I had faced the exact same fraud last year in UAE currency of 30k around. Did the below steps...
- within 3 hours of fraud raised a complaint with cyber crime( as fraud tool place early morning 3;30 am)
- immediately after raising complain called the credit card customer care and register a complaint.
- followed up rigorously with them.
- I got my money back, charges got waived off.
Note: the earlier you complain the best it is for them to stop the transfer and recover it back. If done within 24 hours they may still recover.
Post that incident i disabled international transactions on the cc. However after one week I saw again the same vendor has tried couple of times taking money but since it was deactivated I got msg of transaction failed.
International tranxs can usually happen otp-less even if your card provider is indian. Did you had intl transaction on lock? Usually one should keep cards on lock unless you wanna use them
Also just to add US folks try to ping all scams on India/ India based scam centres like scammer payback but the number of scam centres operating in places like Mynammar, non-manila/ provincial areas of philipines, certain other parts of south east asia, the us folks don’t focus much on it only because they are afraid of chinese triads / other asian mafias which mainly operate these and kinda also have sizable presence in US(legally+ illegally)
I always disable international transactions on all of my cards, only enable it when i am doing the transaction or visiting any foreign country.
