There are any number of ways someone can get your credit card number. It can be skimmed, meaning it's passed through a device that reads and traps the magnetic data; that can happen at resturants, stores and even ATM machines. You can be conned into a phishing scam where you inwittingly give the number to someone who seems official (PayPal and eBay scams are very popular now, but there's no end to the variety). You online account data can be hacked. Someone can look over your shoulder and either memorize or write it down. There are some ecxellent websites pertaining to fraud and identity theft. Check out The internet Fraud Complaint Center at www.ifccfbi.gov Your attorney general should also have some good information. Also look at www.idtheftcenter.org
