3 years agoI was charged by a grocery store I never visited in North Carolina and I live in Missouri and chime had no idea how they got my card information. The store charged my card for an item then two hours later put the money back! Then a fraudulent website charged me for sofa covers I disputed the charge got my money back now chime says I still owe them they payment for the couch covers I NEVER BOUGHT! WTH is this company ran by the Chinese government? Are they out to get what they can get from their customers? What happened to your integrity chime? Do you know anything about that?
