scammed through FACEIT

[avatar hina]

Someone please help me, someone on FaceIt asked me to join their team for a tournament and told me I can't have skins in my account to qualify for the tournament. So I had to send them to a trusted friend which I did and then re-apply on face it. They told me I can cancel the trade once I get the confirmation that I'm in the tournament (Rule 3:Rewards), and once I tried that it wouldn't cancel and then told me I sent them all to my friend. So I went to my history to cancel it and it shows that I sent them to a complete stranger. This person said "dont panic, i just showed you how scam works on faceit in 2023. im content maker for youtube, you get all your items back in a week(because of the trade ban)" and I'm freaking out right now. I sent 77 items thinking due to Rule 3 in FaceIt tournaments I can't have active skins. I don't know how to get them all back and I really need help. I've already reported the scammer's steam account.
