The credit union - Lea Community Federal Credit Union said I would have to pay back the extra money 4,000+ I had the money that I recieved but not the money that I sent to Nigeria that I have to pay back, they cashed the check without even checking it out first, said since it was from a local oil producing company they didnt think anything about it.

I want something done to stop this.

Sorry you got hit. This scam has been around for a while but your case is not unusual. It sounds so reasonable, especially since your bank accepted the check. I know nothing about the law, but maybe you could meet with a lawyer to discuss your case, you said "they cashed the check without even checking it out first, said since it was from a local oil producing company they didnt think anything about it" so you relied on this statement to wire the money to the scam artist. If the bank said, "Wait until this check clears" you probably wouldn't have sent the money off to Nigeria or wherever it went. The bank is maybe somewhat responsible for this.
