Had the same thing happen on a credit card a few weeks ago, the cc company alerted me to it, asked if I made a $6 ip phone call, then another larger charge.
Like you said, they try a small charge to see if it works, then go for more.
I don't know how they got my cc number, with all the major retail and others getting hacked into over the last few years, who knows.
