I'm having an identity crisis
Apparently I really, really, REALLY like flowers. At least, that's what my credit card statement would lead you to believe, because I spent thousands of dollars at 1800flowers.com over the last week. I also bought a bunch of junk at Walgreens and iTunes and some other random places.
This is the second time I've had my credit card number stolen and had to close an account, check my credit reports, fill out paperwork, etc. I feel like I'm being careful with my information, and I feel like I'm not shopping at a bunch of shady online stores, but this is the second time this has happened to me. What am I doing wrong?
Trying not to be too angry about it. I'm not liable for anything. But I'm still mad. Time to do some research into how to prevent this from happening AGAIN.

I've had to have my debit card number changed a couple of times. No one charged anything, though; the bank just told me information was stolen from somewhere. Once I came back from a trip with no cash left and the bank's ATM took my card away from me. Scary, that!

Good that your bank was looking out for you and took care of things before anyone was able to steal anything.
