I scammed the scammers when I was in-between jobs. I told them to click on a link to get access to my money and it was a fake Gmail login screen telling them they needed to re-authenticate.
I got their password and access to their account. It was filled with images of passports and drivers licenses.
The sad part is that 99% of the people scammed were old men that were lonely after their wife had passed. I tried to warn all of them through email to stop sending money, but most refused to listen.
I eventually just changed the password and locked them out of their own account (the scammer, not the victims).
Getting your money back in these scams is super rare. Happy to see someone got theirs back. I've had two friends fall victim to this scam - they were convinced by people whom they had built a friendship with to invest into these scam coins and lost a few thousand dollars in it.

Hopefully it saved a few people...
