Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase on a website for bikes on XX/XX/XXXX for {$210.00} with my Citi credit card. When I received the order confirmation email, something looked wrong with the links displayed. After looking into it, I noticed the email and the site I made the transaction on were fraudulent and were actually scams. Once I noticed this, I made a fraud dispute the same day. 

About a month later, Citi asked me for details since the seller was saying I made the purchase. I did not dispute that but followed up with evidence that I did not know I was being scammed and will in fact, never receive the products I " purchased ''. The site is not even available anymore as it has likely been taken down. 

Just today, XX/XX/XXXX I received a note from Citi saying they decided there was no fraud and my initial chargeback was reversed. I am not expected to pay that {$210.00} as it sits on my account. I called and explained to someone in hopes of a simple resolution and they said because I reported it as fraud first, there is nothing they can do now. If I would not have reported it as fraud, they might be able to help. This makes no sense to me. Please help.
