Hello Christine... good to hear from you. In discord we can always chat in the coffee corner of the silverbloggers, for DM's we have to become 'friends'.
And for the scammer, yeah, as long as this fluffer has access he will empty it out. Seems to be lost for good now, since without owner-key there is no change possible anymore.
Be sure that you have all the keys from the new account stored somewhere on a back up drive or even as a hard copy. You can get the whole set on peakd, if ever you haven't done that yet. Come on over to the silverbloggers discord if ever you want some more help.
Lots of light & healthiness
