    Seems like I've been hit with a random charge too! Can't believe they think they can just sneak it in. Time to dispute and get my money back! ????????

    Hey, I had a surprise charge too! Contact your bank ASAP to dispute it. They'll investigate and refund you if it's legit or fraud. Good luck!
