MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - Stolen Credit Card Number

So, apparently someone in England (maybe?) tried to go on a shopping spree the other day with my credit card number. Buying flowers from FTD, and over $350.00 in clothing from some online store, as well as some other stuff. I even got a call from FTD saying I'd need to call them back regarding an order I allegedly made... Probably because my CC wouldn't approve for the strange/unusual purchase/s. I also got a call from my CC company's fraud dept. to see if I recognized the recent purchases that were made.

Now... About FTD calling my number to see about the purchases, or to get another CC... That doesn't make any sense. If a business is going to call ME to approve a purchase, or get another CC#, of course I'm not going to say it's okay. So, that was either a goof on the persons part, or a way of telling me "we gots ya numba boi". Well, not only my CC#, but my phone # too.

So in the meantime, I'll be pondering how they could've gotten it.

eta: At any rate, the CC is now cancelled, and none of the fraudulent charges went through.
