Sorry to be a downer, but this just happened to me. I've been doing quite a bit of online shopping while setting up my tank, and somebody working at one of the vendors took my credit card number and went on a spending rampage. Due to the communal nature of this hobby, we deal with vendors both huge and small (1-3 people). I've done business with something like 9 different vendors and hobbyists in the last 2 months, so it's going to be difficult in nailing down who did this to me. I won't give more details about it, as I would really like to find this person (in a dark alley). I've only used my credit card to buy stuff for my tank, so I know it's a aquatics-related vendor.
Be careful people! Make sure you keep an eye on your monthly statements. Now I also have to check my credit report for the next year or two to make sure this thief doesn't open new accounts that mail directly to him/her using my info (he has my mailing address and phone number from when I submitted my info online to buy something).
