Default Someone Stole My Credit Card Number

So I get a credit card statement from a card I haven't used in a year... The card expired a month ago, and they sent me a new one, but I never took off the sticker or called the number to activate it.... Today on the bill, I was charged $9.95 from some weird company, the telephone listed is a (270) area code, but it had "NY" next to it. I called the CC company because I don't remember charging or even USING the card...

Me: "I have a question regarding my bill"
Him: "What's the problem?"
Me: "Well, I received my statement, but I haven't used my card in well over a year"
Him: "We ask that you first contact that vendor/store and verify that the purchase wasn't made with your authorization"
Me: "Uhm, I keep track of my purchases, I know what I buy, and uhm, I never activated my card"
Him: "Hmm, oh, yes...."
Me: "I think my number is stolen and I just don't want to be charged larger amounts in the future "
Him: "So, would you like to claim it as being stolen/lost/fraud?"
Me: " :doh: YES "

I suggest you guys to check your statements, this happened to my mom not too long ago also.

BTW, it's VISA.
