[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 106606, member: 1991"] Sometimes these things happen as incidental to another investigation. For example, you might buy a pair of shoes from a particular store, which also has an online shop. Maybe the card numbers of cards used in face-to-face purchases go onto the same computer which is used to store information about online purchases. And maybe they were following a money trail that happened to take them past this shoe store (a crim may have bought a pair of shoes online with a stolen card) and found your details also on the same computer. That doesn't mean the crim had access to your card details; but it indicates that possibly they could have. The store may be totally innocent, just permeable. Or your details MAY have been accessed, but maybe SS found your card details along with several million others; and the crims, if they were working through those details at all, may only have got to the first few hundred before the unusual activity tipped off the banks. Watch your account carefully, hope for the best and look forward to getting your new card. Marg [/QUOTE]
