Spent over $200/300 to attend a final in-person interview, just got rejected

The first two interviews were online and the third was in-person with a tour of the place, so assumed I had a pretty good chance. Had to spend money on flights, airbnb, travel expenses - which they knew I'd have to be doing.

Interview seemed like it went well but just found out today I got rejected. Been unemployed six months so fml I guess. 🙃

ETA: It was for a city government position so definitely not a scam company. Just asked for reimbursement so fingers crossed.
