My credit card charged me for “エﾂグ “ but I don’t know what it is

1. People weren’t joking about the inflation on eggs.

2. “Egg”?!

   Hmm, any more details of when the transaction happened? If it was during the night Japan time or a time of day when you’d not usually use your card, it could be fraudulent.

   If there’s a 株式会社 or similar in the name, you could Google it to see if it’s affiliated with a company you’ve recently purchased from.

3. Update: they are telling me “決済の会社だそうです” – this translates to a settlement company? What the hell is a settlement company?

5. Check the date on the statement and try to list up all the things you did on the day

6. 5000 is a very precise number, which makes it a bit odd if you don’t remember spending it.

   I know that scammers back in my native country tend to first charge/withdraw a relatively small amount of money from a card they’ve stolen/gotten the info on, as to check if the owner notices or not, before they go for the big bucks. Likely the same everywhere.
   Would definitely suggest getting the card closed if you really don’t remember paying 5000 for anything recently.

7. I think it’s either a fashion magazine or a Tenga

8. I know a restaurant in Aichi by that name.

9. Did you Furusato Nozei ¥5000?

10. ​

    I had a charge like this on my credit card once from a Taxi company.

11. If you have no idea, dispute the charge as fraudulent and move on

12. Seggs

13. There’s a girl’s bar in Shinkjuku called エッグ. I bet they charge 5000 yen an hour.

14. A basic google search tells me エッグ株式会社 is either a software company in Osaka or a Furusato Nouzei transaction company in Tottori – did you sign up for furusato nouzei?

15. take the 5000 yen as a lesson on not getting so wasted.. you could have lost all your money to a ho before this lesson

16. You misspelled エッチ and shame on you

17. 5000 yen is a pretty cheap lesson learned – don’t get so wasted you don’t know what the hell you’re doing.

18. 5000 yen for a blackout is really cheap. Take the L and consider yourself lucky it wasn’t ten times that.

19. Girls bar. After remembering it you added the “Update: I forgot everything”
