Yes, it happened to me once before about five years ago, it got sorted out but was a PITA. Thankfully they cut off the card after the three $300+ transactions at "SPORTS AUTHORITY 0660 ANTIOCH CAUS", I haven't a clue where that could be. I wasn't alerted until I tried to use my card at WalMart at about 7:30 PM HST and it was declined.

I went home and checked my account and found the three transactions, and immediately called the emergency number on the card and permanently blocked the card.

Now I need to go to my bank and get a new card issued, then inform all my on line payment folks that the number was changed. I also need to initiate procedures to recover the fraudulent losses, I'm not sure who's pocket it comes from but I suspect it's Sports Authority's.
