I changed my account password as obviously it was hacked.
This really sounds like an ongoing email phishing scam, where a fake order confirmation shows up with a phone number to call (or less often a link) to cancel the transaction. They ask you to provide your card number to authorize the refund, and bingo your card is compromised.....
