I have had similar experiences with other credit cards, it appears that criminals just enter random numbers and if one gets through, they immediately charge items against it. my point this was probably not a problem unique to Lowe's it just happened to be a Lowe's account number. To guard against this, I have email alerts on all of me cards and bank accounts, I know with 15 minutes of any charges and can take appropriate action if necessary.
