They asked to download Askdesk app from Play App for Google and then connected to my Chime account. When they saw I had no money in the account yet, they asked did I have a credit card.

04/13/26 I listed a pink cowgirl hat on the NextDoor app. This morning I received a text from a woman who said her husband wanted to pick it up. I said ok. She gave me his phone number and said his name was Mark Hernandez. Phone 601-942-8989 I texted him that his wife wanted me to send him the information about the hat. He responded wanting my Zelle information. I told him I only use Venmo. He asked me for my venmo credentials and I sent them to him. He then sent me a text a little bit later saying that he had sent the money. I received a message from Venmo Team saying that they had a problem because he sent it from a business account and my account was a personal one. I told him and he said for me to call Venmo so I called the number on the notice provided by VENMO TEAM. The woman I spoke with said that I would need to arrange for him to send an additional $500 because it was from a business account to a personal account. But that I could immediately refund it back to him. Since I have never dealt with a business account before, I followed her instructions. She had me download CHIME and set up an account through chime. She instructed me on how to let her help me set it up. I did but somehow she obtained my banking information because I noticed immediately that $500 was taken out of my checking account. I tried to stop it and told her I was calling my bank. Our call was disconnected immediately. I tried to text him but he said he had dealt with these problems before and it would be ok, that the money would be put right back into my account. It wasn’t. Him and I have a text exchange and I have that conversation in my text messages. I decided to check with his wife but Her messages were removed by NextDoor at 1:18 PM 04/14/2026 A few hours after filing the fraud, I received an email from Chime saying that their investigation shows no fraud and they were closing the case.

On 2/28/26 about 4:06 pm, I was called by someone pretending to be a representative from chime bank. I have an account with them. They first texted me from 878-263-5008 informing there was fraudulent activity on my account. They showed an amount, and to respond yes or no to the charge. I chose 1 for not authorizing the charge for 275.78 on 2/27/26. I went to Walmart on 2/27/26, but this was not the amount I paid. Shortly after that, they call pretending to be my bank, and asking questions, and other info about my account. They then had access to my many account, and I verified the last 4 numbers for the ending of my account number. Shortly after that, I was sent code to authentic my account. I feel it was an inside job because the same code came to a previous thread of authentication codes for my account. They knew everything about my account. Directly after my money in the amount of 3400.00 was transferred out of my account and wired to a one pay debit card in Florida. In my account, it clearly showed everything was done in Florida. Chime bank can see the same thing that I see on the account. I filed a dispute twice, and it was denied both times.

My payroll check had just deposited on Thursday November 20th and he took all my money that night so he told me my money would be deposited back in my account on Friday so I had a bill that was coming out Friday and someone loaned me $400 just in case the deposit didn’t come through in time from them to pay that bill that was already about to come out on Friday. So Friday they called back tryna to see if the money had deposited and they ended up taking the $400 also that was in my account for that bill leaving me with $3.34 in my account. I realized something wasn’t right and I contacted chime and did a claim so today November 23 chime sunt an email and denied it so I called them again and reopened my claim because I need my money I don’t know them people and that’s to much money to just let somebody [BBB Scam Type: Credit Cards] [Business: Chime-impostor] [Location: MS, USA -
