We booked separately. He booked his own flight, I booked mine. I booked our room directly with Gail from Treehouse. So no, I wouldnt suspect that was the issue either.
Well, I'm sure the anti-fraud folks know what the scam is... they just don't know how the scammers selected or got you, or they DO know and keep their powder dry. Our card is protected and administered by the bank (USBank) and their anti-fraud contractor has shut the card down twice in the last 10 years. Neat thing is they shut it down and waited for me to call them... both times. They then asked me about a couple of transactions, which were minor probing types of charges, for a couple of $$. When I asked how these charges triggered the shutdown, they were very guarded and would not tell me. I'm very surprised that you got hit with such a large charge so suddenly... there may have been some minor probing activity leading up to the big score. You guys should ask your CC companies a few questions to see what they might say.
