They most likely saw a bunch of charges from the same place at the same time and yours was one of them. They were probably card running and got caught.

Or the purchase was made online. I had that happen to me. I was in Detroit. A couple of weeks later an online purchase was made (from Detroit) and flagged.

Probably not; if I'm remembering right, the fraudulent purchase was at a gas station.
