I found an unauthorized charge for $14.95 from "Kurtz Enterprises" on my debit card recently, and a quick Google search turned up a number of similar reports. I called my bank; they provisionally refunded the charge, suggested I get a new card (which I did), and said they'd investigate the charge, which could take until November.
However, I got a letter after only a couple of days, saying that they'd concluded their investigation, and that the charge was in fact definitely refunded. Since the investigation was so quick, I wonder if they're familiar with this scam.
If this really is the result of a stolen database, there are a limited number of possibilities... Probably only around a dozen companies would ever have had my card number.
