Went to vegas w/my homies this past weekend for my birthday -- won lots of money this time. 
had a freaking great time!
but Sun morning Washington Mutual Fraud calls me -- and asks me about some charges that were made to my card -- apparently someone ordered about $800 worth of computer crap using my credit card!
WTF!!!
The only two internet websites I ordered from lately is :
svc.com
jab-tech.com
Man this sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*UPDATE*
So i went to Washington Mutual to get the paperwork filled out for the fraud thing.
Then I deposited a large amount of money to cover some checks I had written out before all of this.
Tonight, I am checking my account, and I have $2077.29 in unknown charges again!!! My balance shows that I have that much missing, but Washington Mutual is updating their database, so I won't konw what the actual charges are until 6am PST.
AGH!!!
I'm freaking freaked out that I won't get my $$ back!!
Can anyone help or tell me from experience how things will go???
AGH!!A??!

Alright, let me do my best to address all the questions.
THe card is a Washington Mutual Visa Check/Debit card.
As soon as I found out about the charges, I went the bank and closed the credit card attached to the account. I had written a bunch of checks the previous week to pay for bills, and I told the teller this information. She stated that the card was cancelled, so it could not be used. However, the checks that I wrote would be fine to clear w/o problems. She assured me that nothing but my checks would clear -- the account was frozen.
Anyway, I checked my account this morning online, and I freaked out over nothing -- the bulk of the checks I wrote were the ones posted on my account and cleared, and only a few of the same fraud charges showed up. Here are the transaction details:
11/15/2004 DIRECTDEBIT/VISA-VTL SCE 18776471300 $46.90
11/15/2004 DIRECTDEBIT/VISA-1ST CLASS SOFTWAREMISSISSAUGA ON $59.19

1. the card was cancelled right away
2. I wrote checks w/o more than enough $$ to cover them before the fraud.
3. I had no choice -- i did not want to bounce 10 checks. Plus the teller assured me that it would be fine.
4. I was hanging out w/my friends all weekend - i was still in the "homies" mood. SORRY!
