This is a vending machine charge. I work at a hospital and use the vending machine a lot. This shows as pbc metro south on my bank statement. At first I wondered what it meant but then I realised it's there daily. I buy a pop daily.

What is it?
I haven't been at McCormick place!!! Fraud.
It is a charge from a vending machine located at McCormick Place Chicago
This charge is for vending machines that have card swipes. It raised some suspicion for me to but then I looked back at the date and remembered buying soda from a vending machine at Moraine Valley Community College(no where near McCormick place). I'm guessing this is just the billing address for certain vending machines
I was not at McCormick Place. This is a fradulent charge.
Just so you realize that this is a fraudulent charge that you did not authorise. I am a Chicago Police Detective and have seen this countless times. There was a card reader on the machine you did originally use for the purpose of buying a beverage when you were her, probably at Loyola. If you were never here, the same thing happened where you live. "Skimming" which is what it is called is where a victim uses thier credit card or debit card to make a purchase and when they swipe their card, the "skimmer" reads the card and at ATM's it also takes a video of you putting in your pin number. They then make a blank card, emboss it with your numbers and the rest is history. Steal a little and get a lot, steal a lot you end up getting caught. here is a link to help you understand how this works.
