That's about half what I got done for in the £13680 card cloning drama (http://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/index.php?topic=12039.0). 

You could look at it his way.  Your or my name is so prestigious that on mere sight of it Americans will assume it's good for loadsa credit.   Yeah as if.

[serious]
Hope this gets sorted PPDQ

But do not throw away the card.  They will tell you to cut it up and throw it away and then the paperwork will ask you if you have had the card at all times.  Hard to prove that if N pieces of the card are scattered over several bins.  I photographed the cut up card and they accepted that as proof

Also hopefully the bastards tried and failed.  With me they tried and succeeded meaning the money was shown as owing by me for 3 weeks during which the account and even replacement card were locked.

I guess now would be a very bad time to say never ever have only one card or one bank [/serious]
