On January 11, I responded to a pop-up from "Microsoft" about malware. I called their tech support number and exposed my computer to hackers. On the 12th I was called and instructed to wire funds to a specific bank account for safety. I did so, but when I realized the scam, I had the bank recall the funds within 4 hours of the transfer while both banks were open. The receiving band ignored the recall and dispensed the funds in cash early on the 13th. Both banks have closed this case while blaming me, the victim, for initiating the transfer. Indemnification has been requested by the receiving bank because of their perceived maleficence. I told my bankers not to indemnify the bank. Clearly both banks were aware of such scams but neither advised me of the hazard. The local sheriff, the FBI, the FDIC and the FTC were notified, but this case is caught in the web of the national crime wave. Recovery of the funds seems unlikely. I will be grateful for helpful information going forward.
