You can contact the police in the local region.
Sadly, if the money was sent by online transfer service there is not much hope of recovery. What happened is a crime, but recovery of the money is highly unlikely. It most likely has been spent.
This is a great chance to remind people reading here. Do NOT send money to anyone you do not know in person. Not someone you met by email. Someone you have met face to face. I really advise not to send money to anyone who isn't part of your family.
