But you don't say what else was in the box. Perhaps you will get a better answer if you tell us what else was in the box. Obviously, if it was some tickets to... View More

I am sorry this happened. But I don't see where the bank is to blame. If I understand you correctly, you expected to benefit from these transactions, making you a willing, (although a duped) participant in a possible fraud scheme. I think the bank is not to blame.
