Someone obtained my VISA card info online and my address and made two dollar online purchases of flowers. I called the flower company and actually got the name and address that the flowers were delivered to (in another city)as well as the email address the imposter used. They gave my name and address to the flower company as well as my card info.when ordering.
I called the bank and shut down my Visa debit card while they investigate for a refund.

This incident happened a few days after I signed up for an online stock trading company and gave them my account info (but not my credit card) for transaction verification. I am suspicious that someone hacked my information from them or some other recent online merchant.
How can I find out what company my info was stolen from to avoid dealing with them in the future.

Also,someone mentioned about filing a police report.
What good would this do? I feel uneasy that the criminal has my home address as well as my card number.(now canceled). Not sure I want the police forging any further link between myself and this thief.

What do you think?
Thanks.
