My husband got scammed by almost 24k

Hi! I don't know if this is the right outlet, but I just need to share and let this one out cause it's bugging me real bad. My husband told me last night that he was planning to sell his mobile legends account since he needs more funds for their needs. He's a stay at home dad. I said it's your decision. I thought it was just some silly talk since he always go back playing ML. So I didn't think much about it. Later today he got his account appraised and was quoted as 16k. I think it should be more, he has a lot of skins (legendary and collector skins even, recalls, and such). And he went on with a transaction with a "Middleman". I wasn't aware of this. There were rules, he has to pay half of the account which was 8k (his ML account) before the transaction goes thru. I know, illogical. I don't even know what's going on and why he pushed through with the transaction. This middleman said he has a buyer they made a group chat, he sent 8k to this guy. And just like that he was blocked. I know very careless. He then called me that he got scammed. When I heard how much and what happened I got so weak in the knees. That money could've gone to our kids needs, emergency savings, kids education, and medical needs. I honestly don't know what to say or do. I feel my heart breaking hearing him cry on the phone. I wanted to console him. I didn't say something that would break his heart and spirit even more. I told him what logical things he could do, to dispute the transaction. However we don't think it going to be refunded. What scares me more is that he sent his ID. Who knows what will they use that for. More than the money, his safety and our kids safety is my top concern. Now another concern is, his money was just borrowed from gcash. This I know, and I was a little confident that he'll be able to finance it since I thought that he still have savings. For context his dad sends him monthly allowances, not much but enough to provide for our kids needs and his wants. He borrowed from gcash due to him being a spendthrift. I don't really bother him with his money. But a little concerned that this is going to affect me too since I'll be shouldering more of the bills so that he'll be able to finance it properly. I've talked to him how we'll manage the finances and will be just giving him cash. I'll be handling his money now to prevent him from spending too much.
