    Hey, I had the same charge on my statement last month. It turned out to be legit - just a subscription renewal I forgot about! Double-check your accounts!

    Hey, I saw a similar charge on my statement. Gave me a scare at first, but turns out it was just for an online purchase I forgot about. Double-check your online orders!
