The day I cancelled my account with Stamps.com was the day my credit card number was used in California. The credit card company called me on Thanksgiving Day with an automated message that my card number had been used and that the item (the person attempted to purchase) was over my credit limit, and would I stay on the line to talk to a customer service rep. She and I had an interesting conversation. My number had been used to purchase (in California) lunch at a fast food place for $11.50 after being turned down on a $2,700 computer purchase (my limit on that card is $500).
I had the card with me, I had not traveled anywhere in the past year, and the only thing I had used my card for other than gasoline purchases was to try Stamps.com for 2 months.
I tried emailing Stamps.com for an explanation of how my credit card number got out, but all they would say is 'please call our customer service' and I could not get through at that number (as I had difficulty in getting through on that number when I wanted to cancel my account).
