What is it?

I received a phone call from my credit union 09/14/14 wanting to know if I auth a $49.95 charge, Pure Clean in Korea. I have no idea what or who this is, wondering if its related to the Target scam???

I also got this charge, the only thing I figured out was I got AVG protection for my computer.

I received a charge of 49.95 from pureclean as well. It posted 9/10/14. I reported it to my bank as a fraudulent charge.

I checked my pending checking account charges and saw a charge of $49.95 from "PURECLEAN KR". I have no idea what that is. Called my bank right away to report it. I always check for skimmers at the ATM and gas pumps, so I have no idea where they got my card number. I use my debit card everywhere, so there is no telling where it was compromised.

As others have said, I received a $0.80 currency exchange charge (KR) and a $49.95 charge for Pureclean KR around mid-September. Also received a $49.95 charge for an 888-XXX-XXXX.COM (the actual numbers are redacted) in early to mid September.

I had the same thing happen! When I called the number on my credit card statement they said it was a 3rd party vendor and it was from some unknown website that I know I never used (I believe the rep on the other line said it was jazzykitty.com or something of that nature)!! Apparently they had charged my card 3-4 times without my knowledge for the same amount ($49.95).

Can you help? What is this charge?
