Lost my savings after investing in crypto on a platform shared via TikTok, is it all gone?

Hey everyone, feeling pretty numb right now. I met this guy on TikTok a few weeks ago, seemed really successful, always posting about luxury cars and travel. We started chatting, and he convinced me to invest in crypto through this platform he was using. He said he had an 'insider strategy' and showed me screenshots of huge daily profits. I started with a small amount, like $500, and it actually went up! I could see it on the platform. He kept pushing me to put more in, saying it was a limited-time opportunity. So I transferred about $15,000 worth of USDT from my Coinbase wallet to this new platform. It looked legit, had charts and everything. For a few days, the numbers kept climbing. Then I tried to withdraw a small profit, and it said 'account frozen, requires tax payment'. I messaged him, and he said it was standard procedure and I needed to pay another 10% to unlock it. I'm starting to think this is a huge scam. Is there *any* way to get my money back? I'm in Al Ain, UAE, and this money was meant for my kids' education. Feeling like such an idiot.
