Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam Pennsylvania

I became friends with a gentlemen I met on -, who explained he was a - over in - -. After we had talked for a couple of weeks he asked if I would help bring him home early for the holiday ( - ). I asked why his family was n't helping him, and he said that his father had died in service and his mother recently in a car accident. I felt really bad, so I asked what I could do to help. I told me that he needed to transfer $3000.00 into my bank account so that I could then send it to his agent in Texas. She would then send him his ticket home. I know nothing about the military, but have always wanted to help in some way. I felt I was helping this man ( he went by the name - - ) get home and out of harms way. So he then, asked for all my bank info and assured me that it was his money going in there for his ticket home, and all I had to do was wire the money to his agent in texas. He even sent me a


me. When my friend looked him up on -, he had several new accounts. I sent an alert to - that the accounts were fake, and they were then taken down. Days later the scammer was back up on - and you can find him there today. The next day I received a call from the fraud department from my bank telling me that my bank account was drained. I went into my local branch, unfortunately the man I had never dealt with fraud before, and was confusing me. After I explained the situation to the bank, I then went and filed a police report as well, like the bank requested. I was told that my bank account would only be frozen for 10 days. Then First National Bank increased it to -. ChecKS bounced, I could n't cash checks, and now they are telling me I have to pay all this money back! I was scammed, I do n't even make that much money in a month! I thought I was trying to help someone, and now I 'm the one paying for it. That is not right.
