No one's answering the thread title so, here we go:

Learn from your mistake and get over it because (as they say) Bitcoin Transactions are irreversible
or better if you can tell us the site where you were scammed and their possible modus operandi so you or anyone here can open a scam accusation to that site.
That way, your experience wont just help you but other prospective victims too.
Also lastly, we aren't 100% sure if that address is really a scammer's address, you know what I mean, right?

I have been scammed a message lured me to sent btc's to be rewarded with btc's.
I really don't get how so many people still fall for this! It's like the oldest scam in the book. If someone IRL asks you to give him $100 and promises to return $200, do you believe him? Of course not! So why would you believe this when someone does the same online?

The address you sent to has 11 other txs, and has not moved the funds at all

It might be worth contacting the scammer, and asking if he would consider returning some of your coins, offering to let him keep some.
I highly doubt that: the scammer can just keep everything now.

I know it's sort of like grovelling, but I've seen it work before.

Yeah, unfortunately, your Bitcoin is gone.

The address you sent to has 11 other txs, and has not moved the funds at all, so I wonder if this is an address the scammer directly and manually controls. It might be worth contacting the scammer, and asking if he would consider returning some of your coins, offering to let him keep some.

I know it's sort of like grovelling, but I've seen it work before. In any case, what certainly doesn't work is abusive language and insults (unless you've no intention of convincing the scammer to return you anything).

Cut your losses and don't look back, I've seen too many people fuss and worry over Bitcoin they've surely lost forever. Lesson learnt.

Hope you did not send large amount of btc because I'm Sorry, there's no way to undo the payment.  You just have to be careful next time.
However, if there are other details of the person like name, phone number, website, physical address e.t.c that yu can lay your hands on, you can get and send to the relevant authorities in your area.

Hi readers,

Two days ago I have been scammed a message lured me to sent btc's to be rewarded with btc's. Is there a way to undo the payment?   I bought with a credit card for the first time btc's and open an Electum wallet where my btc's can transfer to. From the wallet I did the payment to the scammer(s).

Hope it can be fixed.

Kind regards,

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible.. Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but that's just the way it is. As soon as your transaction ends up in a block, there is no way to cancel it.
The only things you can do is open a proper scam report on this forum, so at least other's won't fall in the same trap as you did, maybe try to track down the scammer (depends on the method he used to scam you... Most of the time it's very hard, nearly impossible, to track them down) and last but not least: learn from this experience...
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Nobody has a magic method to multiply BTC, nobody will double your money without effort from your side...
