The scammers are trying, thank goodness my card company is on top of things!!
Did you use it on your computer? you could have spyware and tracking cookies that got the information through there.
Never use IE and never trust windows firewall to protect you. Comodo is the best there is in the firewall department and Spyware Terminator is the best at the malware when you use Spyware Blaster with it. Then you can get CCleaner and wipe your cache out every night or morning which ever you choose.
I have all of these on my comp and never had the first problem, all of the programs are free at CNET.com and also another good program to have is one that encrypts your keystrokes.
You have to be proactive in this day and age with hackers and identity theft.
