Complaint 234948 Details

I met this guy on a dating website. He said he was a contractor from Birmigham, AL. Said he went to Johannesburg, SA to do a job. He emailed me a copy of what he said was a check from JP Morgan Bank. The check is for $850,000.00. He sdaid he couldn't get it cashed because JP Morgan Bank didn't have International Banking in SA. He asked me to send $1300 to him for expenses on April 5th, 2013. I did. Then on April 7th he said immigration was holding his passport because he owed workers $10,000. I thought he was a scammer. He gave me a phone number is Alabama to call saying it was his mom's number and she would prove to me that he was legit. I talked with her she was older and very nice. Over a few days I managed to come up with the money and stupidly sent it to him still believeing he was who he said he was. He sent me his flight details so I could pick him up at the airport in Birmingham, AL. Then he said he needed another few thousand to pay for the increase of his ticket. With fees to send money it has come to approx $22,000.00. He has stopped communicating with me and his "mom" won't return my calls. Please is there anything I can do to get my money back?
