Got scammed on Chime
Honestly it was my fault but I'll start. Saw some pokemon cards that were listed for sale on offer up and I wanted to buy them. The person at first told me to pick it up but gave me an address that was way further than was listed. They then told me to pay for shipping and I reluctantly agreed to. They then gave me their chime ID and told me to pay there. I never used Chime before so I was unfamiliar with the rules and such. I made a transfer of 190 to the guy through what's called a pay anyone transaction and the guy just blocked me on offerup and Chime so now I can't request my funds back.
So I didn't know that the pay anyone was not going to be protected so it was honestly my fault I should have done some research first. I tried contacting the customer support but they just told me that there was basically nothing I can do to recover my funds unless the person sent the money back (blocked me so I can't even request for it). I was also told by support that the account had muiliple reports for being a scammer but it's still active? Honestly just lost 190 bucks and it's my fault.
So guys just make sure to not use the pay anyone transfer and make the same mistake as I did :(
