Chime Sweepstakes Scams: How to Avoid Them

Overview

Chime, a popular mobile banking platform, often hosts sweepstakes on social media platforms such as Twitter and TikTok. While these sweepstakes offer legitimate opportunities to win cash prizes, it's important to be aware of potential scams.

Tips to Avoid Scams

• Verify the sender's identity. Chime will never contact you via third-party accounts.
• Check the website's URL. Look for the official Chime domain at the end of the URL before entering any information.
• Never provide personal information, such as your Social Security number or bank account number.
• Be wary of offers that sound too good to be true. If you're being asked to send money or make any payments, it's likely a scam.
