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???

Learn about the "Pureclean" charge and why it appears on your credit card statement.

What is it?
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).
