Banks won't reverse transfers depiberately initiated by the account holder. You would have had to go through the legal system to get your money back.

But that's a different case than money being "drained" from an account by someone else.

They sometimes do reverse these transactions, but the amount of money involved here (1 bicycle worth) is probably easy for the scammer to put out-of-reach of the bank very quickly -- withdrawing cash, buying gift cards etc.

Yeah, just like they won't reverse cash transaction. Pay someone on street for something, they take the money and don't give you what you wanted. Go to police, and they won't get your original cash back...
