The other night, I was checking my credit card charges online when I noticed a charge for over $400 at a stop & Shop in New York. As I live in NH and I haven't been traveling I knew this wasn't my charge. The next charge was over $100 at a Spencers in NY. I immediately called my credit card company who looked up my account and responded with "Your card number is one on a list that was possibly stolen from an online merchant. Do we have your permission to close the account". Um.. YES! Close it NOW. So, now I am waiting for my new card to come in the mail. Then I will have to deal with changing it in all those places that automatically billed that card every month. What a pain!
