Also, you should in general not be liable for any fraudulent use of the number. Just dispute it. (my contract said I could be held liable for up to $50 of fraudulent use only in the case where the CARD was stolen and used prior to my reporting it.)

Right, but it's those poor schmucks who used their debit cards online as if they're credit cards that can get really screwed by this.
