What is it?
An unauthorized charge showed up in my bank statement. The vendor was noted as Pureclean at a charge of $49.95. There was an additional fraudulent charge of $.50 noted as an International Service Fee. Be aware!
Also noticed a suspicious pending credit card charge for 49.95 from PURECLEAN on 8/27. Immediately called BoA who at first said I needed to wait until it posted to dispute it. Upon seeing it came from outside the states, they said they would issue me a new card and I'm not liable for the $ if/when it posts. So that was reassuring. Still wondering how my info was compromised though...
Got a charge for $49.95 from a company called PureClean, never heard of them, and certainly never used them. Had to get my card cancelled.
Today I reported this PURECLEAN CARD charge of $49.95 as fraudulent, even though it is still in Pending status of 8/27/14 on my online account.
Same thing happened to me today. I was checking my PNC activity online and noticed a pending charge from PURECLEAN for $49.95. I immediately called the bank and cancelled the card. They told me to wait for the transaction to post first and then submit a charge dispute.
Same issue, Pure Clean $49.95 from Korea on 8/23/14. Had to cancel my card.
Same as the others pure clean $49.95. Called my bank got #866-732-8213 this # is disconnected. Looked up pure clean on Computer got the # in Washington 866-387-7873. Was not them but they were helpful they gave me this web site. Someone posted 888-426-5392 as a # to call. I called spoke to Halondra he said the pay was denied by my bank my bank shows as pending. I hope these people get caught.
Yeah, got the alert on my account as well and immediately called about it. Will be disputing the charge and getting a new card as a precaution.
I received a text from bofa this morning about unusual activity. When I checked it was a charge for Pureclean for 49.95. They immediately canceled my card and reversed the charge. Wish I knew who these people are!
I checked my account activity and found this fraudulent charge for 49.95 on it this morning. State code was "KR", which is of course South Korea.
Fraud.
got a pureclean charge of $49.95, foreign fee $1.49 called b of a, and dispute it. havent used this card for 2 months, so whoever it was...
So if 100% of all PUreclean charges are fraud, why aren't banks denying all charges? Why do we have to even report it? Are the too big to succeed? By the way, I called the customer service number and they told me what email was used to order the fake product and it wasn't one I created. I wonder if they can be prosecuted for fraud and identity theft.
Was charged to my account on Thursday, August 28. I called my bank, disputed the charge and canceled my card. I feel like card numbers are going to be like passwords, you'll have to replace them every few months.
Pureclean, fraudulent charge out of Korea today on my BofA card. $49.95. Notified by bank of international charge via security message so it got stopped. Still had to get a new card.
Same thing happened to me. Noticed the charge pending, called Wells Fargo to dispute and cancel. I live in Sacramento. How are they getting this info? The last online transaction I did was AT&T the night before. And before that HULU on 8/27, car ins. 8/26.. what do we have in common?
I received the same charge this month from Pureclean for $49.95. Additional scouring of my statement revealed another charge from "8662110533MSTRTRMPR" a couple weeks earlier for the same amount. If you got a charge from either of these, be sure to check for the other.
Same as everyone else, I noticed an unauthorized 49.95 charge plus a 1.49 foreign transaction fee on my Bank of America credit card. I called BOA and the rep I spoke to called the company. The charge is for something called "raspberry ketones" which is some kind of weight loss supplement. Never heard of it until now.
We just noticed a charge also on our bank accountfrom pureclean for $49.95. Will be calling the bank first thing in the morning!
Got a text message alert for an International Charge in the amount of $49.95 from Chase. Used this card recently at Home Depot.
I got hit twice today. One under Pureclean, one under a phone #. Working with my bank now.
Same thing happened to me. I went online to my Chase account and saw the PURECLEAN charge of 49.95. Called my bank and cancelled the account; they refunded the money. However, I am guessing the way it got on there was probably via online shopping. I had bought a few items from "twinkledeals.com" which was shipped from China and am guessing that those individuals either sold or lost my information, which got in the hands of the "Pureclean" people. Please review all purchases made online and see if that could be it.
Same problem, noticed charge from pureclean for 49.95 plus 1.49 foreign transaction fee on my Bank of America VISA. I haven't used this card in a while but probably not a coincidence that the last charge I had on it was from TARGET.
Recently purchased 3 lightweight flyaway cardigans from two different sellers on Amazon.com, and shortly afterwards 2 fraudulent charges appeared on my credit card. Each is for $49.95, and each is for a diet supp., and each seems to be (at least remotely) associated with a S.Korea organization. I reported it to the toll-free numbers assoc w/ those purchases on my statement, AND I reported it to various online companies w/ similar names, AND I reported it to my c-card co. and I canceled the card.
Also received this unauthorized charge today via Chase VISA:
"This charge of ($USD) 49.95 was authorized at PURECLEAN on 09/01/2014 3:10:39 PM EDT."
Card has now been cancelled. Hopefully these folks will be tracked down and at least impeded.
Wow, looks like I'm not the only who's been hit with a $49.95 charge. It first happened to me back in May on my debit card under the name "Alpha female Diet", the bank closed that account # and issued me a new card and #. I recently just got another $49.95 charge on this same account (yes new # and all) under the name "PureClean". I'm wondering how they are getting my account number except maybe the card readers at the Shell gas station have been compromised, since I never had used a card at that station until early this year. Hmmmm, I think I will use cash to get my gas from now on, even if it takes longer because of having to prepay.
Over the past few months I have seen a charge for $49.95 on my visa card. The visa company reversed the charges but the charges continue to appear. I called the phone number associated with the charge and am told it is only a 3rd party and can not cancel the charges. They say they can not find my credit card info (when my husband called they told him they found the info and could only speak with Jane) and asked that I send them a copy of my visa bill which I know not to do. After I became insistent not to get any more charges from Pureclean the person I was speaking to hung up the phone on me.My next call is going to me the my credit card company to get a new credit card number. I am very careful with my credit card and can only imagine that a company I do business with had a data breach.
Unauthorized charged showed up on CapitalOne for $49.95 from PURECLEAN dated 9/3/14. Immediately contacted CO to inquire about it & went through a number of questions. Never heard of PURECLEAN and hadn't even booted up computer at 8 am yet. Have to wait for pending charge to go through before filing fraud report. Noticed another charge earlier in month for same amt $49.95 from jrincsupport.com. goggled both companies neither used. Filed fraud on that one. Check if any of you have purchased from Amazon lately...think might be a link.
I too received a charge 8/27/14 from PURECLEAN 8667328213 in the amount of $49.95 on my credit union debit card. What a pain to have to get new cards....
Same problem here regarding $49.95 charge from PureClean. Called bank an card is cancelled. Annoyed that I cannot dispute the charge while it is still pending!! That's not my issue though. I have never had this kind of problem before, and because I am so careful, it's bugging me how they could have gotten my info. I recently made two charitable contributions using donation sites that I was unfamiliar with. Did anyone else make any contributions??
Same thing as described by Chad and Justin, a $49.95 charge from a company I never heard of, and I live in Florida. Looks like fraud. They must have obtained my credit card info illegally somehow. I think I need to cancel this card--I'm going to check with my credit card company.
$49.95 from PureClean. My little country bank knows me, they were real helpful restoring my money. Then had them cancel card on account. Moved all but $7.00 to a different account. They tried it again, except it was rejected bcuz there was no money, I'll just have to bother with getting the overdraft removed. As smart as they are they should go get a real job.
I also received the PURECLEAN charge of $49.95 on 8/29/14.
Bank of America canceled my card. Pretty sure it's a known issue.
There goes the "bad" Korea again....causing problems.
I also noticed today that my debit card was hit by pureclean for $50.35. About six months ago my husband ordered food from the Jim Bakker Show with his cc and got a fraudulant charge on his card. Then about two months ago I ordered food from Jim Bakker. That same month my cc had fraudulant charges. I call the Bakker group and told them what had happened. Then 2 weeks ago I again ordered food from bakker but sent a personal check. well again my bank acct got hit. If I order food again I will pay with money order. Dont know if anyone else can link their fraud back to anyone place but i think i did. hope this helps someone out there.
Had the same transaction amount, same transaction number, dated 8/31 and processed 9/2. I reported it to Chase immediately. In trying to pinpoint the source, I haven't been to Home Depot. Or if I have, it's been a very long time. I do use this card almost exclusively online and for gas, precisely for this purpose, so I don't know if I can help narrow down where the breach came from.
My Wells Fargo card was charged $49.95 by Pureclean on 9/18. After reviewing all my charges for the last few months I found a charge for $49.95 by Slimdown on 9/10 and another $49.95 by 8885146481.COM on 8/27. I immediately called WF, had my card cancelled, and filed disputes for all three charges. Not sure how my number was obtained since that card is used primarily for business expenses and business travel (and is not used all that often).
I discovered a pending charge for $49.95 by PureClean on my debit card today. Called Regions to start investigation and to get a new card. Could this be related to the news of a security data breach from Home Depot? Already went through this with Target. Ugh!!!
The same thing happens to me. Called my bank. Closed my account. Have to wait till it get posted to my account. It sucks purevlean is thif.
Did any of you have an issue with losing your card recently? Like maybe you left it behind somewhere & they held it for you. You pick it up later (or the next day) and thank them. You didn't cancel the card, but then the charge for PureClean shows up. Anyone?
Just saw a pending charge of $49.95 on my CapitalOne card from PURECLEAN. Called my credit card company to report fraud and cancelled the account.
A charge appeared on my account for 49.95 on September 6, 2014, from Pureclean.
I recieved a $49.95 charge from PURECLEAN as well. Called my bank to dispute and they found another linked charge from jrincsupport from 2 weeks before for the same amount. Beware everyone. they may have hit you before.
An unauthorized charge showed up in my bank statement. The vendor was noted as Pureclean at a charge of $49.95. There was an additional fraudulent charge of $.50 noted as an International Service Fee. Be aware!
Same problem as everyone else.
Pureclean: 49.95 Foreign transaction fee: 1.49
Called Visa and they canceled the card/issued a new one
Exact same thing happened to me on 9/12/14. Watch out for these crooks!
We received three charges from PURECLEAN. It was a dietary supplement that was ordered over two years ago. It did not work. The product was distasteful and did not fulfill it's promises. I called customer service and cancelled all three orders. Now we half to wait for delivery.
Same as everyone, random 49.95 charge to my card last night sometime, tried to buy gas with my last 50$ before payday, could only use 81 cents at the pump, looked up my activity and going to the bank now.
I also noticed an unauthorized charged 49.95 on my statements today and disputing it. They stated it was not a recurring charge and do not need to cancel card but I will check daily to make sure it does not happen again. I am just thankful i check my statements at least two to three times a week.
Looked at my checking account this morning and saw a pending charge for PURECLEAN Payment for 49.95. Knew it wasn't from me. Called Chase and they cancelled my credit card right away.
I had the same charge this morning. The only place I used my card that is out of the ordinarey is Lee Lee asian grocery market here in Arizona. I called Chase and had to get a new card and they are going to research the charge. I am getting a temporary credit. Yeah...
I checked my statement only to find an unauthorized charge for $49.95 again. I have had to call about this same charge at least 4 - 5 times in the last month. This charge has appeared under 888-426-5392.com and Thunderhosts.biz and now under PureClean. They are definitely a fraudulent group trying to dupe people out of their hard earned money. BEWARE of unknown sites advertising a product and asking for your credit card info just to take a look at the product or for a trial.
September 1, 2014 and Pureclean got me from my BofA account as well. Be aware!
Same here. $49.95 from Pureclean. My bank cancelled my card and I have to call tomorrow to reverse it. I wonder what triggered this for everyone?
Pureclean, fraudulent charge out of Korea today on my BofA card. $49.95. Notified by bank of international charge via security message so it got stopped. Still had to get a new card.
Same issue on 9/12/2014. Just finished closing out my card.
I too ordered some items from the Jim Bakker Show, and just like a previous poster (bridgett), I get hit with a fraudulent charge on the same debit card account from Pure Clean.
I am sure the charge hapen because the Credit card stolen. after I use credit card in korean merchant, that charge hapen!
Woke up to a $49.95 charge from Pureclean.... so frustrating. Thanks for all the tips on here!
Fraudulent charge of $49.95 + foreign transaction fee in my Bank of America Credit Card. It appears under the name "PureClean" with phone number 8667328213. When calling this number they refer you to the following website "alphacleansing.com", Then you notice that the website doesn't even have a security certificate, I have never heard of it. I have alerted Bank of America through an escalation line and I will contact the police. If you have questions my email is elviagrita@yahoo.com
Pureclean phone number that works -888-426-5392. I just got off of the phone and received a confirmation number for a refund - we'll see if I get it! At least I have information to dispute the charge. Card has been cancelled.
"PURECLEAN PAYMENT" fraudsters! Unauthorized charge of $49.95 appeared as 'pending' on my bank account on 8/20/14. Never heard of this company before, and it seems like they were trying to set up a scam of collecting monthly fraudulent payments. Luckily, I caught the first one. From what I can tell appears to be a carpet cleaning company in Seattle, Idaho Falls, or North Carolina. Well, I have all tile floors, and live in AZ. Nice try, guys!
Found a charge from "Pureclean" dated 9/19/14 on my Chase card. They hadn't caught it. Nor did they catch the charge that seemed related "8884931366.COM" on 9/1/14. They will be reversing the charges and sending me a new card. I have no idea how this happened.
Same here, $49.95 from Pureclean. Had to have my card cancelled and will get charges reversed once if it no longer a pending charge. Glad I check my account daily and called the bank immediately when I noticed the pending charge.
Also got the PURECLEAN charge ($49.95) on 9/12, as well as an automatically declined charge of $49.95 from something called Garcinia Diet. My bank reversed both of them.
I just noticed the same charge today, Wells was good to immediately refund the money and cancel and reissue the debit card. My coworker indicated that it is always safer to use a credit card for online or restaurant purchases, but did not go into any detail why....does anyone know, should I avoid using my debit card for certain purchases? My bank assures my I'm not liable for the money on my debit card, so I wasn't sure of the reasoning to use the credit card vs debit, any thought?
I called the bank yesterday about a $49.95 posted on 9/1 charge to 888-712-7753.com on my Visa statement and they quested if I had made a charge to "Pure clean" yesterday for 49.95. Two unauthorized charges! Closed the account- it's getting scary.
I too was hit with 2 different charges of $49.95 from a PURECLEAN company on my credit card. I called the number and got a Customer Service company for Pureclean. They had all my info, address, phn number and credit card number. After going on and on with this man with a middle eastern accent and being put on hold he came back and said they would send me 6 bottles of some vitamin supplements. Wtf! I rarely ever use this card. Finally he said they would issue two refunds and gave me conformation numbers for each. I then called my credit card and reported it and they immediately cancelled the card and are sending a new one and opened an investigation. I'm glad I found this site and saw how many people have been scammed from Korea. I hope this all works out.
Just got a call from Old Navy Visa saying they detected fraudulent activity on my account the first four charges were legitimate stuff I charged like from Amazon, but the fifth was from PURECLEAN for $49.95 and I had never heard of them before and didn't make the charge. The bank didn't have a phone number though in my case just a location of Korea. Card cancelled and being reissued, etc. same as others have said. They appear to be on a roll today based on all of the above reports.
Woke up this morning (9/02/14) with a fraud charge on my card for $49.95 from PureClean. I called my bank, Arvest, and the phone number that showed up with the charge was a steel company in Florida. I called them, and the lady had no idea what I was talking about. Had to cancel my card and dispute. So weird!
I also had $49.95 charged on my visa checkcard. Since different banks are used, it's not a breach at the bank. What do we have in common where they got the info - I don't shop at Target. Sounds like it may be a visa problem.
Same issue, Pure Clean $49.95 from Korea.
I woke up to get a text from BofA that they have temporarily restricted the use of my card and to immediately call and verify what's going on. I saw the charge for Pureclean for $49.95 that I didn't authorize and have no clue who Pureclean is. Thankfully my bank reversed the charge from my account. I had to cancel my card and get a new one.
