Ironic fraud, it can happen to you.

I used to have an LJ icon of the guy's head.

I just got hit for a 200$ bill from Video Professor - I shit you not, the crazy bald guy who sells computer "how to" crap. Clearly, I did not make this purchase - I have to change my card, and am in full-on detective mode - I am pretty careful about how and what I buy online, and run a secure network, etc... My lead suspected culprit ATM is Facebook.

i was testing an app

We are looking at facebook purchase portal integration via paypal and our internal vendor, and i was working with the API - i can only imagine that the info got cached somewhere as i was running tests, and someone processed it. However since the tests weren't using real address info, whatever was authorized "ordered" has no way to get to me (not that I would want it).

The site is a scam - you try to call them, and they have nobody to talk to, just a messagebox you can leave a number on so someone can call you back.
