Actually if this was true it is not innocent; it is deliberately trying to get around a dispute/stop payment. I've gone though this before so know first hand that this is the way processors try to get around stop payments/charge backs. Since all transactions are now automated if I asked my bank to enter a charge back on $39.99 that is what they enter into the computer, so when two charges for 30.00 and 9.00 comes through it would not get flagged. The charges would post and then the bank would have to handle each charge back manually. They would then more than likely cancel your card and issue a new one while investigating the charges.
