i posted an ad to sell an item for $350 so we made arrangements to send a cashiers check but they made it for 3200 instead of $350 . they gave an excuse that they did it on accident and asked to take 350 out and send the rest back in a cashiers check ..... they gave us none of their info and called my house through internet relay.. i knew something was weird about it but didnt think much of it they called my mom saying 3200 was taken out of the bank and we know why we were scammed wat can we do??????

Yeah it's fraud/scam. Contact your bank. See if you can put a stop order on the payment you sent them. They can also help you work with law enforcement.

Nothing.
This happens all the time. You cannot trust anyone anymore.
Sorry, you are out the money you sent, the money for your item, and if already mailed the item too.
Tough lesson to learn. Your only recourse would be if the scammer is a US citizen and you can hunt them down and find them to sue and prosecute. Another country? s.o.l.
