I'm sorry this happened to you. It's especially frightening when you don't know exactly how they pulled it off. It sounds like the credit card company did well by you in catching it.
My experience with credit card fraud was when someone somehow got hold of the number and purchased....get this....expensive sunglasses and a subscription to an internet adult entertainment business! And then they stopped at that! Go figure. Scary yes, but I have to admit I was also amused.
I found it when I saw an unfamiliar charge on my statement and called the number on the item listing. I asked what kind of business they were, was amazed, and the porno people promptly credited my account. Then I called the credit card company to get a new card.
