I have placed two credit card charges on the internet to Cabela's and Sony
using master card. I noticed that I have two unauthorized charges to AP9 24
HR Protect and AP9 Your Savings Club. These were sent out by Adaptive
Marketing. I called Adaptive Marketing and asked how they got my credit card
number. They said I must have clicked on a banner. I contacted Cabela's and
Sony . They said there web sites don't have banners.I have Spybot,AdAware and
Windows Defender.

Does any one know how they got my credit card numbers?I did not click on a
banner.
 
Perhaps your computer is infected with malware and someone is stealing your
credit card info?

There are many ways.
 
Scan your computer for Spyware/Malware.
There is such a thing as Keyloggers.
