Help Conor Recover From Bank Impersonator Scam

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Conor Biron. I am a 24 year old news video editor at KTLA 5! Sadly at the beginning of this year I was a victim of fraud. On January 2nd I received what looked like an automated text from Wells Fargo warning me there was fraud detected on my account and that someone would contact me to resolve this issue. A scammer who gave me only the fake name Albert Clarke called me shortly after claiming to be a fraud claims agent from Wells Fargo and after slowly gaining my trust by telling me relevant information about charges and other transactions he informed me that there was fraud on my account. He then instructed me to go to the closest branch of my bank go to the teller and take out all of my cash to protect it. Naturally I was paranoid and listened to what he said. After I had gotten the cash out of my bank he informed me that he was making my new account and that my new debit card would arrive the next day. He then informed me that he would be able to give me a temporary card to use at the atm to deposit my cash. He then gave me fake ATM card number which I entered in to my apple wallet. Immediately after I found out my money was gone. After I realized what had happened later that day went directly back to the bank. After filling three different fraud claims Wells Fargo has denied them all and refuses to give me anything back. I have never been one to ask for charity but this scam has put a great deal of stress on my girlfriend and I. Multiple months since the scam happened we have been stressed to the core having to borrow money from friends to pay for groceries or make rent and I have even had to sell my car. I am only asking for what was taken from me and I am not expecting much any amount will help me get my emergency savings back up or even maybe help on a down payment on a new used car, Thank you!!!
