Sorry that this happened to you, and I'm glad you got back control of your account!
Just a little advice though, always look at one's reputation score before interacting with them. I've got a lot of annoying spams but fortunately, not once I have ever been scammed.
Hope that doesn't happen with you ever again.
Thanks for your kind gestures and advice.
Update: You have received an upvote from them :)I have suggested your post to @asapers for an upvote on this article.
