My USDT disappeared after trying to 'unstake' it from a fake DeFi platform, is it totally gone?

Hey everyone, I'm feeling sick to my stomach right now. I put a fair bit of my savings, about 12k USD in USDT, into what I thought was a legitimate DeFi platform. It looked really professional, linked through a supposed 'partner' on Telegram. They said I could unstake it any time, but when I tried to do that yesterday, it just disappeared. The transaction looked like it went through on the blockchain explorer, but the USDT never hit my wallet. It's like it went to some unknown address. I've been trying to contact their 'support' but it's just radio silence. I'm based in Nice, France, and I've never dealt with anything like this before. Is there ANY way to trace these funds or get them back? I'm panicking a bit, tbh.
