We've been victims of credit card fraud

Today we realized someone had charged $4,000 on my husband's credit card on Tuesday. They shopped at a women's retail store on Main St Markham. It seems that on Monday he had gone to the Petrocanada gas station at Kennedy and Hwy7 in Unionville and used a machine which had a sign saying 'pay inside, card reader broken'. On the same day, there was a $99 charge at another Petrocanada in Etobicoke, about an hour's drive away. That must have been the test case. We are sorting it out with the credit card company, but it's a horrible thing to happen to anyone.
