I would inform both the bank and the online company that you are filing a fraud report with the police, and then do it.

The online company certainly has phone records or some other means that will prove that it wasn't actually you that called them and gave them the bank account info. They are just stalling because it will be them that is left holding the bag.

What is the online company? What sort of service or goods did they say they provided for $500? Seems to me, that if you never got something that you paid for, it is also fraudulent for this company not to return the money to you. Do you know a good attorney that could write a quick letter and light a fire under them? See if the police would include them as being a party to the fraud, since they are not returning your money and still plan on taking more, while you have nothing in return. Doesn't that make them an accessory to the fraud?
