earned money. :(
    In case of paypal and payza its simple to understand as they have a disputes and resolution system. But I don't understand how Moneybookers/scrill works.

    The person whom received my money is a confirmed scammer. He has hacked someone's skype account and has scammed many people. Skype account belonged to someone I knew and that's why I sent money.

    It's gone. Once MB payment is sent, there is no way to reverse it.

    I don't think so.
    You can phone Moneybookers and tell them that the service you paid for was not delivered. They will certainly help.

    Here is the reply I got from moneybookers. It seems my money is gone. :(
    MB works like LibertyReserve. Once you click the send button the transaction can not be reversed.

    I don't think there is a way to get money back, but if it was for a physical product it may be possible
