User reports unauthorized OpenAI charges on Chime card

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user reported unauthorized charges on their Chime card, appearing to be from OpenAI. The user stated they do not have a subscription with OpenAI and attempted to freeze their card after the first charge of $106 was followed by multiple declined charges. Chime initially rejected the user's dispute, prompting the user to seek advice on how to proceed, suspecting the merchant might not be the legitimate OpenAI. AI
