Scam contentsHello!
On 7th May I purchased a week only membership of €85 for a dating website (out of genuine interest).
I wanted to make sure that the payment would not reoccur.
I asked the ADMIN (through their online chat service), “Will I be charged automatically again after the week has expired? I want to be completely clear about this”
ADMIN replied “The subscription is not renewed’’

One week later on 14th May my card was charged again for another €85 which was completely unauthorized! (this would have made my subscription active again)

The next day, on 15th May my card was charged €425 for something??? which was again completely unauthorized!
Fortunately by chance, on the 15th I happened to see this. I was shocked and immediately blocked my card.

On 16th May there was an attempt to take another €425 from my card, which fortunately was declined.

On the same day 16th May there was another attempt to take money from my card, this time €255, which fortunately was also declined.

I have tried 3 times now to contact the website through their online contact form to notify them of these charges and to ask for a refund. I have also made attempts to contact the ADMIN through their online chat service. I can see when they go online.
However, I have had absolutely no replies from them whatsoever and 2 weeks have passed!

They took €510 of my money!

I have contacted my bank (WISE) but they say that they cannot confirm that the charges are unauthorised, and they cannot confirm that the website: https://www.artofdsgn.com/ is fraudulent.
They have told me to make contact with the merchant.
And this has proven impossible!

How disappointing and an expensive exercise!!

I cannot determine if this website is a reputable company of not?
You cannot do a Google search on them to find out more information?
You just get taken straight to their website?

Can you please advise what can I do about this matter?

Can I take this matter further?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
