When my credit card was compromised I had no warning - I just went to use it one day and it was declined (very embarrassing as I had not other payment option so had to leave the shop). When I called the bank they said it had been compromised so they had cancelled it and a new card was on the way to me. And as the others said, they wouldn't tell me what happened.

However, I found out the next day when it was on the front page of our local paper. 10,000 cards had been stopped because payment machines at city car parks had been skimmed and I was a frequent user of the car park.
