Fraudulent charge, what else should I do?

see317see317 Registered User regular
Checked my credit card statement, saw an unexpected charge from iTunes for $99.99
Extra unexpected since I don't have an iTunes account and have no apple products.

I've contacted Apple support, but since I don't have an iTunes account to track back any charges, they weren't able to help.
I've contacted Capital One and initiated a chargeback there and fraud proceedings as well as cancelled this card and gotten a new one issued.

I'm thinking I'm good here, but want to know if there's any additional steps I should take at this point?

    Check your overall credit report to make sure therrs nothing else weird going on (like cards opened in your name) and look back for other charges in the past that might have been fraudulent.

    Thanks, I checked it through Credit Karma, and don't see any new accounts opened. But the charge in question was only put in yesterday. Not sure how fast reports get updated, but I'll definitely keep an eye on that.

    The data required to apply for a credit card isn't related to stealing the number and security code of a card you have so I wouldn't worry about it though it never hurts to check. You've done all you need to do which is contact the fraud department for the credit card.

    That's not a real credit report. Your free annual actual credit reports are available here - https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action (you get one free per year from each of Equifax, Transunion, Experian).
