Hey, this morning I got scammed to send money to some scammers, I am really pissed that I fell for it, and as usual they are requesting more and more. Don't know if anyone can help here? Or have some fun with their phone numbers...

Just fucking ignore them. I get scam emails on the daily, and scam texts/calls fairly frequently too. I'll admit to having been fooled for a minute or two a few times. But I can't imagine how I (or anyone else) could ever end up sending money to a scammer.

The one that seemed the most convincing was someone texting me pretending to be one of my bosses (I have three, technically). He identified himself by name correctly (my boss has a common name with an unusual spelling). The cell phone number wasn't saved in my phone, but my boss was abroad, and uses a different SIM card and number when he's overseas, so I wasn't immediately skeptical. Of course, I just stopped responding once he asked me to pick up a bunch of gift cards (to use as rewards for the other employees, he claimed). It was pretty surprising though that the scammer was pretending to be my boss, not to mention concerning, since it indicates that the scam attempt was very targeted and deliberate.

are you on that website, where people openly list all of their work experience for everyone to see? With your phone number listed and your boss' as well?

Those are data-mining heaven for scammers

Unless you're willing to explain how you were scammed, no.
