I went to buy something at iTunes and it said my account had been deactivated. Chatted online with a very helpful CSR who informed me someone used my account (debit card!) to buy two $50 gift cards which they interpreted to be fraudulent activity (how I do not know and did not ask since they were correct) and so they suspended the account.
I checked and the charges were there on my bank account. Called the bank and they cancelled the card and will refund the money. However I have no accress to cash at the moment and have about $5 to my name. On the plus side I won $16 in powerball, so that should get me to Tuesday when my new card is supposed to get here.

I don't leave my credit card lying around so I have to assume I gave it to someone in a restaurant or something and they wrote the number down. It happened end of June and I never noticed except I came up short last month and had to take money out of savings. I'll have to be more careful about checking charges going forward.
