You weren't scammed; you just used poor judgement.
How is handing someone your strings with the understanding they'll give them back any different from handing them any other item with the understanding you'll give them back? Either way it's clear the recipient is supposed to return the items, and if they don't it's a scam.

Maybe you could argue that normal item transfers aren't "transactions" since no plat is involved. I wouldn't agree with that, but even if I did OP actually offered to pay the scammer so it definitely was a transaction in this case.
