Fraud on my Maestro card

I received my bank statement today and noticed that £30 had been debited from my account on 1st April (no April fool) by MIPAY TALKMOBILE T BROOKWOORD SUR so I phoned up the banks fraud number and they asked if I had topped up my mobile. Which I hadn't. They then went on to tell me that another £30 was taken by the same company earlier this week (5th May).

They then advised me to go through old statements carefully and check to see if any similar payments had been taken.

I dug out old statements and again found £30 debited by O2 (UK) LTD PREPAY SLOUGH on the 16th January and another £30 taken by the same company on the 9th October 2008.

So that is a total of £120 stolen from my account over a period of 6 months.

The card that the fraud was carried out on is very rarely used, how could someone have got my details?
