There was no phone number on the charge on the credit card so I searched on the internet for the company and got the number and called them. Found out someone in Florida stole a truck and had it hauled to New York. The credit card company told me to put tin foil around the credit card so scammers could not read the card. We have no idea how the card number was stolen. Last year in Feb. we were in Flordia for a month, so someone could have read the card and saved that number for a year. So be aware.
My cousin (in FL) had her credit card info stolen a few months back, not the card. She contacted the police and they never did find out who did it but think it originated from a gas station. There had been another gas station in the area and the thieves put a device on the gas pump to capture credit card info. Customers thought it was part of the gas pump.
