No, they left me a voicemail saying to call back the mastercard security department as soon as possible, then I called the 1800 number at the back of my card.

Glad they caught onto it so quickly & let you know before it got any worse

my hubby had £500 removed from his credit card a couple of years back by somebody in malaysia. he got it all refunded but it is scary stuff. too much fraud going on these days - i mean, anyone could be walking around with your identity!

hope you feel better soon.

missjess,
One thing you should now be sure to do is to contact the two main credit bureaus in Canada and let them know that you have had an identity theft. While you're at it, request your free copies of your credit report and make sure that nothing else suspicious has happened. The credit card companies are generally pretty good about taking care of these things, but if for some reason this thief accessed more than just that card, you need to protect yourself and your credit score by making sure that there is a record of the incident. The credit score stuff can be a nightmare to sort out if someone's messed with your ID, but if you're proactive you can save yourself a world of headache.
