Unfortunately, recovering funds from a scam involving Tether (USDT) can be extremely difficult. Cryptocurrencies like USDT operate on decentralized networks, meaning transactions are generally irreversible. Once funds are sent to a wallet, there is no centralized authority or intermediary that can reverse the transaction or recover the funds.

However, here are some steps you can take:

1. **Report the Scam**: If you were scammed, it's important to report it to local authorities and any relevant agencies. In some cases, law enforcement or consumer protection organizations might be able to assist.

2. **Contact Tether (USDT) or the Exchange**: If the scam happened on an exchange (for example, if the scammer used a platform like Binance or Coinbase), you can try contacting their support team. While they might not be able to reverse the transaction, they may be able to flag the scammer's account and prevent further fraudulent activity.

3. **Blockchain Tracking**: Some services allow you to track blockchain transactions. If you know the wallet address involved, you might be able to see where the funds went. While this doesn’t guarantee that you will get your money back, it might help you identify the scammer's identity or report them more effectively.

4. **Scam Prevention and Awareness**: Always be cautious with online transactions. Scammers often use tactics like fake offers, phishing, and social engineering to trick people. Make sure you verify the legitimacy of any offers and be especially cautious with anyone asking for payment in cryptocurrency.

5. **Legal Action**: In rare cases, if the scam involves a significant amount of money and there is enough evidence, legal action might be possible. This would involve lawyers and possibly tracing the scammer’s identity through the blockchain and other means.

In the end, while it's tough, it’s important to try and prevent scams by staying informed and cautious in the future.
