Default Potentially Hacked Debit Card? Help?

So today I checked my bank account and apparently I have 3 pending transactions. One from yahoo personals, another from match.com, and another from ubglobal seoul, which I can't have spent money on because I haven't touched my debit card in 2 weeks.

Now granted, is this a problem because I am always on wireless, or might I have a trojan? Should I reformat my computer? I'm just so scared I don't want to lose my BR right now, or any more of my bank account funds (I only hav elike 100 left after the fraud stole 300 from my account)

1) If you are positive that you didn't make those transactions, call your bank and cancel your debit card immediately. Challenge those 3 purchases.

2) If you think this is the result of a trojan you should reformat your computer and change every password that has any financial significance. This includes any poker accounts, bank accounts, e-commerce, and email accounts that receive poker, bank, or e-commerce emails.

you can contact the credit reporting agencies with a fraud alert.

You should not have to rebuy most of the poker software. Email Pat(PT) with the situation and your new product codes and your original code should work for PAHUD. Not sure if these are what you are refering to or what other programs you are running, but I wouldn't think you will have to rebuy any software.
