Credit/Debit cards are contently being attacked by thieves. The chances are just as even that your number was taken that way as it was from Android Market
If I were you I'd do the following
1. Cancel your current credit/debit card
2. File a police report with your local police department
Thanks for letting us know!

Correct and correct! The card was auto canceled once it was confirmed it was a fragulent purchase. Also considering the location the bad purchase came from it was most likely an internet purchase or an app store purchase that stole the number. This is just theory obviously. However my theory is probably good. I dont use this card for anything other then apps. I used it for an internet purchase several months ago for a set of Astro A40 headphones directly from the Astro A40 web site. I also used it on the net to purchase the yxplayer. Other then those two purchases all other purchases came from the app store. I highly doubt it was stolen from the astro site. It had to of been stolen from either the app store or the yxplayer site. I dont use this card to purchase gas or hit the mac machine.
The purchase came from London I live in the USA and have never visited London. Yeah it could have some how magicly got stolen from somewhere else but I highly doubt it. I dont have internet banking with this card its pretty prehistory in that regard lol so it couldnt have been stolen from my laptop. It most likley got picked up off the app store.
Also I am not hating just warning. I will continue to use the app store with a credit card only. The benifits of using a credit card are that a credit card is insured making it safer.
