Citibank
Bank Demanded Fraud Statement After Wire Transfer Email Scam

Citibank sent me a letter wanting me to admit to a credit card fraud transaction.
This all stems from an email I received from a man masking himself as a company legitimately sending me money through a wire service. I had no knowledge of it except for the email from this person, saying he would wire me a sum of 7800 dollars that he said was his money.
Citibank wants me to sign a false statement claiming I did this and to open an account to pay it back, as I sent the money to another co-partner of the person above, believing it was theirs.
They have threatened me with a lawsuit if I don't.
I did not even know who sent the money, or which wire service or bank it was, 2 weeks before they contacted my bank.
