Thanks for the info Kenji.
I guess it's somewhat reassuring to know it's not just 'us' hopefully this
brought the issue to light and others are watching their accounts closely
until this blows by us, if it just blows by. I'm hoping this doesn't become
the 'norm' what a pain, I thought about getting a new VISA issued once a
year or so just to get my old number out of circulation.
For those that are curious I've got around 20 emails from people in the last
30 minutes that have had this happen to them very recently.
