Fraudulent transaction advice please

in Credit cards
Hi
Looking for some advice please
In a moment of madness I purchased what I thought was a legitimate investment using my Tesco credit card. I have not had contact with the company since, it was clearly a scam.
I contacted Tesco and after 30 weeks they have finally advised that I am not covered under section 75 as it was an investment purchase. I cannot see where it says this means it is excluded, either under section 75 or within Tesco terms and conditions.
Regardless of my opinion now, I made a purchase in good faith and have received no goods or services for it ...there has been no contact.
My question is are Tesco correct or is this their policy rather than legislation/law? I of course maybe wrong however it doesnt seem right to me. I have since read that this was put in place to avoid claims for unsuccessful investments, however this is not my case ..... I have no investment.
Please be kind with your replies. I have never done anything like this before, I was duped to make an impulsive decision in a moment of weakness. I am more upset about why I didnt see this for what it was and my error of judgement, however it was £200 which is a lot for me.
Thanks in advance
