They said it was something to do with at&t! Granted, I live in at&t land but I've never had any personal accounts with at&t in my life. So they have granted my request for fraudulent activity and will place the cash back into my account for now. I've also looked over my past purchases with that card and it turns out that I had recently used it. I made a purchase just days earlier from Paragon Software for a product called Partition Manager. They use Element 5 for their card processing. I've purchased a lot in the past that used element 5 and never had a problem. I'd also purchased a pizza from a local Pizza Hut with the on-line ordering system just prior to the element 5 purchase. Prior to these purchases, I had not used the card in months. So it could be a breach at either of those places or a key logger. Key logger is doubtful but not impossible. Between the pizza and paragon purchase, I had done a complete format and clean install of XP. Anyway, thanks bunches to everyone who has given advice! edit: spelling

They didn't get it from your PC or from any recent transactions you have made. This is where they most likely got it. Read what MGD wrote in the topic below: »Just an FYI: KCSOFTLLC $9.95 Fraud - They're still at it! Regards, Doctor Olds -- What’s the point of owning a supercar if you can’t scare yourself stupid from time to time?

I just felt obligated to reveal my past purchases just in case. The way I look at it, they get the info from somewhere and who knows where. I'm sure that one of these days that this will be figured out. If it is just random card number attempts then it will be hard to figure out. I'm still leary of the card processors myself. I'd bet they pay the employee's a low wage. So you get your typical bandit who has leads on employee's of said company that are having a hard time financially and this said bandit offers that person a large sum of money to disclose info. I'm not saying that is what happened in my case but it is possible. I did read MGD's post that you linked. I remember the TroubleBubble fraud that went down. I'd say that the same people are behind this fraud. Years ago I told myself that I'd never ever use credit cards because someone could steal your money. I even told my parents that way back when! Now of course almost 40 years later, I have cards and they are almost a necessity of life these days! I do wonder how many people that DON'T use the internet have been hit with these charges?
