Thank you for the additional explanation.
Can you give us any information that might help identify the scammer, or did you transact all business via telephone?
If they transferred money into your checking account, they must have had your bank numbers, right?  How did you give them those numbers?  Repeated phone calls, emails, snailmails ... whatever?

Sorry you were scammed.
Unfortunately, since you fell for the scam, you are now on a "sucker list" being distributed to other scammers.
Print out the following, and refer to it frequently, to avoid further scams

Things to believe:

• "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."
• If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, a car from a caller, or a grant from a gracious government
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• Everything you read on the internet or hear on the phone is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or a different famous software company, or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you Vanilla Card, GreenDot, MoneyGram, Western Union, iTunes or use ANY gift/money/reload  PIN-type card to send money to a scammer, the money is gone.  In fact, as of June, 2016, it is ILLEGAL for telemarketers to ask for payment via these methods.
• You should beware of Geeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites, or a statement that your computer is infected.
• 876 is NOT your lucky number, and it will cost you money to call that area code!
• The number you see on your Caller ID may not be the number of the person who called you!
• The Do Not Call List works as intended.  It is NOT a call blocker!

They called Discover and acted  like they were my credit advisor and asked about taking money from transferring it to my checking account. They know my banks name and my mother maiden name but don't have bank checking number

Who can I report they scum too ?

Your State Attorney General, the FTC and the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Make sure your bank and all credit card companies know about this and also contact the three credit agencies to place a freeze on all new credit without a PIN you provide them.

I was called by this number. I was told it was from a low interest rate program.

gave them all my credit card info and social security number
