Fradulent charges, time to change passwords!

Hi all,
Just thought I'd post something up here. I have many, MANY different passwords for the sites I go to. I actually have a list I refer to in order to find my passwords at times because it is so hard to remember them all. Well, I just got a letter from my credit card company Saturday stating that my account was suspected of fraudulent charges. (I just got a new card in the mail the same week, old card's magnetic strip was gone.) So I called them up figuring since they didn't have one of those call first stickers on the card that maybe they didn't like something with the new card. So I gave all my info, it recognized me then went on to list four previous purchases and to acknowledge whether I bought them or not. Come to find out only one of the four were actually mine!! Somehow somebody got my CC# and spent around $700 online, $400 of which was declined, but the last $300 is still lingering. Bank One somehow managed to sort out the bad ones there, but still there will be a $300 balance on my account until it is thoroughly investigated, the account is now closed. Just a helpful reminder to change your passwords, I know that I will be.
