Credit Card Fraud

Hello everyone, I usually do not post to often, however I am a constant lurker on the forums and I had a few questions I hope someone might know the answer to. Earlier this morning I routinely logged into my bank account to see what was going on, and randomly a charge on March 1st, that was not there before was displayed on my account, and I did not authorize the charge, in fact there was 2 charges: 3/01: $24.99 3/01: $0.25 Those were the 2 charges that were displayed on my account, as well I know exactly where and how that I have used all of my Credit Card information, considering I have had this Card for a very short period of time, I am trying to figure out how someone could have possibly obtained my CC information. As well there was a number on the account, which was a number to the United Kingdom which I then attempted to call, for reference that number is: 441962658234. After placing a call to that number I was greeted by a voice recording informing me to e-mail support@cc24.cc with the date of charges, the amount of charges, and the last 4 of the Credit Card.... wait, what? That's all the recording had on it, feel free to call it yourself. So shortly after I thought about it, thinking it would be absolutely moronic for me to even drop these guys an e-mail, however instead opt out when the bank opens to give them a call and force a chargeback. Regardless, I went ahead and did a bit more research and easily found some informati ...

Last Friday I got a call from the Fraud department of my Credit Card company asking me about several transactions. None of them were made by me and I declared them to be fraudulent. We went through the usual motions - Card cancelled, new Card will be sent in the mail, I am not responsible for the fraudulent transactions. I didn’t think much of it all but did wonder where the Fraud originated from since this is a Card that I rarely use. Yesterday I saw a tweet from @Monoprice talking about an investigation they were conducting due to customer complaints about Credit Card Fraud. Interestingly enough, I had made a couple of recent transactions at Monoprice (I am a total gadget guy, and this is the best place to get HDMI cables) and started to wonder if this could be the source of the Fraud on this occasionally used Card. What interested me about this situation was how the web was being used for status updates and how this can make or break the reputation of a business. When I got the call from the Card company, I had no idea where the Fraud originated from. I happen to follow Monoprice on Twitter and noticed the update. They have a large following on Facebook as well and decided to use these sites to keep their customers informed. Should Monoprice have contacted me directly to inform me that I may have fraudulent transactions on my account or rely on mass communication channels like Twitter and Facebook? Or, should the Fraud department ...
