I also had fraudulent use of my credit card in mid-Jan 2013---was it Fabric Depot? Who knows, as the gas station that I do my regular business at also had some problems, plus the type of information that they apparently had when they tried to change my billing address, etc (which Fabric Depot did not have and neither did the gas station)was used at my cell phone co right before. Anyway, I will do business with them again. But I agree with BellaBoo that you have to be so on top of your credit cards--keep track and reconcile your bills, and don't use debit cards! Credit card co (at least Capitol One) are always looking for fraud.
