Did the consent form also transfer copyright?
You may want to request that the journal withdraw and not publish your submission. If you did transfer copyright, you will probably need to formally have them assign it back to you.
Some predatory publishers will refuse to do this, and they will use tricks to get you to pay. Good luck.

Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2016 by Jeffrey Beall
The authentic journal is indexed, not the hijacked one. If your paper has been published, there are no good options remaining.

Comment on Business Deans Endorse Resolution Regarding Predatory Journals by Ramze A. Elzahrany
قرار حكيم يخدم المصلحة العامة، ويحمي نزاهة البحث العلمي وقدسيته المتوخاة من المجتمع العلمي النزيه، ويحد من الهجمة الشرسة من كل من يحاول تدنيسه من خلال السعي نحو المصالح المادية البحتة الرخيصة. نتطلع لمزيد من التوعية على مختلف المستويات وبكل اللغات بهذا الشأن الخطير، الذي قد يجهل أبعاده كثيرون في مختلف أنحاء العالم، وبالذات الدول النامية التي مازال بريق النشر باللغة الانجليزية ملحاً، ولم تصل إلى مرحلة إدراك أبعاد النشر الرخيص في هذه المجلات ذات السمعة السيئة الرخيصة في الوسط العلمي النزيه. تحياتي وتقديري لكل من يسعى جاهداً لحماية هذا الكيان العلمي وقدسيته.

No, I recommend that you withdraw your article submission and NOT publish with this journal or this publisher. SCIRP is based in China (not America) and it’s a very low-quality publisher.

Dear Dr,
i have recevied from the journal Ciencia E Tecnica review report and it is accepted and i have paid 454 USD and he says he will sent me acceptance letter soon is it ok?

This journal is published by Trans Stellar, a publisher that is included on my list.
The website you are looking at, the one called Jour Informatics, is a fake impact factor company, and it has this journals included the list of fake impact factors it has assigned.
Therefore, I recommend that you not send any papers to this journal.
