Complaint 232074 Details

I was told he was an art dealer and he needed a personal asst to help him pay his clients and pay bills for him while he travels around the world, so he sent me a check for 2,950.00 so I took it to my bank and put it in my savings and waited for it to clear. I called my bank yesterday and the bank said it had cleared so then I went to Western union and sent money to two of his so-called clients in the Philippines as he instructed me, then I get a call from my bank last night saying the check was fraudelent. I then called western union to try to stop the wire but it had already gone thru but I made a compliant with them. I can't believe how gullable I was...He just seemed to sincere....now what do I do?? The amount I sent each client was 1.100.00 each....my payment was supposed to be 600.00 of which is still in my savings and the other 157 was to pay the wiring of the money and gas money to drive around to do his errands. I don't have his address, he told me he lives in Boston when I spoke with him yesterday and he would be back in the states on Sunday. He said he was in Ecudor.
Sincerely,
