If you earned this money once you will earn it again and even more. Do not give up, mate. It will be alright.

These scams are still running even now that we're in a bear market. Just look at the comment sections of all these youtubers talking about crypto. They all start off with an elaborate story of how they made a profit and then followed by contact this trader on telegram or whatsapp to earn money just like I did.
And then they hook you in to one of these unknown apps that look like coinbase with the charts and everything only thing is it's a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ app. You're actually transferring money to binance and then sending funds to a wallet supposedly owned by the company that owns that ⊗⊗⊗⊗ app. They keep milking you to send more money showing you ⊗⊗⊗⊗ gains on your investment until you realise you've been done.
I really hope OP is ok. Just looking back at this thread I initially thought it was all a joke.

the risks always remain the same: trading risk and counterparty risk
people often forget about counterparty risk when they see low trading risk

I have personally lost around 200k (give or take) since starting my ecommerce journey. From bad deals to getting scammed...with really nothing to my name, and I worked HARD for YEARS to pay it off...trust me when I say if there's a will, there's a way. While it's extremely likely you got scammed and "MAY" never get it back, I know exactly how you're feeling...but a live dog is better than a dead lion. Fight through the depression and start coming up with a game plan on how you're going to make that money back. You're certainly not the first to go through such a life altering event (and probably won't be the last) but know there are others out there just like you who worked hard and crawled out of the hole they put themselves in.
Learn from this and never make the same mistake again. You're on the right forum on how to start making money with little to nothing, start focusing on opportunities to grow ecommerce businesses and focus on using your profits to pay yourself back.
It sounds like you've only lost your savings...which means you're starting from ground 0. Others (like me) lost our savings + other peoples money + put ourselves in debt and got out of it. You can do this.

There will always be scams,low tech,high tech.
I watched the movie STING,there is this low tech scam.
The Chinese in HK has a saying,if the cow does not want to drink water,it wont lower its head.
Assad takes his family savings and want to turn a quick buck.

scams will not stop , I personally believe that no one should send money to any company that is not clearly established in a safe jurisdiction and which is of a very large size
any little known or small company can disappear anytime , they do not even need to be scammers. same for jurisdictions , it should be a large western country only and the owners must be established there as well with a clear understanding who they are

There are also scams among family members,between husband and wife,brother and sisters and relatives .
Madoff is a big shot,founder of NASDAQ,owned his own brokerage business,yachts and castles in France,second home in Florida.
People trust him as he offered 12-13% return!
Few have the resources to find out he is a fraudster,one is a French bank ,after meeting with Madoff,went back to France and use computer modeling to do the same and decide not to do business with him,another one is a competitor from Massachusetts,he hired MIT expert to do the same and cant get the same result,filed a complaint with SEC and heard nothing,filed again and was told to come to NYC to file a case which he did not.
Rest are individuals just forked over their life time savings to Madoff.
The lawyer who is appointed by the court to recover as much as possible from Madoff is the same working on the FTX scandal,some of MADOFF investors who have sold their holdings were asked to return their gains as Madoff never made those trades,so there is no profit !
