I'm holding the letter in my hands and it says Amazon. I also rec'd my new card in the mail yesterday, so I know that the letter is legitimate. I will follow up with my credit card company on Monday and see if the affected company was named in error. Could happen I suppose...
What I do know is that I have ordered thru Amazon but never thru Egghead.
