Date
Time
Chronological order of what happened, eg. you got a text from your bank warning you about an unknown transaction
The exact wording of any texts sent to you
The bank account number your money was sent to

I did not authorize these transactions as I did not know I was talking to a fraudster. The money was taken without my knowledge or consent.

I urge you to reimburse me for my losses of [amount you lost here] and provide your confirmation regarding the same.
If you do not uphold my complaint, I request you send me your final response so that I can take further steps as appropriate.
Yours sincerely,
[Your name]
