This happened to us last month but the card wasn't used for any online transactions at all, just a gas station, liquor store, jewelry, and clothing stores in another city in Canada. VISA put a hold on the card before it got too out of hand because they noticed a lot of unusual activity (we don't use that particular card much, only for vacations).

There's an investigation going on but we have no idea how it could have happened; the card was still in my hubby's wallet. We're thinking it was part of some sophisticated fraud thing, because they'd have had to make a whole new card as these were all purchases that had to be made physically. No one buys gas online or phones in the card number ;) We hadn't used that card in canada for months so someone was holding on to our number for a while.
