Same.  $11.89 charged to my credit card by Palacian Technology.com on 21 May 2008.    Phone (309) 740-0437.  Called this number to find out what this charge was for and only get the message "all operators busy, send E-Mail to support@palaciantechnology.com";  pressing 0 also would not bring anyone on line.  My credit card company was happy to take my information, refund the $11.89 and says they will contact the company to determine if it was a valid charge.  My guess is they don't take it any further for $11.89, and this apparent scan is a gold-mine for which nobody is able or really interested in investigating.

"Palacian" and "Ronz" appear to be part of the same criminal enterprise as "ULC" and "crystalcleardesigns".  "Ronz", "Palacian", and "crystalcleardesign" have all been reported to make fraudulent charges for $11.89.

They appear to have access to a large number of stolen credit card numbers,  or they may be able to verify the validity of randomly generated card numbers and expiration dates.

They then run through small fraudulent charges against these cards, depending on enough people missing the small charges, or on many banks not bothering to reverse the charge or investigate the fraud.  They solicit dupes in this country to set up "internet businesses" with bank accounts that they can use to process the charges.  They then use a large number of these front "businesses" to convert the card numbers into cash they can wire out of the country, apparently to the former Eastern Block or Russia.  

By using many names, and only small charges, in most cases banks will not do any investigation but just credit back the money to their customers.  The complaints get spread over many names, and they keep opening new fronts.  This operation has been going on for several years, tuned to match the banking system policies, and is probably costing banks and consumers many millions in on-going losses.

The various front names are being tracked here:
