LOL When I called the site's support they said thieves will often do this to test out if a card works then go off and max it out. Because I caught it the next morning they stopped all transactions. I also called the steakhouse to complain and they called the cops, who arrested the 20 year old shaggy dousche waiter (get a haircut hippie!).
Fun times. LOL So yeah, it happens. Glad you caught it!

I was involved with a fraud case years ago where a waiter in NYC would snag credit card numbers and their information, sign up as an affiliate, and then bang credit cards through his affiliate link. By the time we detected the fraud, he had cash in hand and he was already gone. Eventually the FBI caught up with him.
