Possible fraud alert
I received an email "from Chase Fraud Alert" telling me of possible fraudulent activity on my card ending in ####, however, the phone numbers to call DID NOT AGREE WITH THE PHONE NUMBERS ON MY CARD, and the #### was an OLD number that was compromised with the Home Depot data breach.
I called the phone number on my card, and was transferred to the fraud department, and sure enough someone had the OLD card number.
DO NOT call the numbers in the email, call the number on your card, and then discuss the problem with the vendor directly. This is actually a little scary, as the culprits appear to have a credit card number, and my email (which home depot had for email receipts), and were able to create a very reasonable email. I am sure if I had called the numbers on the email there would have been a very different result.
Hope this helps.
