Something similar happened to me in 1999 / 2000

We suspect that it was probably spyware planted on your computer from somewhere which harvested your details when you went online.

You need to do a thorough deep clean of your computer system looking for spyware and make sure you have a decent firewall to prevent further attacks
great advice!! also...and not directed at anyone...
don't use your credit card when buying hardcore Danish XXX porn online!!!!!!!!!!!


But if you do just tell your girlfriend that it was "probably spyware planted on your computer from somewhere which harvested your details when you went online" or less creatively " umm the Carphone Warehouse stole my details!!"
