I had an odd experience just before someone tried to use my credit card, first for a $.97 purchase and when that was successful, to make a purchase of over $600 online with my card. I bought about $125 worth of parts from a noted seller by phone and paid with a credit card. I ordered the parts from a man. Later that day a woman called and said my CC was declined and to give her the number again because they couldn't ship the parts unless it was paid. So I did, plus the expiration date and security code on the back. She then said oh, that's the number she had and it worked this time. That was strange to me - never ever had a call like that from a seller - and I buy a lot of things by phone and online. Then a few days later my CC was stolen. I'm not saying this person took my number, but if anyone else has had this happen, the pattern is definitely worth reporting.

The companies I have used for many years even waive the $50. I've even gotten calls from their security people asking if I made a particular purchase at a particular location (and they never ask for any numbers/passwords, etc). In-person purchases in widely different locales have triggered a call, and purchases outside my normal buying habits have triggered a call, too. I'm a lot more paranoid with a *debit* card.
