I had that problem earlier this year. I had a new card issued
immediately and canceled the old one. I kept getting calls from a
Western Union. Finally they gave up. I told them the card had been
canceled and that wasn't my card number anymore.

Something similar happened to me, but it did not happen on line, it 
happened when I checked into a motel for a MG meeting several years 
ago. One of their staff stole my information. I caught it when my bill 
came, and did not lose any money, and had my card replaced, but had to 
deal with six months of correspondence with the company from whom the 
merchandise had fraudulently been purchased. (The only address they 
had, was mine, and they wanted their money!)
