Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

you ask to buy a house and pay down payment to someone who says she is an agent of the owner. You sign papers not allowed to even view and cannot read them because she took your glasses and you are not even given copies but told you will be sent copies to your new address and that you can move in right away. You trust her and the so called Lawyer that sell you this house and later find out it is all a fraud, what can you do and is there a limitation of time to file against her or her and him?

First, from your post, you were quite willing to sign your name without reading and with someone keeping you from reading. With few exceptions, that is not going to get you out of a contract. However, assuming it was all a fraudulent scheme you can sue them. Do you know their real names and where they live? DO they even own the house? Call a lawyer in the area, and call the police. They may be doing it to others.
