I reported it to Citibank, but they denied it as fraud as the card “was in my possession and was swiped at a chip enabled card reader.” Since then I’ve filed a police report and a report with the CFPB, but receive…

Citi reversed fraudulent charges Need some advice, my Citi CC number was somehow stolen & used by someone in Singapore to wire themselves money via Western Union 3 times.

Now a 1.5 months later, the revers…
