Information on romance scams and scammers.

This guy sent me a private message in FB last month. He catch up my attention because of his very romantic words which can easily attract woman's heart. According to him, he is a military captain who is based in Iraq.
He's so sweet and seems to be serious...we exchange messages until such time, he told me that he wants me to be his wife, partner in life etc...etc.. and we need to arrange our wedding as soon as possible.
For almost 3 weeks that we are communicating, we felt that we are really in love and he told me that he wants our relationship to be "real" not in FB alone. Her sister and mam sent me as well messages in FB telling that their son was so in love with me and they really want to see me and a lot of things just to feel that I am already part of their family.
He told me that he wants to visit me and plan our marriage but for the leave, he asked me to send an email to his boss that has a name "Commandant Benjamin Stephen" with an email address: [email protected]
For the sake that I want to see him personally, I did send the leave request letter to his boss. After 2 days I received an email that the leave has been granted and the vacation will be from December 15 2011 to January 10 2012. However, it was mentioned on the letter that air ticket for military are not shouldered by them because they are only entitled for a yearly ticket and thus I need to pay for it with the amount of 2000 US dollar. It was also mentioned on the mail that a military who is applying for a leave request will be given a bunos and salary and this I can get it as part of my benefits as a new wife......As part of their letter, they have attached as well a form stating their leave procedures and policies and I need to sign for it in order for me to get the benefits.
On the same day, the guy sent me a message in FB asking if I received already the mail from his boss and I said "Yes" but of course I have already in mind that this is a scam but still I pretended that I am still his HONEY BABE..He really pushed me to send the money as soon possible so everything will be processed.

I kept a distance by not answering their messages but then it seems that HE and Her sister are threatening me and even telling me that I need to be afraid with GOD because I played with them, I promised things but now all of a sudden everything changed just because of the US 2000.
It's true that I did in love with the guy even though we are just meeting online and I made some promised because all I know he's honest and true with his words but then I've noticed that something very strange when money was already involve.
Please advice what will I do, I knew they will still send me messages (as per the last email of her sister: I should not make myself to be put more on trouble because he can't not tell what their mam can do to me if she knew that I played with his brother) They are not my friend in FB as I did not add them (plus my FB account was on Private) but just to protect myself, please help.

Name of the man: Captain Wendy Gold
Sister Name: Nancy Gold
Mother Name: Florence Gold
Country: Houston Texas
