I had 12 word passphrase. Someone from the bitcointalk.org gave me private message and told me that he was a hacker and wanted job. I thought he was lying. I gave him 12 words of my bitcoin passphrase but shuffling.  I decided to give him 25 USDT after killing his time and getting my thesis paper editing.

I thought he could not be able to organise them. But now my bitcoin is gone from my wallet. What should I do now?
It was around 0.1243 BTC. Just crying. Is there any law infrocement unit to help me?

First of all, this sounds like it is just a story.

Secondly, you've accumulated 0.1+ BTC and you do not even know about the basics to not share your phase with anyone, it was just a 12 words phase, so it won't be difficult for anyone to re-arrange it, at least for those who know well about the loops and algorithms on a distributed network. TBH a simple brute-force attack can also work bro.

Edit: haha funny part 2 newbies from TG are here to discuss this topic that great.
