Credit card fraud is pretty rampant. It does not surprise me that BofA requires you to call in a fraud case since, unless your card is canceled, it can be compromised again and again. I immediately call in fraudulent charges, have my card canceled and a new one sent.
I've had four incidents this year alone where either a Visa or an Amex was compromised.
There are any number of ways people can get your number.
