You know you do not even have to use your credit card anywhere to have scams happen. Apparantly there are programs that just generate numbers all day and sometimes they get lucky and come up with yours. There are also little gremlin programs that can infect your computers and look for numbers that are used regularly. Ive been doing a bit of looking at credit card fraud this last week and its amazing the ways they can do it.
I think no matter what the banks do these scum will always be one step ahead.
But it certainly is a wake up when it happens to you.
