That has happened to me, also, Mark and more than once - on one occasion it was a nightmare and on the other just an inconvenience.

Our credit card company called just the other day to say that our card had been compromised 'as reported to them by law enforcement' - no further explanation - just a "please cut your card up; we will send you replacements".

My suspicion is that many breaches occur at restaurants as they temporarily take possession of your card during which time they can steal your credit card number and the security code.
