    On what info they had to have in order to make online purchases. If it was just the number, then they could have got it off any old receipt or even had it internet generated. Your card was probably skimmed and then the details used by a thief too lazy to clone it!

    Its really easy to buy stuff from certain sites...which is why your bank refunded you....the onus is on the merchant having never actually seen the physical card and yet accepted payment.

    Payment was done over the telephone-that much I do know..But obviously addresses didn't match up for delivery of aforesaid very expensive computer!!

    Thinking card may have had details read from cashpoint. Only explanation for me really.
