Can anyone ID this, maybe I was scammed?

Hi all,
I opened my online bank account (as in real world bank) this morning to discover my account has been cleaned out overnight, as in stolen. One of the mystery withdrawls came from a website called MyMovies, located in Denmark I think. I've never heard of them, and I've never yet made a transaction in euros.
I'm asking here if anyone recognizes this name from any WSO purchases they may have made here in the last 2 weeks. I've made a couple of purchases, and sometimes the sellers will ID their transaction with a name not prominent on their material or site, but this one isn't familiar but I thought I'd double check here in case it is name familiar to someone. It is always possible this is a legit transaction and I just don't remember it, although I can find no records of it anywhere, no do I know the company by name.
thanks for looking this over, BR

    I think you might have better luck working with Paypal to get your money back, assuming this is a paypal account.

    There is a site called MyMovies in denmark
    My Movies - Home

    You need to contact your bank. We can't help you with this.

      I think that is an enlightening piece of the puzzle.

    Did you used the shared computer for the last transaction?

    I just love Jill....she always seems to read my mind!

    You might want to check if you in fact made a purchase you forgot about BEFORE you start looking for help to resolve this issue.

      There are 2 types of people in this world....those who get it and those who don't. The ones that get it know exactly what we are talking about. The ones who don't are left scratching their heads.

    Thanks for all the comments, always appreciated.
    I've been in contact with the firm in Denmark who have reported that they are having a wave of complaints similar to mine in that someone is using their name in fraudulent transactions/stealing money from accounts, using stolen card numbers.
    As Ebony66 pointed out my bank is being supportive and will probably resolve the missing money in a month or two.
    A friend has pointed out that these days its wise to use a card just for internet work and keep a low balance on it, good advice I think.
    Thanks to all.
