I am so sorry to hear that you have become a victim of this scam. Can I ask what state you live in? (you can send that to me privately if you would like)
I would start by writing up a detailed letter of what happened to you and you can use that to send out to all of the different places that you can report this scam to. Go to this link for a listing
http://scamvictimsunited.com/resources_ ... _check.htmHere is the sad part . . . there are lots of places to report these scams to, but there is no place that can help you to recover your money. The only victims that I know of that have recovered money have done so due to settlements with their banks.
This is why we all need to pressure our government to do more about these scams and take them seriously.
