Crypto 'advisor' promised big returns, now my funds are gone from BitForex – any hope?

Ugh, I'm so mad at myself right now. I met this person on LinkedIn, seemed super legit, professional profile, talking about crypto strategies and stuff. We moved to Telegram, and they convinced me to put a decent chunk of my savings into this new 'high-yield investment product' they claimed was exclusive to BitForex. I already had an account there, which they liked, so I transferred my ETH and USDT from my MetaMask to my BitForex wallet address they provided. They even 'helped' me execute the trades on BitForex by giving me step-by-step instructions. For a few weeks, the balance looked great! I saw simulated profits, everything. Then, yesterday, I tried to withdraw a small amount, and suddenly my account balance shows zero. Customer service (the chat on the BitForex site) just keeps saying 'account under review' or 'funds frozen due to suspicious activity'. The 'advisor' ghosted me. My heart just sank. Is there any way to get my funds back? I'm in Singapore, and this was a significant amount for me.
