You could also have a trojan horse/keylogger type virus on your computer.
I'd recommend getting
Lavasoft AdAware
Spyboy Search & Destroy
and if you're feeling more advanced, download HiJackThis
They're all free programs.
Otherwise, list the places you've bought from to see if they're familiar sites or not.

I got my credit card number/mac stolen, not my identity. From shopping online. Someone maxed out my account, I was reimbursed but it was a MAJOR PITA. Because I did not know it until I bounced all of my checks at the end of the month. Each charge was a separate incident witch required individual disputes on my part. The way they got around the safe guards was by charging .99 and then 40.00 over and over and the system did not pick it up because of the different amounts. They tracked it down to Africa and that's as far as it went that I know of. And the vendor was a fake eBay and pay-pal. alternating the .99 and the 40.00.
Huge PITA........

maybe I got one of these! Beware of the threat from hacked websites
Tell us who the damn parts place was!
We where charged $5.000 in Europe but the CC reimbursed us and when after the place who sold what ever. I think the info was taken from someone in India on the help line for Verizon!
My wife got her ID stolen from a illegal alien who used a name that was close but not the same and used her Social security number. It took her a year to get her PERFECT credit back and we had to do all the work! They need to change the :censure: law to help innocent law abiding citizens! BUT NOOOOO!!!!! They should hang the bastards who do this too BUT NOOOOOOOO! The sleaze bags have a free ticket in our country.
