Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

I am an Indian Citizen who was an online banking customer of 'Amerson Finance Bank' (https://www.amersonfinancebk.com, website not active). During account creation I have shared my Indian mobile number and residing address in India. The bank has closed in August 2022 after collecting bank fees and tax fees from me. I have receipts for the same. The bank has not given me any cheque in lieu of the remaining amount present in the bank and has not requested my bank details to make a transfer.

I have reported the bank to the FBI internet fraud website ic3.gov and also to FDIC. I have shared all the original emails from the bank. FDIC says in a reply that I am possibly a victim of a scam and I should report the same to ic3.gov or ftc.gov

I want to know if anything can be done to recover my funds.

I have also reported the bank to CBI in India.

Till date I have not received any reply from FBI or FTC regarding my funds in the bank.

Where was this bank situated? In case it was a foreign bank and does not operate in india, CBI has no jurisdiction to take up the matter.
