Got a weird call from someone pretending to be Chime fraud department
I got a call from someone saying they were the Chime fraud unit. They told me my account was hacked and someone was trying to buy $225.00 worth of sneakers at Nike in Georgia, and they were putting their bank account on my Chime account.
I told them I don't drive and I haven't been out of state. I was questioning the caller the whole time because they seemed weird for a Chime representative. Something felt off.
After the call, I called Chime itself. They told me they don't do business that way for fraud events. The number that called me was wrong, and they also called me on my new phone number that isn't even on my account—that was my first red flag. People are pretending to be Chime now to steal money or information. Glad I caught it in time.
