I could understand the credit card company coming after you to pay, but that
doesn't sound like the case here. I'm with the other poster who guessed
that it's a billing error by the FBO and will be resolved on Monday.

Good Luck,

Thanks for the kind wishes. This thing is really chapping my ass.
I'm a retired Air Force officer -- for twenty years my reputation
meant more to me than my life, and now I'm finding out that it still
may. I didn't sleep much last night.

There may not be a credit card company: crime rings manufacture pretty
good plastic blanks, complete with holograms, and they'll emboss and
encode them to your specs at, I'm told, a surprisingly low price --
especially if you're a high-volume customer. A gas-pump is a perfect
place to use such a fake.

I hope to God that this is just some innocent data-entry error. More
later.

I believe the issue can be resolved with minimal
expense and trouble.

So far, you have not been a victim of ID theft.

You may have been a victim of credit card fraud.
If the FBO verifies that a card of yours was
used, just call the 800 number on the back of
the card, explain the situation and they will
cancel it and send another one immediately. Over
the past 35 years, I've had to do this twice.
No big deal, minimal hassle.

If the FBO can't verify your credit card was
used, write a letter explaining why it wasn't you,
and send it Fedex Letter to the FBO owner. Keep
a copy and then forget about it.
