All in the title. I wasn't hacked. I transferred BTC to what I thought was a legitimate program. Will share details with any company that this community can recommend.
Is there a reputable and trustworthy company capable of recovering lost BTC to a scam?

Sorry my friend. Those coins are gone.
Nope.
Go talk to Tony and and his buddies Rocco & Guido. They’ll give your scammers a visit and discuss options.
No. Absolutely not.
If the tech existed to “recover” such funds, it could just as easily be used to *steal* funds.
Law enforcement is your only hope. They can *sometimes* recover funds if they pass through a regulated exchange.
Anyone else offering to recover your funds is another scammer.
That’s not a thing. Sorry. Anyone who says different is gonna scam you again.
Put it in the wind
Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed. Anyone who claims they can help is also scamming you. Do not answer DMs.
Is there a company that can recover cash that I put into a wallet that I saw sitting on a park bench and then I walked away and now the wallet is gone?
This is the fiat version of this question. Answer it and you will have your answer for your bitcoin.
No
Unless you know the scammer and can direct local law enforcement to them, your coins are gone. Even then, they are likely gone.
Yes – Answer ALL yourDM’s.
Those with Nigerian sounding names and loads of spelling / grammar mistakes are the most reliable ones.
For a small fee, followed by another small fee, followed by another small fee, followed by another small fee, and your coins will be back in no time.
It really is as simple at that.
How do you people fall for this shit?
You have to know how it works to understand why you can’t recover your funds.
When a Bitcoin transaction is confirmed on the Bitcoin blockchain, it is irreversible. So the only way would be to find the person, and force this person to make a transaction back through a legal action but that never happens.
You can file a complaint to Law enforcement but they won’t be able to to anything if scammer didn’t send your funds to an exchange, and even if this scenario happens, then they need to trace the transaction and identify the person behind that BEFORE he/she withdraws it to another wallet.
Not mentioning that if the scammer has a business based in Seychelles where regulation is shit, nothing more will happen.
All these steps take alot of time and leads to nothing. There is a reason so many scammers use the blockchain.
