Scam site?

I used my credit card on a site yesterday for a music software download. I was surprised that there was no confirmation. I looked the site up today to see that it could be a dodgy one. Having cancelled my card I am worried about any repercussions if my card has been already used fraudulently.

    Just report any fraudulent transactions to your card provider. You'll be fine.

    You've already done most of what you need - reporting the card to your bank and getting a new one. Your bank shouldn't authorise any new transactions, so unless some were already showing when you cancelled your card you'll be fine.

    I'd also be keeping an eye out for any strange emails/letters/calls in case any details you entered into the online form (eg. name, DOB, address, email address,mobile number etc) are used to direct further spam/scam material towards you.
