Last month, I paid my husband's emergency bill online instead of mailing the check. Two days later, my credit card was used fraudulently on two online purchases from two companies for a total of over $500. Luckily, I have had transaction alert setup for all my cards and was able to contact the credit card company about this illegal charges within 24 hours. They have to cancel my card and reissue a new one. They also told me a week later that they did not pursue the investigation because the charges were denied.
There was another online payment that I made one day later on the same card to the tax software company for Federal income tax filing. I doubt very much that the illegal charges were made by this company's, because I've used this tax software every year for the past five years or longer and always paid with credit card and never had any problem.
