Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

am i going to jail for a work at home scam?

It was an work from home job and all i had to do was follow his instructions for $300 a week. I think he was using a fake name that is Keith Grant in his emails. it started last week around Tuesday. i gave him my bank account information like a idiot and then he wired $2,300 in my account. on the first day i withdraw $100 from my bank that was cleared and then use moneygram to a name he gave me that was Emmanuel O Adepegbra in Nigeria. i didnt think much about it that day. next day when all the money was cleared as so i thought i followed his instructions again and wired him about $1,900 by using western union and keep the rest of it. every thing was fine until last Wednesday i check my balance and found out that the bank return the check. i told him what happen he said i was a maintenance thing at the bank then i call the bank and they told me that the check was returned because it not real. he got mad that i call the bank and i stop the last transfer of $100. He said he was going to report me because i stop the transfer and i said i that i am quitting. I had to change my email and phone number. It was too late for to get $1900 back. I report him to The Federal Trade Commission.
