I just checked my latest credit card statement and in all of the spending I'm doing I see a nearly $300 charge at WalMart.com. I didn't buy anything at walmart.com.
Preceding that is a $5 charge. It turns out that is a contribution I made to a charity I don't know.
After calling the CC company, I called the number for the $5 charge. They had flagged it as fraud already. The teefs make a donation to see if the number is good, then have at it.
My guess is some web site I ordered from recently got powned. In particular I bought some replacement styli for my PDA phone at a .com which turned out to be really cheap, and at least 1 of the 3 was usable, but hey they have free shipping in return for your credit card number.
Now you know why it takes an act of congress to get stuff shipped to an address that's not your home.
I would like to strangle these miscreants but I don't know if I can take on the KGB.
