First bank should be liable for this stolen fund....if it was a USA bank that issued the card, I know your charge back would have gone smoothly. Everything with Nigeria is headache. If the merchant didn't want to release easily, first bank can file a case against it.

BRO since first bank wants it the hard way, then u do it the hard way, report the matter to the authorities, to the army or navy barack, then let 5 TO 10 army officers follow you to the bank manager and see if your money wont be returned.

It doesn't work that way bro. Military officers have no role to play here and can get into serious trouble with the military high command if found to have dabbled in to purely non military issues. I advise the op to get legal advice. Simple

When i hear people say that Nigeria is the most corrupt country on earth, I just laugh at them.

USA is the home of theives and scammers.
They don't need to see your debit card or credit card to hack them.
If you make a purchase in any mall or shop and use your debit card to pay, there's what is called a skimmer that records every information on your card.
The hacker will use it on Best buy or Walmart (The easiest shop to scam). They will make a purchase online, they will immediately change the home delivery option to pick up because if the address on the card don't match the shipping address they will not send your item. They will go to Best buy or Walmart and pick up the item they purchased online.
There's a chip in every card that every phone detects automatically that's what apple wallet is, you just show your iPhone to the POS machine and it will detect your card.

I have seen professional scammers here in the USA.
From Tax refund scam to using someone social security card.
Once a person dies, the hackers will hack into the system, collect his/her social security number and sell it to illegal immigrants.

If your card was issued by any USA bank, they will give you back your money even if it is $60, 000

Not a good advice. A legal process is the best option.

Your Bank need as much information from you as possible to help you.

Lets look at this, did you shop at Best Buy? When last did you shop at New York, Did u make a purchase over the phone, did you use a Compromised system, what sort of Authorization did best Buy get? C.V.V or PIN or Signature. You can Email me via NL and I will get back with help. It happened to me in Amsterdam but mine was a case of system fault. I was charged thrice for an item I bought over 3 consecutive days.

Dealing with chargeback is a pain in the Ass actually. No Merchant wants to be forced to return funds, and in the case of Nigeria- well u know our reputation.

Normally, the financial institution (either credit or debit) are the ones who are supposed to take control of the situation and rectify the issue.

That being said. It happens like that. It could be different scenarios.

1. You used the card online and you mistakenly hit "Pay" twice at checkout. This has happened to me before. I was trying to buy an airline ticket and my wifi went off immediately I pressed send. Since it didn't go through, I retried it. It was days later that I was checking my credit card bill, when I noticed. I called my credit card company and they told me to call American Airlines. When I did, they told me it was pending at their end, but if the transaction goes through, they will refund me. I was eventually refunded after like 2 days.

2. You used your debit card in-store at best-buy and one fraudulent employee ran your card twice so he/she can pocket the rest. I've heard cases of that happening at Walmart and restaurants. This one is harder to solve and you might not get your money. I used my card to buy gas one day, and after I got the alert for the gas I bought, few minutes later, I got another alert. That was after I had left the gas station. I called my credit card company again, and they said they will open a dispute with the merchant. They did, but the merchant (Chevron) refused to respond on time. The CC providers just removed the charges from my bill. I don't know how they did it

That being said, I always advocate for people to either pay with a credit card or cash. Disputes concerning debit cards are a pain and most times never solved. The US is also notorious for those kinds of card frauds. This is no news.

If your card was issued with a US bank, it would have even been better. Nigerian banks are notorious for frustrating people when it comes to crediting money they overcharged you for. Goodluck dealing with the CSRs at Nigerian banks.
