Be wary of spyware when you shop online. If you purchased spy sweeper
online using a cc, then the spyware might have snagged your cc# before it
was removed by spy sweeper.
Since you deleted it so fast, the spyware might have not had a chance to
"call home", but it's something to think about anyway.
