Credit Card Fraud

So yesterday evening I get a call from my bank asking about my credit card usage. Not
trusting the caller, I called the bank. Sure enough, my credit card information had
been used at a Shell station in California for a $110 purchase. The actual card was
still in my billfold, so somehow they got the number.
How? I don't know. But the card is cancelled. Right when I'm about to order Christmas
presents. Pain in the ass. Luckily, the bank will get me a new card in two days.
So...watch yourself.
I received a call once regarding my Discover card. It had been used
that morning to buy over $5k worth of "stuff" in West Palm Beach,
Florida. I was at my house in MA at the time.
Discover was good. They voided the charges made, canceled and replaced
the card.
I haven't used it since though.
