I think I have been scammed, and I’ve never needed a lawyer for this sort of issue. How do I find someone—I mean the actual process?
I don’t know anyone who’s had this kind of legal advice.

If you paid with a credit card you can contact their fraud department.
Or call the economic fraud crime department of your local police station.
Sorry that this is happening to you. I get scam attempts weekly. Once or twice a year I get tricked. Your are not alone.
Sorry to hear that. Your local bar association can put you in touch with a suitable lawyer or you can use the website https://www.avvo.com/. Hope things get sorted out satisfactorily.
I would call your local senior center and ask for referrals.
If it was a scam by a company there are consumer protections sections of just about every state government. You can write them and they might be able to help more.
Call your state bar for a referral.
I messaged my nephew who is a lawyer in the Bay area. He’s in family law so this wouldn’t be his area but if he knows someone, I’ll let you know.
^^ He didn’t know anyone.
