Can I go after 1 wallet? I got scammed badly

It's not possible to find it, it's impossible.

If you know the range of the private key you can try Kangaroo or Bitcrack. But if you don't know the range, forget it.

I know the wallet and public key

You could limit the attack to a single wallet but it wouldn't really increase your odds. The vast, vast majority of processing time is spent creating the random private key. After that, relatively speaking, there's not much of a difference between comparing the key against a single wallet and a couple thousand wallets. Besides, if you got scammed, the scammer probably moved the coins to a different wallet already.
