I've just received a "past due" invoice for the purchase of 250

I'm unclear as to how someone could pull this off.

Are you saying they used your info to apply for a credit card in your name?

If so, how could the card have been sent to any other address other than
the billing address? Did you get a bill from a credit card company?

It sounds like you're saying this was paper invoice from the FBO mailed to
your address. Why would an FBO sell on credit to someone that didn't have
an account with them?

I'm confused.



It's clearly not a credit card because the FBO wouldn't send an invoice
in that situation. Either you paid at the self serve pump with your
crad or you didn't get gas.
