, James Hilton Worldwide Lotto Scam that stole OUR money! Otwatta

We recieved a letter in the mail with a check stating we had won $3, 345.00 and that we had to call this person (James Hilton) and have him activate our check. My husband looked at the check and it looked real. He called him and he said yes it was real and go and cash it and call him back.
We went to the bank and the bank cashed our check, we had $3, 345.00 in cash, so we thought this was real. We called him back as directed and he then said to take the cash and go to Walmart and fill out a money gram and put Mary London's name on it and wire her 3, 225.00. This was going to take care of the taxes for the money we were going to recieve of a total of $114, 000.00.
We were told to keep this highly confidental as part of the sercurity protocol. So there was no double claiming or unwarranted taking advantage of the program.
We took the money on (Nov. 20th) to Walmart and sent it in a wire to Mary London who lives in Canada and came home and called James Hilton again. He then told us to wait and we would be getting a call from him with the tracking number from UPS for our check. It did not happen that night.
This morning (Nov.21st) we were told we would get a call from him again and he called around 9am with a tracking number and said yes we had really won this money and it would be here in a check and to hold onto the paperwork from the wire so we could give it to the person that gave us the check to show him we had paid the taxes on it. We have called UPS with the tracking number and nothing has come up.
We then started doing more reserch into this to find that this is a SCAM! We are so angry and dissapointed in our selves for thinking this was for real. We have a large family of 7 children and that money will now come out of our bank account when the money does not clear and we will have no money for christmas this year!!!
If there is anyone out there that knows what to do to help us get our money back please help us. It would be greatly appreciated.
