You need to inform the FBI and the attorney general's office. You fell for a common scam. Depending upon where you sent the money (or their communications originated) you may want to also inform Interpol. You re probalby liable for the $3,300 money you withdrew from your account. Sorry. Hopefully the Attorney General's offfice can hllp you get at least partially reimbursed from the victim's fund.

Good luck
