Sorry this has happened to you, Scott. One of the dangers of our tecnology driven world is that others may be able to gain access to our personal information. I hope things get fixed quickly for you. However, you should know that it is very dangerous to use your ATM card for making online purchases. Your agreement with your bank and ATM card are very different from Credit card agreements. As Tom said, this happens daily to the tune of billions of dollars and may or may not have been the result of an online cigar purchase.
