EDIT: sounds like this was the result of screwy international payment systems rather than fraud, ignore this post. Thanks to everyone that helped explain.
Saturday evening, I attempted to purchase an r4 Gold from nds-card since it's recommended around here. I put the item in my cart and went to check out. I finished putting my info in, and got to an order confirmation screen showing my order number, total due, and a couple different ways to pay. I clicked on the option to pay by card, and was taken to another screen with my order number on it asking for my card info. I entered my info, and got a message saying "payment declined".
IMMEDIATELY after this, I got a fraud alert from my bank that someone tried to make a purchase of with my card in China for a totally different amount that my order total. Fortunately my bank suspended my card and the purchase didn't go through.
So uh..... Did I fuck up big time somehow, or is the "trusted retailer" around here a scammer?
