    What did you card provider say when you asked them?

    The transaction means that someone used a card in whatever country the F/X rate is for a value of 7.99 on the 27 of October and the 27 of September. It doesn't necessarily mean a physical transaction it could be online. If it appears every month is a subscription to something. If it is in pounds it might be something you have bought in Amazon.co.uk.

    Ask the bank to see if they can give you any details and see if you can stop it. Lots of scammers use that technique but it doesn't necessarily mean it is. It might be something you subscribed and forgot about it.

    7.99 sounds like the monthly amazon prime subscription.
