Just recv’d a charge from Decoration Art LLC in FL. for $1.60. With all the correct info on my card. I did donate to a Breast Cancer site today along with buying a scrapbook program. I will be emailing them both.
I to just recived a fraud charge from Deco Art for $4.60 and I am disuputing it. Thanks to a google search i found these posts which helped me identify this has happened to others. Thanks everyone.
I guess this “Decoration Art LLC 904-2635578 FL” is getting more bold than ever! I just checked my bank statement online (I check it every day), and a charge dated today (10/29/10) for $7.60 is currently showing as pending to my debit card. I will be heading to my bank right away to have them remove the charge and issue me a new card.
My bank just called me to verify some charges for fraud. Lo and behold one of the charges was a $7.60 charge from Decoration Art LLC. My card has been cancelled and a new one will be issued. I have no idea how they got my info. I’m glad I googled them and found these posts. I kept thinking I must have ordered something and just forgot.
just saw a $7.60 charge on my paypal debit card. New this was not a charge of mine…so how do they get our numbers? I now have to notify paypal to cancel and issue me a new card
I just got hit with a $4.65 charge from Decoration Art LLC. in Florida. I had my cc cancelled.
We got hit with a charge of $4.60 From Decoration Art LLC. With the phone #904-693-2471… Not happy, at all!
Noticed a charge for 8.04 from http://www.thedigistar.com
Never purchased anything from this site. Filed a fraud claim with our bank and they removed the charges, hopefully it won’t happen again. It flagged our account and our card was locked…
I watch my bank accounts fairly closely. I found a charge from Decoration Art LLC for $4.60. I see on this website that I am not alone, that they are hitting a lot of people. For them, every little charge will add up to a nice income, even though they don’t supply a service or a product.
I called their number, listed as a Florida number, and got a machine. The voice on the machine was a female trying her hardest to speak clear English, and with an accent that sounds South Asian, perhaps Filipino. No messages can be left on the machine. I imagine this phone never gets answered and that no one really works for Decoration Art LLC.
I always check my account to make sure all my bills are paid. I noticed a charge from Decoration Art LLC of $1.60 was made to my account this week. The phone number 904-693-2471 listed on my statement is not in sevice. The other number I was given by my bank was 904-263-5578. I called and they are not opened on the weekend. I could not understand the woman on the prerecorded message.
There is a charge for $8.55 from http://www.thedigistar.com on my bank statement. I called the contact number and it is a recording asking you to email them. I emailed and they responded at 3am asking for my credit card information. I responded back asking for details of the transaction to include the prduct and shipping inforamtion. They won’t respond.
I also got hit with a small ($9.96) charge on my credit card from http://www.thedigistar.com. Like the others I found only a recording at the customer service number. My credit card company is reversing the charges.
Charged $4.60 by Decoration Art LLC to my Visa Debit Card on 11/7/2010 via a POS withdrawal. Their number DECORATION ART LL 904-693-2471 FLUS is disconnected.
Disputed charge with bank and canceled my bank card.
I found a charge for $1.60 today also on my bank statement as a debit- I don’t use PayPal or any facebook games. Have to sit on hold forever with my bank and cancel my debit card because of some piece of —-!
THEY ARE STILL TRYING!!!
Got what looks like the higher charge from Decoration Art, LLC at $7.60. Called the credit union, been through this before so I know I am fine, but have to go through the same motions cancel card, etc.
An earlier post put up the yellow pages for Michael Lee at the same address that is shown on their company profile (1178 Alta Vista St Jacksonville, FL 32205) on this website:
http://www.corporationwiki.com/Florida/Jacksonville/decoration-art-llc/36236195.aspx
Yes, the number on my statement is still disconnected, but I tried to call Michael on his phone number listed in the yellow pages. It is a legit line and I left a brief message for him to give me a call and I will keep trying until I reach him directly.
There are about 54 of these posts for the Decor Art company ripoffs and the average is $4.60. They are sitting with a minimum of $250 of money they did nothing to earn. Pathetic if you ask me.
Will post more info if I get through to him…Has anyone actually talked to him? On the company profile it says he has incorporated the company in March of this year.
Wrote a nice long post and it is not showing for some reason. Gee thanks!
I have tried to call Michael Lee twice and still no answer. The second time I tried to call I acted like I knew him and said:
“Hey Mike this is Chris…S–t is hitting the fan man. I need you to call me back asap so that we can figure things out….Call me back (left cell number).
I feel a little concerned giving out my phone number, but he can’t do anything. Will keep posting results if any…
The reason it didn’t show up is because I screen the posts before they show up. Some people just aren’t appropriate… Your post was great!
I also was hit with a $4.60 charge from Decoration Art, LLC. Called my bank to dispute it. I told him I was looking at postings online that confirmed it was fraudulent but he didn’t seem to care about the information I was sharing. He said they would let me know if I needed a new card. Wonder how long Decoration Art will get away with this!
Just got charged 4.60 from Decoration Art, LLC with a FL # 904-693-2471 disconnected. Since it is Veterans Day bank is closed. Have 3 cards on account now have to cancel all unless bank can give me the # charged. Will be filing with bank and fraud complaint center. Bank is good about refunding money. Good luck to u all and keep an eye on your accounts.
I also got a charge from Decoration Art LLC, in the amount of $7.60 on my check card. The bank gave me a number of 904-263-5578. I called and all you can do is leave a message. Reported it to my bank and cancelled my card.
I too just discovered a charge from Decoration Art LLC on my debit card, with the same Florida number that others have listed. Can’t believe nothing can be done about this with all these complaints that others have already had. Filed a fraud complaint and cancelled my card. Hope they get these thieves!
$4.60 charge showed up on my debit card this morning from 5734 DECORATION ART, FL 904-693-2471 DECORATION ART LLCUS. I have no clue what this company is, and I have not purchased anything from them. I will allert my bank and get a new card.
I just checked my statement and found a charge for $7.60 from Decoration Art LLC, Florida. I made no purchase from this site and have called and cancelled my debit card. My email was hacked about a week ago and my facebook account I believe was compromised as well. I wonder if that has anything to do with this. Worhtless people need to get a job and stop stealing from hard working people.
I also discovered a charge from Decoration Art LLC on my debit card. Called the bank and cancelled my card. This is so frustrating!!!
I found this website because I saw a purchase on my bank statement that I didn’t recognize. Googled the information and found you guys. The company that got my information is the same one that has recently been getting others, the Decoration Art LLC 904-2635578 FL. That phone number is not disconnected yet, but you only get a recording of some foreign lady that I can’t understand rambling off an email address. The amount was only 4.60, but I called the bank and had my card closed because who knows what else would be charged! What sucks is that I have to pay 10.00 to get a new card for something that wasn’t even my fault!
Oh, I meant to post this in the first one and forgot. The only place that I do online shopping is Amazon.com. I’ve sent them an email regarding it and am waiting a response to see if they have gotten any other emails regarding it.
I was charged $4.60 from Decoration Art LLC….Can’t believe how many people are getting charges from these idiots!!! Had card cancelled the bank is refunding my money!!
My bank debit card was recently hit for $4.60- not much but a nuisance now that I can’t get a new debit card for 2 weeks! And I have to go through a huge filing system to get my money back!
The charges were from “Decoration Art, LLC” – tried calling the number and of course, no one is able to speak to me, I have to contact them by email- right like I am going to do that!
I was just charged Decoration Art LLC got me too!!!! Got my bank Visa card for $4.60. Cancelling it now! JERKS!!!!!
Decoration Art LLC FL got me too on 11-15-2010 for $1.60 charge on my pay pal account. The last time I used pay pal was for Itunes. I am disputing the charge through paypal now trying to get my money back.
No matter how small the charge is everyone please speak up. Its our money we work hard for and the last thing we need is thieves taking our hard earned money from us. We earned not them.
Wife’s debit was hit by thedigistar.com on 11/15/10 for $8.12. I also tried calling and only got through to voicemail. Wife is on the phone with the bank right now reversing the charges and getting a new debit card. What a PITA.
I also had a charge of $4.60 to my account from Decorator Art LLC at 904-693-2471 on 11-15-2010.
There are maybe 3 online retailers I buy from, so I can’t figure out how they were able to do this. I’m really steamed over it!
I got hit with $4.60 phone # 904-693-2471 on 11-19-2010. I am cancelling my debit card and getting a new one. Interesting how they are using small random amounts hoping we aren’t checking.
Decorator Art LLC has now disconnected the phone number listed on the bank statement! Got hit for $4.60 and have to cancel my card just before black Friday! Sucks!
The Decoration Art scam got me for $1.60 on Wednesday…not sure how they got my info, but I’ve notified my bank and the Internet Crimes folks – gave them both a link to this website so that they can see how many people are being scammed!
We also got hit with a fraud charge for decoration art llc for $4.60. The really unfortunate thing for us is that this is a Girl Scout account. We are so lucky it wasn’t for more. We opperate purely on the money we raise to be able to provide our girls with activities. We are filing a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
http://www.ic3.gov/.
Also don’t forget you can file a complaint with the BBB. http://jacksonville.app.bbb.org/commonreport.html?compid=004452798 They have 5 complaints since september.
I can’t believe he has gotten so many people.
I got hit with the charge of $4.60, not sure how they got my info. Neverr been on their website. Lucky for me I check my charges all the time. Canceled my cards!
Count me among the thousands of people who have been charged $4.60 from Decoration Art LLC. I wasted quite a few brain cells trying to figure out what in the world I could have bought from them. I usually don’t charge such a small amount so it caught my eye right away. Will follow suit and call bank and cancel card. What a way to welcome in the holiday season!
Just checked my new bank statement and I also been hit by Decoration Art for $4.60. Have canceled my card and reported this scam.
Just discovered a $1.60 charge on my bank statement from Decoration Art LLC with the same Florida phone number as above. On my way to speak to the bank, now. Googled the phone number to find out what the heck was on my account for $1.60 and found this site right away -saved me having to search since this is obviously illegal fraudulent charges…
There has been some mention of websites that may have had their credit card databases compromised. It would be impossible to tell in this type of forum if it was a very large website, since so many people use those big websites. In my past investigation, I got reports of charges on cards that were never even activated!
Just checked my bank account and saw 2 fraudulent charges. One for Total Gym Fitness 888-811-9740 in PA for $49.95, and another one from IVP Ideal Village 800-765-2994 for $79.92. I called my bank and cancelled the card. The bank said these purchases were done online. I haven’t used that bank card to make purchases online ever. I tried calling both phone numbers and they are currently closed, they are only open from 9 to 5. God only knows how they got a hold of the bank card number.
Just got a charge for $4.60 on my bank account from Decoration Art, LLC. Called my bank and they confirmed the fraud. It is just so upsetting that they have been doing this for so long and have not gotten caught. Had to cancel my card.
Just got charged $4.60 by Decoration Art, LLC. The charge is still pending, so my bank won’t do anything about it. I have to figure out which card it was, but luckily, it’s an old account and not the one tied to all our money. I have dealt with this stuff before, and First National Bank Texas will likely do absolutely nothing about it. They didn’t when we were charged $100 fraudulently.
Just got hit for $4.60 from Decoration Art. It is hard to believe this “company” can keep doing this. Now I have to cancel my card and get a new one. This is also my bank account so I have to notify the legitimate companies that do business with. What a pain.
I have a charge on my credit card for $4.60 from Decoration Art, LLC that I never made. Their phone number is not in service 904 693-2471. Now I had to cancel my card! They credited the amount, but the point is these criminals are still out there! Read your statements always and verify charges.
I was also hit with a charge from Decoration Art LLC for $7.60. Not a large amount but it bothers me that they have my information. Have called bank and cancelled cards.
I just want everyone to be aware not to use Dedicated Hosting. They charged my card for $109 and never gave us a server. We disputed the charge with Chase Bank who was no help. We now going to after them in Court and sue them.At this point it is not the money but the fact they ripped us off
$1.60 charge from Decoration Art, LLC. Now I’ll have to cancel my card which will make it tough to pay my bills, etc. for a while. I applied for a payday loan several months ago that I never went through with – I think this is a result of that. I’ve also gotten phone calls recently to the phone number that was on the payday loan application that sound like fraud to me. I can’t believe I wasn’t more careful with my personal information.
I wouldn’t blame it on the payday lender. In my previous fraud in 2005, folks that never even activated their credit card had charges. You never know how the bad guys get them!
