Dude, if you would prefer not to mention the vendor...could you at least gives us a generic idea of where it was compromised...gas station, grocery store, chain retail, specialty, restaurant, fast food, etc.

I also activate alerts plus I check my credit card and my bank account every day online to make sure everything is ok. Also some card readers are attached to the legitimate card readers on gas pumps and will enable a bad guy (or girl) to skim the number on your debt or CC card. I always give the card reader on the gas pump a good grab and shake before swiping my card, it should not be loose or come off the pump if it is a legitimate reader
