No, I would not give you much of a case out of this unhappy series of events involving the fraudulent use of your credit card since your bank apparently restored all of the money fraudulently taken and your case would apparently be premised on your being mad and not happy regarding the whole affair, none of which is likely to move a court hearing the matter to award you any significant damages (in my opinion).
