Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam Fraud or scam Virginia

I was working for a man who sent me a check. I deposited the check, and he asked me to make - payments to an " art supplier '' by the name of - - -, address is - - - - # - -, OK -. I sent her $1500.00 and $1200.00 through MoneyGram on Saturday, - -, 2015 from - separate locations. The following Wednesday, - -, 2015, I looked at my bank account and the check that my alleged employer sent me had been returned, thus putting my bank account in the negative balance. Once that had happened, I received another check for the same amount, so I took it to the bank to see if they could call and check the validity of the check, and they called the other bank and without even providing the checks information, the other bank told my bank ( - - - ) that it was most likely a fraudulent check. After seeing that, I went to the police department and gave the Officer all of my documents, emails, and texts. They told me this has been happening more than you would think, and that the bank should work with me so I do not have to pay for the fraud. The bank submitted a dispute of the charges to MoneyGram to try and get some, if not all of the charges back. They also told me to contact MoneyGram and see if they have the information from the person that picked up the money as well. I will also upload the receipts from both MoneyGram money transfers as well as the Police 's Case #.
