Just some scammers that convince people to wire them money through Moneygram and Western Union (so it cannot be traced). They probably had you send the money out of the country, right? That ensures that U.S. law enforcement won't have jurisdiction where the money was picked up.
The FTC has a website devoted to this scam :
