601-942-8989

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.
