Unrecognised transaction

I have a debit card transaction for £5.99 that I don’t recognise. It says it’s Herbalallti. 
Can’t find that name on the internet. I’m going to ring the bank but don’t want to look like an idiot if it’s something I’ve done. Any ideas?

    Be careful - the "website" link on google maps goes to a malware site.

    Also suggests a link - did you buy anything on there?

  • I have also had this. It was on my credit card which I haven't used anywhere like this and the dates this month where on 29th and 30th Sept when I haven't used my card at all on these dates. when I checked my accounts I had similar amounts (£3.99, £4.99) coming out my amount under title 'order' since April. I called my bank and have registered it as fraudulent as this is not me. They cancelled my card and refunded me the money. It seems this is a scam,they must have 1000s of people getting £5.99 a month from. 
  •  :'( I have had the same happen in the last few days, transaction for £5.99 has gone out of my account under Herbalallti... 

    @robatwork has posted is the culprit - I tried to order something from them a while back, I mean MONTHS ago - and I received email to say it was out of stock and my transaction had been cancelled. Hadn't heard anything since so obvs had no need to worry until my bank showing this transaction.....

    Now whether they have been hacked or they are a scam themselves is another question, but regardless they're accountable - on the phone to my bank as I type!

    I've just had the exact same thing on my bank account for £5.99
  • Have contacted my bank who are opening fraud case as payment taken without permission, and done all the necessary with my cards/account etc. 

    Just done some digging around on companies house etc. and I'm even more convinced this is some sort of scam :s  ...

    • Checked whether 'Daily Chemist Ltd' is registered on CH - it is, but to a different address in Newbury, RG20 4SW
    • The unit in Bracknell, RG12 1RL that 'Daily Chemist Ltd' allegedly operate from and provide as their contact address is home to a different company - 'Dr Rani Ltd' 
    • The previous address for 'Dr Rani Ltd' is the same one that 'Daily Chemist Ltd' is registered to now in Newbury, RG20 4SW
    • 'Daily Chemist Ltd' accounts and filing history make for interesting reading with accounts overdue and numerous compulsory strike off notices... 
    • There is another business that allegedly operated out of the Bracknell address; 'Evercaring Pharmacy'- distance selling pharmacy, other than a job advert for a pharmacist a couple of years ago...zero records on this
    Sorry if that's hard to follow but things like this drive me crazy! 


  • Do you all use the same bank? Going to look at mine now  :|
