Over the weekend we watched as a handful of bogus charges came through our checking account. We call BofA (who were very nice, btw) and asked them to check - sure enough, they were all on the same debit card. At some point the card was compromised and the data posted online (although with a few discrepancies). We contacted one of the online vendors directly. They had already tentatively flagged one of the transactions as fraudulent.
Of course now I had to cancel the card and have a new one issued. Also, any automatic charges (gym membership, etc.) that were linked to that card have to be updated and any online accounts that were set up have to be changed as well. We will have to keep an eye on the account for a couple of weeks in case something was authorized that didn't post yet.
What a pain :P
