Had my credit card number stolen!

yeah there was so much random international stuff on there that is is crazy. so obvious.

then I call the nice educational company that made the "letters and numbers" CDs and told them it was fraud, card canceled, etc. and do they want their CDs back? he says I should return them insured mail or I might get charged $75.

what about "the card has been canceled" don't you people understand????? oy!!

Wow, I am NOT impressed with your bank there.

Mine seems to have its meter to "super sensitive" and they often call me to check for legitimate (but unusual) charges. But I really wonder how those frivolous things might have been authorized sight unseen!

What I don't understand is what's the point for the thiefs to be using your credit card to send YOU things?!

On a separate note, when my # was stolen it was used to open up an account with some online gambling web site. I received a letter by (post) mail from the UK thanking me for opening the account and blablabla. I wrote them back by email saying that the account was opened by someone who stole my credit card number and that I requested that it be closed immediately or I would be in touch with the British authorities. The gambling service wrote right back telling me that they had closed the account and how sorry they were for what happened to me. Under the circumstances, I thought it was not bad.
