If you are a victim of a scam you should contact a lawyer immediately. If this is a criminal scam which stole your assets or money, you should potentially speak with your local police or the appropriate regulator to make a legal complaint. 

Sometimes it can be hard to know who to complain to. In this case, speaking with a lawyer can help you navigate the system and understand if this is a crime or a civil wrong. For a crime, it is usually the police or a division of government you will have to complain to.
