So today I got an email from some auction site called bidz.com congratulating me on winning a auction. I checked them out online and they sound like bad news. Anyway, here's the email:

Dear iwantsome123,

I've never heard of these guys, and certainly never signed up. My question is, did someone get ahold of my CC info, or is this a marketing ploy?

Bidz.com is a legitimate online auction site. I would contact them and let them know about this so that if an auction was indeed bid on using your credit card, they'll put a flag on the account and close it so that it can no longer be used. I would also call your credit card companies to activate a flaud alert. They will most likely recommend that you cancel your cards and send you new ones.
