Bank statement - porn transaction?

Posting here for traffic....

‘Online account’ has appeared on my shared bank account. I can’t find out who the merchant is from my bank. Has anyone had the same and do you know who it was?

My monzo card comes up as online account… it’s not porn

Alfiemoon1 · 30/07/2021 11:41

Can’t you ring your bank they should be able to tell you who it’s been paid to. Is there a back story as to why you automatically think it’s porn

Can't wait for the backstory hereConfused

BarefootHippieChick · 30/07/2021 11:47

You obviously don't trust whoever you share the bank account with if you can't just ask them

iklboo · 30/07/2021 11:52

Online account could be anything. Unless he has a history of this why jump to the immediate conclusion it's porn? Why can't you find out from the bank what the transaction is?

mug2018 · 30/07/2021 11:59

If you contact the bank they will tell you who or what the merchant category is that the payment was made to.

It could be fraudulent so check for that first.

Our ice cream van comes up with 'Mrs Whippy' on the statement. Cheap though...

KittenKong · 30/07/2021 12:23

I assume there’s a reason you automatically thought ‘porn’!

Ice cream vans take cards now?!

Our cider making kit is from Bigger Jugs.

Sounds like a porn site about sex in planes to me 😉

Placemarking for the back story Smile

Onlyfans shows as Onlyfans on transactions.

I know this because my card was cloned and used on their website.

Aimee1987 · 30/07/2021 12:49

My vote is for a drip feed. Husband has a sex / porn addiction?

thedancingbear · 30/07/2021 12:51

are you sure you don't want this deleting, OP? Some of the information is quite outing.

ApolloandDaphne · 30/07/2021 12:53

How about asking the person you share the account with?

Howshouldibehave · 30/07/2021 12:54

Cancel the cheque and log it with the police.

Was it straightforward to report the cloned card and deal with any aftermath? (I live in dread of having to sort this for family members.)

When I went to the US a few years ago, homeless people had their own card reader machines to take card payments so I’m not really surprised any more when places I don’t expect to take cards do.

Wingingit573 · 30/07/2021 13:17

Is there a backstory here? If I saw that I wouldn't immediately assume it was porn? Hmm

Mainly cause I know my partner is too tight to pay for it 😂
