i accidentally sent .2575 bitcoin to a helix light scam and it has no confirmations yet. 
Can someone one here please help me to do a Replace-By-Fee or anything else to not lose my bitcoin?
Thanks.

Can you post the txid? This will at least allow others to tell you what the chances are that your transaction will confirm.

FYI - unless you flagged your original transaction to be RBf, nodes will by default reject a double spend as long as they have the transaction in their memempool ((this may very depending on a number of things).

Just FYI, a Replace-By-Fee transaction means you change the fee in the same transaction to the same receiver to be confirmed faster.
You say "scam" so I guess you are looking for a different kind of thing.

I guess he didn't explain himself well. Since he was referring to it as a scam then he may have wanted someone to do a double spend for him and send this amount to another wallet of his. There are a few people here who can help with that, but I guess it's too late now as at least 3 days have passed. TX id is absolutely needed by the way for anyone to be able to help.
