    Date of transaction: 9/29/2023 I was scammed and had no idea what was happening, I was on the phone with a Chime costumer service member impersonator who asked me to verify who I was with my name, address, phone number, last 4 of my social and my email. After this they some how were able to get onto my chime account without my knowledge, moved all of the money I had in all of my accounts. Checking,Savings and credit they moved all the money to my checking and then sent it to their own Chime account. Under the name of ***************************. I immediately called Chime and explained what was going on and they filed a dispute regarding the $1290 transaction that I was unaware of. They told me it was going to be until the end of November until investigation was final. Not 3 hours after this conversation with Chime they sent me an email stating that no error occurred and that the case was closed. Im beyond shocked that they did absolutely nothing to help me get my money back that I have worked hard for to pay for my house, my car and the food I eat. Now I have nothing and could potentially lose my house and be homeless because of fraud that Chime didnt do anything about.

    From September 11, 2023 to September 13, 2023 a total of 111 fraudulent charges were made from my Chime account. Total amount was about $530. I called Chime to inform them of the charges and files disputes. Less then 12 hours later I was told they denied my disputes. Called again to explain. They reopened the investigation. The second Chime rep I spoke to even said she could tell just by looking at the charges that they were fraudulent. She reopened the investigation. Once again, less then 12 hours later Im told I was denied again. I have since filed a complaint with the ***** still awaiting on a response. Chime is refusing to reimburse me the money that was stolen.

    Complaint: 20672668

    I am rejecting this response because: as I explained to chime multiple times that my cash app got hacked with my chime debit card linked to it and cash app refused to help me and actually told me to dispute it with my bank and that's what did and the chime investigation team is not doing the proper investigation if they did they would realize that cash app had problems and even said that all over social media so I don't feel like chime is doing what they need to do as a bank or doing its job as best they should be doing as a bank so that's why I'm refusing the response that they already gave me without the bbb getting involved and so that's why I involved the bbb originally because the lack of chime doing its job as a bank or company I even gave them a police report that they didn't care about which should be evidence enough to reverse the charges in my favor

    Complaint: 20672548

    I am rejecting this response because:

    On numerous times I sent every single piece of information they requested  and just kept getting the same email back requesting the same information.  There customer service phone line is a joke no has any answers. As to the unusual transaction amounts they want docs supporting the money and I would provide it but they won't unlock my account or even show me the transactions that are in question thereby  conducting their business  with extreme neglect and or criminal practices are being practiced on a regular basis. Every dollar in that account has come from a legit direct deposit. I have never been a non payer to this bank if you can call that and now they are saying that there gunna keep my entire direct deposit for a week's worth of work from a blue collar mobile technician.  This business never even stated to me that there was a possibility that my money would be sized. In short they just will not unlock my account or provide the transaction details that made this account get suspended. I have provided bank of origin statements for all of the money in my accounts linked to Chime 2 forms of government  issued ID  social security  numbers pictures of my mass state driver's lic. That isn't enough? Each time they just respond with the most generic lifeless standard issue bank terminology that provides  no clarification.  As of this email  I will insist that the BBB help me put together a lawsuit or class action law suit for all the other victims of the bank and my funds be returned  and I will never do business with cowards like this company.  I appreciate  in the BBB for actually pursuing this and helping the average hard working americN who is yet 1x again being screwed out of his or her 746$ a week paycheck. To chime you need to release  the amounts in question, the details of which you seek, and ever transaction in question. If i recieve no assist from Chime bank or my funds released in the next 2 weeks I will be looking into legal options to  make enough noise they have to listen to me. This is not a threat  it a dare for Chime to step up and do the right thing here.

    Chime iam available day or night st the phone number on my account that you have . I urge you to do this immediately. I will be storing any and all communications between myself and Chime in case the docs will have be used to move forward to my attorney to see what  the next stage would be if chime leaves me with no options but to take them to a court date

     

    I sincerely wish this didn't have to happen . Although I will not stand for a large bank taking money like joke money to them from me and creating weeks of distress,  fear and sleeplessness.  Thank you , Chime bank 2 weeks from this emails date  and I will go and file a legal complaint about your bank to every enforcement agency that could help to protect others from being scammed thank you for your time.

Shame on the BBB for allowing this company to just rip me off right in front of me. As to Chime  you have been given an the proper documentation about that account and where the money came from  and where it went. I request to see the very transactions in question.  Why can't you just do that and we can clear this all up? You people think iam just some little nobody that you will steal my money and I'll go away well iam guna stop. Either you comply as I have complied or I go to the next step.

I have seen plenty lf review from people on your company's reviews  and multiple people  have similar problems.  *** people are horrible at your job this has been months with little or no answer never calls u.

    On July 31st I was expecting my SSI check to be wired to my chime account. It didn't come on the 31st but it did come on August 1st, 2023 as i was in my account (checking) i noticed that my money had disappeared before i could get to it. I done some checking and come to find out this person has gone into my account and paid himself throw pay anyone to pay himself with my money throw cash app. I contacted chime and told them what has happen and they said they would investigate it for me they came back in a out three to four days telling me (no fault of theirs) so I filed another complaint a rebuttle with chime and I sent them 39 pages of evidence to prove my case and that I had nothing to do with losing my money. 8 filed a police report in my home town of ****,******** and sent them a copy of it also. They still came back to me and said (no fault of theirs. If I can't trust them with my money and **************** that they have our back in their institution (or bank) then who can 8 trust with .y money not chime for sure. I hold them accountable for losing my money and not reimbursing me for my loss I trusted them with my money and they let someone go into my accounts and stay for over 32 minutes to do whatever they wanted to do. I did not get a email 9e phone call or even a text to tell me that someone had taken my money. It's strange they will text me telling me someone has try to use my debit card but nothing about someone being in my accounts. This is the most up sured think I've ever been throw in my life. Ive got evidence to prove everything I'm saying is true. The name of the person which I don't think it was him ************** is a professional soccer ball player from ***** that's the name they used too get my money. It all started from ***** with a I phone pro *** 12 phone that's as far as I got too. Thank you and plz help me get my money back it's all I get from the *** every month I'm on disability also. Thanks again. This person isn't on my checking account.

    On July 31st 2023 I noticed that my chime account didn't have my money in it I was excepting my ssa check and it didn't come. On August 2023 I went back into my account and noticed that someone had been into my account and took every ***** i had to no fault of mine. Chime never sent me an email text or even a phone call letting me know what was happening in my account they just let it happen.  If it has been my debit card they would have text me but it wasn't it was my checking account and my savings account also. The day in question when they said I cancelled I hit a wrong button and I immediately called chime to let them know what happened. I sent chime over 39 pages of evidence that I gathered up from my accounts and sent them to chime plus a police report also was sent to them in accordance of all paper evidence. It seems that the evidence that I sent them plus the police report that they don't want to take fault of their own. If all accounts our monitored then why did this happen in the first place because their not at all. I would like my money back that was stolen out of my account at no fault of my own. I lay the blame on chime for not doing what they said they would do for the consumer (have our backs) chime has let me down in all areas to keep my money safe and they didn't I hold chime accountable for all monies gone in my accounts. Also if I am to get a refund I don't want it put back into my chime account because i cant get back into my account now. It's ********************* duty as an acting bank to refund what monies has been taken out of my accounts.  It's strange to me now that I had an account with ******************** and now I can't login whatsoever and I call them my phone number has been changed and my email has been changed also at no fault of mine. Thanks ***********************

    I am rejecting this response because:chime hasn't proved nothing that they wasn't at fault by letting someone in my checking account and that I proved my case that they are very much at fault because chime let this person or persons into my account without my knowledge. I still and always will hold them accountable for letting this happen in the first place. They said on the advertisement that they have the consumers back and they don't do it's false advertising in its self. Also on the advertisement they call themselves a bank it a banking institution it's not a bank of so then they are insured by FDIC. If I still need to show more proof to them I can and I will because I've got it all. How can chime say it's no fault of theirs when 8 e proved my case it's not my fault at all. When they say they have the consumers back then how did this happen and who is at fault in this case. I still believe that I am owed my refund of **** that was taken out of my account at no fault of my owed but of chimes fault for not monitoring my account on that day in question. Chime hasnt proved nothing in this case that it wasn't their fault at all it all points to them now. So I would like my refund because all fault of chime.

    Sincerely,

    I am rejecting this response because:it's not satisfactory because chime is at fault I proved that chime let someone into my accounts and now chime doesn't want to own up that they made a mistake by letting someone hack my accounts and steal my money. I just want chime to know this now I've done some digging on chime and I found out that chime has over 8000  compaints against them for not holding up their in of their bargain with the consumers now anyways. I have also uncovered that this isn't the first time that chime doesn't want to pay anyone. It seems that over **** people have filed class action lawsuits and civil suits against chime also.  Chime isn't a very creditable company when chime closes out your accounts or even fraudung your accounts and also  chime has a pattern of this type behavior going on all the time.  And if I might add chime has over **** cases pending lawsuits against them now. I guess the best thing to do is to *** them like said before. One more it's false advertising tobwhem you say chime has our backs that's a real lie. I'll get chime on that too. 

    This is my last response to chime throw the BBBs because  chime doesn't want to pay cause no fault of theirs that's a lie in its self also. Have a great day see you in court chime.
