However, the real core of my advice is to (if you don't already) get into online banking, and (if you don't already) check it every day ... at least once a day. My experience has been that if one spots an "issue" or a potential issue, the bank will normally be willing to supply the phone number of the merchant/vendor and often a phone call will end the matter there. And a repeat of the standard: buy only from known and trusted (fill in the blank) ... refer to the "eBay and PayPal" reference above ... please note that the infestation of a few is most unfortunately tainting the many unfairly, none the less caution is advised. All that said, canceling the card, based the detail you have provided, is the right move. Your mileage may vary.
