On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I noticed XXXX fraudulent ATM withdrawals ( {$400.00} each ; total {$800.00} ) pending from my Citibank checking account. I immediately contacted the Fraud department to make a claim for XXXX unauthorized transactions. Because it was a Saturday, the Fraud dept. could not tell the exact location where the cash was taken. On Monday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, those XXXX fraud transactions posted on my account showing funds withdrew from an ATM machine in XXXX, XXXX. I am physically located in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I have no relatives in XXXX and have not made any trip there throughout my entire life. When I called to make a report on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I told the fraud dept. that on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I authorized my mother to withdraw only " XXXX XXXX dollars '' from an ATM located in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The XXXX unauthorized transactions were withdrawn XXXX hours apart from that transaction which I did not authorize. I clearly made my statement however Citibank Fraud dept. has declined XXXX of the XXXX unauthorized transactions, stating that " I authorized the withdrawal of XXXX of them. '' This is what I learned from the Assistant Branch Manager at one of the branches in XXXX, XXXX on Monday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 
This is totally absurd and ridiculously where Citibank Fraud dept. has fraudulently stated that " I authorized it '' in order to deny refunding me {$400.00} plus the non-Citi ATM fee of {$2.00}. As of now, I am still waiting to see if I will get my remaining {$400.00} + {$2.00} back which I had to make another separate fraud claim on Monday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 
How could I positively authorize the withdrawals in XXXX XXXX when 1 ) I live in XXXX XXXX XXXX and the ATM card has been in my possession all the time, 2 ) I can not possibly make a 2-hr fly to XXXX, XXXX from XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and 3 ) I have no relatives in XXXX XXXX nor has ever made any trips there. 
I 've been with Citibank since XXXX and it 's a great disappointment to know how the Fraud dept. can carelessly accuse someone making an authorization where no basis or evidence was provided to the consumers. This is one of the example that Citibank Fraud dept. commits a " fraud '' themselves. This is the first time it ever happened to me and I 'd like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to know and take appropriate actions to protect consumers who may have ran into similar situations like myself.
