Hi im retarded. I got 3g's worth of these counterfeit money orders. I deposited it and sent the cash to freakin africa. As I was depositing them the banker told me the money orders werent scanning so i asked to make sure "are they good?" and he said [censored] accept it and it would be clear that night. I figured that meant it was real but no. Im sure bankers should have an idea these scams have been going around. Is there anything i can do? Have you heard of anyone getting their money back somehow? i hate africa

Pay the money back to the bank and educate everyone you know about the scam.

If your bank hadn't already done so, take the money orders and any documentation (letter, email ect.) sent with them to your local law enforcement. You may not get your money back, but you have given law enforcement more evidence which may help slow down scams like this one.

Actually, skip local law enforcement and go straight to the post office. They can get them directly to the US Postal Inpection Service agents in the area and make the proper report. Local can't do anything about these scams and contacting them is a waste of everyone's time, including your own.
