I'm part of a scam and I need help bad...

So what's going on here is that I put an ad on Craigslist and someone wanted me to ship my item to them when I gave them a tracking number in order for me to receive the payment. I forwarded the email to PayPal fraud or scam email and they replied back with that it was a total fake PayPal email. So i continued to talk to the guy and he said if I helped scam with him, I could make some money, so me being stupid, I said yes. He added me on Facebook, he got my cell phone number off of Facebook and he texts me from the TextFree app on iphone/android. So now I listened to him when he said he could transfer me money to my bank account if i made a bank of America account so I did and gave him my routing number and account number and the SWIFT code for that bank. And now he "says" he wired money to my account, about $5000 and I can keep $2000 and then I have to send it back the remaining back via western union or money gram or wire the rest back to his bank account. So i need help on ideas on what I should do to stop all contact with this person. I have tried blocking him on facebook and he texts me asking me why did I block him, and I just get back into talking to him again. And he also sent me this phone, really cheap Samsung Galaxy Ace from TripleClicks.com and he said I would sell it and send him 60% of the profit I get. I need help really bad. I need advice. I'm very smart with this stuff but it seemed legit due to him "wiring" money to me but I don't want to get in trouble by the law or anything. I'm really scared!

IMO. You should contact a lawyer. We do not assist people who scam people here.

Maybe another Mod or Admin will have a word. I have nothing to say.

I haven't done anything. I have family who have been victims of scams, like the good old Microsoft support scams for the people like the elderly who are computer illiterate. That's horrible. I haven't done anything wrong here. He told me he was gonna send me money. I don't know what to do. I just need help on how to stop all contact with this person. I have a name and a phone number he uses. That's about it. I need help. I am not scamming people, I want to stop all this stuff. It's horrible.

I'd agree with Bryon, agreeing to open a bank account specifically to receive money from someone that you know is a criminal has to rate pretty high on the dumbness scale.

You have done something wrong - take a look and see what the penalties for money laundering are - then when you've changed your underwear go find the lawyer as Bryon suggested.

If you really are incapable of not answering a text/FB message from someone that you know is a criminal then the best thing for you to do would be to chuck your phone and computer in the trash.

He hasn't sent me money yet, I'm going to close my bank of America account.

Once again. You were knowingly and willingly assisted/committed Federal Financial Fraud.

We are not attorneys nor legal representatives.

Turn the phone he sent you in to the police, throw out ALL other cell phones, delete your Facebook account ENTIRELY, print out all emails to and from the scammer with complete headers, and turn yourself in to the police.

Do not EVER AGAIN own or have a cell phone. You may be barred from opening a bank account, either at that one bank or at all banks. Accept it.
