I bought a pair of jeans in a store on Friday. The money left my account and everything was fine. Then today I get a random charge for the exact same amount from the same store. (My bank gives real-time spending notifications through an app, so I can see every charge as soon as it's made.)
I'm waiting to hear back from my bank and will call the store if they can't help. I'm sure I'll get the money back as a mistake was obviously made, but I can't help but wonder how this could happen. How can the store charge my card remotely for the same transaction a few days later? Kinda makes me worry about security.
Does anyone have any insight?
Btw, this happened in the Netherlands and I have a UK bank account.
