If you don't recognize it, first check whether someone who shares your card made the purchase, then contact DB Vertrieb directly before disputing the charge with your bank.
We've routed your request to DB Vertrieb GmbH for review. You'll be notified at the contact on file once it's processed — usually before it ever becomes a dispute.
