How to report the theft of debit card through an unknown online purchase?

Hi

Late last year, I was frauded and lost money from my bank account online by an unknown person who somehow made an online purchase using my debit.

I reported it to the bank immediately when I noticed the fraudulent activity and at the same time managed to block and replace the card.

Following with the bank, they brushed off the case and informed me to report it to the police which I did but to no help as I was told the only way was to register the case online.

Until now, nothing came out of it.

Is there anyone here who can really help on the way forward?

I feel I did all I was required to do but no help. I have a family and kids and this was so much money to lose for a regular expatriate like me.

Please, can someone advise?
