We can hardly find lost accounts.
What we should do is to be more careful when trading or not to click on suspicious links. You should use anti-virus software, anti-Key-log, use an anonymous browser.
Anyway, condolences with you. Sad

Thanks for your message! I can't believe I fell for it, everytime I read some warnings I think "yeaah I am smarter than that". Total brain-lag from my side here... but believe me it won't happen again

is there maybe a way to lock the account for this guy? I have a few small assets there, but if I transfer ETH back to the account he will just use it to rob me more
