You've just joined the 27.3 million Americans who are victims of identity theft every year!
Yep; got a nice e-mail from my bank about that this morning, reporting suspicious activity on my account and that I should probably check it. Log in to my online banking, and what do I find? iTunes Store, iTunes Store, iTunes Store, iTunes Store...this explains why my account seemed low even after depositing my last paycheck.
Fortunately, I called my bank as soon as I found these, and they said they'll send some fraud claim forms, get me a new card, and get this all sorted out. Still...I feel violated. As well I should, I suppose, if someone got a hold of my bank card number...eugh.
EDIT: Upon further investigation, I wonder whether they truly got my credit card number, or got their hands on my iTunes account...an account I haven't used since 2008, at least...oh, crap.
EDIT2: No, wait, they couldn't have done that. To do that, they'd have had to use the number on an older bank card that I had previously cancelled because I lost. Hrm...

Over a year ago, someone managed to get their hands on my card...I was watching the account like a hawk up to where the card was deactivated.
