Everybody was saying vending machine so I was worried because I haven't used a vending machine lately! But somebody said car wash then I remembered I spent 12.50 at a self serve car wash/dog wash.
Was puzzled too but I believe Mine was recycling bags in shopping centre Tweed Mall NSW. Charged an extra 30c for using the vending machine but the only way you can purchase bags
Cigarette machine at Jade Budda Brisbane
Gym vending machine. I don't usually use it, but they have a new protein shake I hadn't heard of and decided to try it on that particular day. The once-off payment threw me for a second, especially considering I've been a victim in the past of the "minimal pay probe, then lump sum withdraw" overseas, but this turned out to be legit.
Car wash DONVALE
pretty sure this is Greenwood Car Wash West Aust as they have recently changed the way you have to pay at the carwash
Car wash in Wagga Wagga!
It was the vending machine at local shopping centre (Tweed Mall) selling eco bags for vege scrap bin (recycle) - hurray finally found these bags ! The vending machine accepts card only, but doesn't print a receipt, best write your purchase down asap so you don't forget..
Vending Machine at Coffs Harbour Base Hospital
Wash & Go Palmerston NT
Car Wash - BP Corner of Waverley and Huntingdale rd
Circumtec supplies hardware and its software to vending, car wash and dog wash operators. It's a payment processor for them so customers can pay by card. Your bank statement will not display the name of the owner of the machine/service you used ... only the name of the payment gateway used. That's why you see Circumtec on your statement.
Looks like a fraudulent transaction as I have not used any of the devices that would use Circumtec
Ah thanks to the comments here. Worked out its a cigarette vending machine in Fitzroy Vic
Automatic car wash - Patterson Rd Bentleigh
Scam. I don't use vending machines, car washes or dog services.
Car wash at Brisbane Airport. Definitely legit.
This is a hidden charge that I would think is illegal if it is not displayed on the vending machine. Circumtec why are you hiding this fee??

Car wash vending machine in Duncraig. Fee was $14.00 but extra 50 cents added onto Visa statement
I was charged $2 x 4 and I never used a vending machine or car wash. I had used my visa card 4 times that day at Zaraffas, Woolworths, another cafe and a gift shop. This company is ripping people off….I am cancelling my card.

Charded for Massage Chair at Epping Plaza, was wondering why this was showing up as Mentone !!
Car wash, Mackay. The thing is, such businesses claim to be local (merely by their local presence). The same thing happens with Yarra Trail, Woolovers etc. We pay then find out after the event that we've been hit with international fees (without our consent). WE'VE BEEN DUPED. WE ARE BEING DUPED. Businesses in Australia need to make it very clear that their payment system is set up in another country and consumers will automatically be hit with an international transaction fee. We budget for our spending. They trick us. It is trickery. 'False and misleading advertising'by omission. Class action sounds like the right way to go. Why is the Australian Government doing anything? They tore shreds iff our banks but are allowing Corporstions and big businesses to 'launder' money through seemingly legitimate ways, accessing our money without our knowledge or consent. It's form of rape. Certainly not good.
Change.Org Change.Org does the same. They solicit 'donations' in the name of helping others but the money doesnt go to others. It goes to Change.org. On top of which, after a person donates, they are hit with an international fee same as this car wash business. We find out later. It's a rort. Why is the Australian Government allowing it? I regret voting Scomo in. Won't happen again. His Christianity like Falou's is a sham. It's business. No good going to Labour either. They're in bed with Change.Org and others who are milking us and laundering via such fees that 'appear to be' legal but are not. Absolute trickery. Duped again. Do we look that stupid?

Thanks everyone, this was doing my head in! But then I saw Car Washes popping up and remembered that I went through the drive through car wash in Doncaster and tapped my card. Is not a scam!
Vending machine, completely legit
Seaford hand car wash SA
I know it's a car wash, the issue is they are charging 50 cents more than my receipts states. I know this is only a small amount but its certainly not legal. Giving me a receipt that says it charged me 16 dollars then my bank account is charged $16.50 is dodgy.
