That would be the only place other than Amazon and my web host that I have used it somewhere other than in local stores, and that sure is looking like the weak link. So far, nothing has popped up funny on my husband's card number, so I think it was just mine and not the whole account, thankfully. In the end, we'll just be out $24 that no one wants to help us straighten out, but that's nothing compared to what some people have lost through this kind of thing. I'm feeling a little lucky we caught it so quickly. A few other people have emailed me with the same charges, and the only common denominators are Amazon and Yahoo. Of the two, I trust Amazon more, but you never know, do you? I’d never used that card or account with Paypal, but I think I did once use it through a Yahoo shopping cart about 6 months ago.

We got the same think on our AMX account and so did some friends of ours. Also we got a $10 charge for skype on a different charge card. Something is very fishy with pay pal or yahoo. If you have used your credit cards or bank account info on line they must have had someone who breached their system and is doing something illegal good luck Your not the only ones.

It's completely stressing me out. If it's just my card, then it's over, but what if it's our whole bank account and we don't know it yet?! I want a redo on this week. So far, it's sucked.
