I noticed a POS charge on my bank statement from: BARTECLA LLC POS LAKE SUCCESS NY for $8.72. I've never heard of this organization, nor have I ever been to Lake Success, NY. Searching on Google, Yahoo, and Bing reveal nothing about this company. Filing a dispute with my bank.

This just showed up in my bank account too. They deposited $.28 and reversed it. I think they are checking accounts now.. BEWARE!

Just got hit with this for $0.25 and it cost me $16 to get new cards overnight. The banks have to know where this money goes. There has to be a trail somewhere. The banks find it's easier to just cancel and issue new cards than to do the research and file fraud charges against them. A class action suit would be nice if there are any lawyers reading this.

I also got hit with a $0.25 charge today, 12-14-09. My bank said it happened @ 11:06 am. Second time this year. Just got new cards back in Feb. I hope this does not turn into a habit. It costs me $16 to get new cards sent overnight so I can have them tomorrow. It's cheaper for the banks to refund then to research the issue. Would like to start a class action law suit against this company. The banks have to know where the money is going. How else can they finish the transaction and transfer the money?

This charge for $8.73 was just on my recent statement. I called my credit card company and the vendor was listed as "Stationary/Paper Goods". I had to cancel the card, do a bunch of paperwork, and then set up a new online profile. A bummer is the web sites that are legit and that have this card number on file. Have to update those too. These are bad guys. Be careful.

I just want to say thank you to all those who have made comments regarding this situation in the past b/c it happened to me yesterday and I too am wondering how we are all connected to this unknown company in NY!? I too had to cancel my card, but thanks to all of you it made me follow thru with my fraud complaint rather than brushing it off to a holiday purchase I may had forgotten! My charge was $9.36 - so random and yes they must be making a killing keeping it small but questionable! UGH

I am MAD as heck! Charge of $9.72, caught this yesterday checking my prepaid transaction history. This card was very rarely used, last transaction was at a fabric store and I'm VERY suspicious that this is where my card was compromised. Have had to cancel this card and now wait for another in the mail. What if anything can we do to this fraudulent company thinking they have the right to take our hard earned money? Reminds me of a person in Miami who dibbed little here and a little here from people and the little adds up. I've been trying to dig and thought I located these thieves @ 425 Madison Ave. in NY NY. Cannot get a phone number and MetroBot comes back with an error on the exact address. Has anyone contacted the Nassau County DA?

I was just charged $9.27 dollars on my account from whatever bogus company this is. I only have one check card to my name, no other cards. Now I'm going to have to cancel my card and go without until the new one arrives. They must be making a killing.

I have an $8.73 charge on my checking account today that I didn't make. I don't live near or frequent New York. Had to cancel my card. Good thing I check my account everyday for just such purposes. Guess they are smart enough to only charge small amounts that most people wouldn't even notice. I did.

I have a charge for $8.67 from this mysterious organization. I never authorized this and it's obvious that someone that I gave my credit card number to on the phone has fraudulently used it. Has anyone here signed up with Lynda.com and seen this charge appear shortly thereafter. It is so dangerous to give out your number on the phone to a total stranger no matter how trusted the website is. I will have to report this to my bank and cancel my card. Such a pain, but the next time these ### pull something like this, it could be for 867.00.

What a pain in the neck! Lesson to be learned: don't give your credit card number out over the telephone.

This happened to me as well. $9.31. My bank refunded the money, but I am sure they are just "eating" the cost. These frauds are hurting more than they people they skim from, but our banks too.

Just had a charge for 8.72 from this company on my card as well, just posted today on my card. Don't want to cancel my card either but I have disputed it with my card company. It's crazy that somehow this fraudulent company has access to so many of our's credit card information. Something certainly needs to be done about this. I'm glad I was able to find this page when I googled the company. I hope someone will be able to find these people.

Mine showed up on my card for Oct. 19, 2009 TWICE ($9.02). I've been with my credit card company for 19 years, so did not want to cancel. Credit card company will credit them next month. BARTECLA LLC had a telephone number with an answering machine, and I could not find the company at the website listed. Very happy to find all of these complaints on line!

I had a simlar mysterious charge for $9.43 dated 10/1/09. I had my credit card company remove it. I think I agree that someone is hoping no one will notice.

I just returned from vacation and this mysterious charge from BARTECLA LLC in the amount of $9.68... cancel your credit card and dispute this charge... call the Nassau county district attorneys office and maybe they can go after this company!

I had a phone number show up on my statement for this fraudulent company, but it was a non-working number. I think this company hopes that since the charges are so small, no one will notice it on their statements.
