Identity Theft : The Victoria Edition

So I got a call from my Credit Union tonight. They've deactivated my card because it was compromised-- or used at a compromised location. They couldn't say where, they couldn't say when and they couldn't say by whom.
So, let's play "DATA BINGO!" Below is a list of places and times where I used my card in the last couple months. Did you get a call from your credit union? Are you a Blogger? How about you post a list of places you where you made purchases. Then, leave a link to your list in my comments for this post-- or better yet: post it with the tag of "databingo" to make it easy to find. I think the chances are good that if two or three bloggers post these lists we can dial in which place hires scammers or has practices so poor that their Interac terminals are behind a Magineaux Line of security.

One of these places on Vancouver Island hired a scam artist and you paid the price for their mistake. Help me narrow it down:

Damn. I'm sorry to read that, Mike. And they wouldn't tell you how it was "compromised?" I would think that you had a right to know that.
