... is the cost of an unmolested credit card.
All in all, I'm actually pleased with myself. My friends and family often slap their foreheads over my being so cheap/frugal and money-driven, but it's pulled my bacon out of the fryer.

It only took me a few minutes to contact both vendors to confirm that it was fraud, and then order a new card from the bank. Whoo!
Now if only I can find out who got my number ... it's probably some random stranger, but I'm always curious about this stuff.
