I just got off the phone with the bank, my account is now safely frozen until we figure this out!
I was looking at my online banking, and I noticed a charge from this morning for $4.89 from IM GAMES COM LLC.
I didn't use my card today or yesterday, so I called the bank.
The charge is from somewhere in Denver! I googled the company, and this is apparently a very common scam. The info is stolen very high up the information chain, because it has happened to people who never use a card online.
The companies charge very small amounts to millions of people, and the money eventually ends up in Eastern Europe.
This was a massive reality check for me.
