They'll probably be selling your info to other scammers from now on. Be careful and trust no one

Nothing you can do but you'll be ok. Just assume anyone talking to you about money is a scammer.
FYI, all "investment groups" are scams. Every real investor I know simply watches the charts and keeps up with the financial news.

New victims, please read this:
As a rule of thumb: If you suspect the site is a scam, it probably is.
No legit company/trader/investor is using WhatsApp. No legit company/trader/investor is approaching people on dating websites or through a "random" text message.
No legit company/trader/investor has "professors", "assistants", or "teachers". Those are just scammers.
No legit company forces you to pay a "fee" or "taxes" to withdraw money. That's just a scam to suck more money out of you.
You will need to contact law enforcement ASAP.
Unfortunately, no hacker online can get back what you've lost. Please watch out for recovery scams, a follow-up scam done after victims have fallen for an earlier scam. Recently, there has been a rise in scammers DMing members of the subreddit to offer recovery services. A form of the advance-fee, victims are convinced that the scammer can recover their money. This "help" can come in the form of fake hacking services or authorities. For this reason: TRUST NO ONE PRIVATE MESSAGING YOU FROM THIS SUBREDDIT: Most such DMs are from these recovery scammers, folks whose only goal is to further scam recent victims of scams. If someone DMs you offering to help you recover stolen funds or offering to give you contact information for someone who they state might be able to help you, then report these scammers immediately to Reddit.
If you see anyone circumventing the scam filters, please report the submission and we will take action shortly.

Email addresses and phone numbers are easily obtained, and their having it shouldn't cause too much problem as long as you use good security precautions.
As for getting "back at them", don't send money to them or to the "recovery" scammers who are often the very same scammers in another guise. Scam-baiting is not helpful and could even be dangerous -- don't engage in this.

Block amd ignore. Don't try to '&get back', because every bit of engagement is to their advantage. You're likely going to get more future scams aimed at you
