NYX Tesco £1 payments from my bank account

Anyone else seen this recently?
Just noticed an NYX Tesco payment of £1.00 twice when I shopped and filled up with fuel at the superstore and garage four days ago but not when I shopped at the Tesco Express near home.  Both times I paid using my iPhone.
I've looked back to last month, and NYX Tesco does not occur.

NEITHER THE BANKS NOR MICROSOFT ARE ON YOUR SIDE!! ;)

    When NYX has been mentioned before it was found to be payments using a vending machine,

  • I've had multiple Nyx billings going on in my current acc., which began last year. My debit card was replaced twice to no avail (replaced because the billings tell the bank that my card was scanned each time). Using RFID cards to protect me from unlawful scanning did not help. I have opted now to use a third debit card which has no contactless feature... Logically, that should stop the Nyx people.
    See my facebook poster pasted below, and there is another post on my timeline beforehand:

    Following up on the fraudulent debits in my current account.....
    Make sure you get a debit card without the contactless payment feature. These Nyx people seem to use contactless scanning to place charges of £1 and £4.50 on me whenever I go to Sainsbury's. It's still not solved. (I'd begun to use my old Nationwide account again while waiting for a third new Halifax debit card, and was happy until I shopped in Sainsbury's three days ago. On the same day, a charge of £1 and a separate one of £4.50 was billed by Nyx Willings Services, as had happened for months on my Halifax account: £101 taken in all.)

    p.s. It will be suggested that you used the debit card on a vending machine or tyre pressure pump, but I avoid them religiously and never use Sainsbury's car park.
