Yep, I know, a costly mistake to say the least.

Just like you, my bread and butter is Cyber Security.

You simply made a common error of most victims on the internet, clicking a link on a web page. Not a fan of duck search engine so I can't share any info.

Consider it as hard lesson learned. And regarding your funds, good luck to recover it but I doubt it.

Cheers for now,
