Sorry this has happened to you. It also happened to me about 6 wks ago. Somehow they got the number of my cc and the code. The card never left my possesion and I never gave it to a clerk to swipe. I didn't know about it for about 10 days. They tried to charge between three and four thousand dollars. The number was sold and it was used in some overseas transactions. Luckily all of the transactions were denied but two. Since I had not done anything wrong the money was put back in my account. I asked the lady from the bank handling the matter how much personal info is on the card. When I heard the answer I immediately got Lifelock. My biggest fear was that they would try to open other accounts in my name. I reported the theft to the police however there in nothing they can do so the case is closed. The most irritating thing was the bank did not notify me and I did not find out until I drove through the ATM and tried to withdraw some cash and my card said it was deactivated. When asked, the bank said they did try to call, but I checked my phone records, missed calls, voice messages and there was nothing from them. Lesson learned; be aware and keep track of your transactions and check you bank account often. We do this online.
