Do as Paul says and close your account immediately. When closing your account, I would personally talk to your bank manager and tell them what has happened.
Do you live in the United States? I ask because you're using R

I don't think we should be advising people to close their accounts until we have the facts of their loans. Sometimes closing your account can get you into trouble. Secondly, we don't know what state this person is in or even if they're in our country. Let's not dispense with advice until we have the full scenario.

Hi,
I think you have become a victim of Nigerian scam. a large number of consumers have become a victim of this scam off late. You have done the right thing by not paying any more money to Erick Rocy. However, there is nothing much you can do to get back your money. I don't think it will be possible to recover your R1200.
I don't think closing your bank account will be a wise move. You must contact your local law enforcement agency as early as possible. You should also take steps to protect your identity by accessing information about identity theft published by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

That's not necessarily true. If you wired the money, you're probably screwed. If you wrote a check or did an ACH payment, you may be able to get that money back after talking to your bank and filing a formal complaint of fraud.
we should start asking folks which country they are in cause in
we should start asking folks which country they are in cause in general laws are different from country to country. This site is becoming more and more popular all over the world and it doesn't matter if you are in another country cause the situation might be the same. people take out loans over the internet and what happens if they have an account that is involved with the loans
Hence my question about what country the OP was in.
