Internet Fraud

I was sent USPS money orders. I cash 8 for a total of $6552 at my bank. (Each Mo was completely blank, for the amount of $819.00) Most of money was Western Union transfered to Nigeria. Money Orders, I later learned was missing the Water mark of Ben Franklin and security thread on document. FedEx delivery was sent from Nigeria. One other was from West Virginia.I am afraid to report. I can not repay bank when MO's bounce. I believe it started with e-bay purchases of fabric and internet gambling. Possibly included doing survey's Survey's paid with Paypal, lead to internet gambling, to job offers or way to make money to pay my bills. Gambling seemed to be legit as my bank receive my cashin. I am scared, don't know what to do. any advice welcomed. This has also lead to $50 million money transfer to my bank account, I sent 2 wire transfers also to Nigeria and now they ask for another $950. HELP!
