Strange Bank Charge to CC - Page 2

**cybernorris** · 08-10-2009, 10:14 AM

Challenge the charge via the bank... they will investigate... and should send you a new card.

A typical behavior with a stolen CC number is to make a small charge to test, then proceed to bigger charges if unchallenged.

That card should have been shutdown by the bank...first and foremost. Doesn't matter about pending charges, they still can be shutdown.

Yeah, I didn't shut it down this morning bc I was still trying to figure out if the first instance was a legit charge I'd made. This 2nd was is definately not mine, so the card is now shut down.

I tried calling the number on the website, mailbox is full. I'll try the admin number above.

EDIT: Well the above number is the Domains by Proxy, Inc numbers. Not a customer of theirs so they won't help me. I'll just let the bank figure the crap out

DPOCO, LLC is a registered limited liability company in TN. The Secretary of State has corporate data that is public information. It can be found here:

Business Information Search

Here is the info for DPO LLC:

Name I.D. Number
DPOCO, LLC 0594021

Business Type*: LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
Profit/Nonprofit: FOR PROFIT
Status*: ACTIVE
Date of Formation/Qualification: 01/13/2009
Domestic/Foreign: DOMESTIC
Place of Incorporation/Organization: HAMILTON
Duration: PERPETUAL
FYC(Fiscal Year Closing) Month: DECEMBER

Principal Office:
Address Line 1: 4704 TRICIA DRIVE
Address Line 2:
City: CHATTANOOGA
State: TN
Zip: 37416
Other than USA:

Registered Agent:
Name: DAVID THOMPSON
Address Line 1: 4704 TRICIA DRIVE
Address Line 2:

Registered agent is sometimes the owner, not always. Could be a corporate proxy service anywhere, there is a large one in Knoxville. In this case, since it's a local TN address, and same address as the company, I'm betting it's the owner.

Their phone number is on their website. Why not call? It appears they aren't the culprits, but rather some "entrepreneur" has "accidentally" used your card to retain their services. Perhaps they can lead you to who used it. Their phone doesn't appear at a glance to be a landline, might be a cell or VOIP, not that it matters.

Not to hash up a dead thread but I had the same charge for roughly 7 dollars on one card on the 15th of August and 12 dollars on another card of mine also on the 15th.

Odd thing is these two cards are used by me for business purposes only. I've obviously charged alot of things with them but I bet I could find a pattern of two places I've used both cards in the last year or so. If you're interested in seeing if any match where you've used yours let me know and I'll whip up a list.

Fyi, I'm in IT. So I purchase alot of tech goods.

Domains by Proxy is a private registration service owned by GoDaddy out in Arizona. So, that basically could be anyone, anywhere who is willing to pay about $10 a year to keep their name off their domain registration.
