Hi Jacquelyn,it is a well known scam.
The scammers issue you a money order or a check and they turn out to be fraudulent.
You probably forwarded most of the money to him by western union.
Your bank will require that you pay the money back to them.
They could even press charges against you.
Please stop communicating with him,he will never be found.These criminals use fake names and never tell their real details.
Please go to your bank and explain the circumstances and see if you can work out a re-payment plan,as soon as possible.
You should also go to your local police and show them all emails between yourself and the scammer and my reply to you,here.
If you have any other checks or money orders from him,give them to the police also,so they don't think that you are a part of this scammer's group.
Also be very careful of any groups approaching you on email and telling you that they can get your money back for a fee,this is also a well known scam.
May I ask if this was someone you met on a dating site?
If so,you may find more answers at http://internet-love-scams.org/
We also have a few police officers here and at http://www.419law.com/
if you wish to ask an officer what else you can do.

Aquene - Your advise is sound. Counterfeit means that it is a fake and of no value (victim seemed to not know what it meant). We had two cases similar to this here and the victim is responsible for the loss and if they do not cooperate with the bank, they could be prosecuted (we try very hard to avoid that). Go to your local LE agency and tell them everything you can and give them everything you can. Intent is still a huge part of criminal prosecution and by working with LE, it goes to intent (or lack thereof). I tell people all the time to work with a bank or LE to check any questionable check or other bank draft before cashing it or drawing against a deposit. Good job, good answers -- :D
