I was just a victim of credit card fraud

Last night before bed I checked my email and chase sent me something saying they declined a 59.99 charge from some place. I called them up, and apparently there was a 34.99 charge right after that, and another 34.99 charge from a different company, and they were using my old exp date. They gave me 800 numbers for both companies and I called them up.
The first couldn't tell me what was attempted because it was in the decline list, but she gave me the ip (in Louisiana) and email ([email protected]) used. This obviously was not me. Called the second company and they wouldn't give me any specific information, but they did say "I" tried to buy a sub to blacksonblondes.
Called chase back, confirmed all this stuff w/them, they cancelled my account, are sending a new card w/in 24/48 hours, an envelope from their fraud department which I will use to communicate w/them and/or open my own case against whoever did this, and are contacting all 3 credit bureaus to make sure nothing bad is on my report.
I have to say.. the way chase dealt w/it was pretty awesome. They were quick, knowledgeable, everything.

so, are you gonna create a new blog/site w/your "vital stats" and other phoneyness as a lure and then have a hidden stat counter to track who visits...and check to see if you get an ip match?
"Did you get the IP address then? Is it outside the US?" (If you need that translated, there are problems with you).

I had a hard time "translating" it, because I don't get how you couldn't understand what he was talking about.
