Is trying to recover lost crypto assets worth it? Is it going to lead to more loss?
If someone scammed you like $1000, that is very small for legit recovery services. They prefer to trace huge amount of money like $50000 or even more. You will need to contact one of the Chainanalytic companies for this.
Recovery coins is a difficult especially when it's made in a pseudonymous manner like Bitcoin, the resources to track and find it is difficult and not ignoring smaller transaction can even be more difficult to pinpoint.
This is also same when a user forgot/lost some significant amount of words from it seed phrase or characters from the private key. Time and resources for recovery can be expensive to cover especially from the fact this can get up to a year or more.
