So, xcandyman, was your card credited after you supplied the info? ;) Or did you just wait for the money to show up in your checking account?

Ohhh it looks like this ones done the rounds. I just checked their website and it says:

At 08.10.2003 the * team has blocked a number of accounts in the system connected with money laundering and credit card fraud activity. The information in regards to those accounts has been passed to our correspondent banks, local and international authorities.
As a result we have been a victim of numerous DDOS attacks over last couple of days and on top of that numerous spam messages have been sent to a data base of emails with our adress listed in as sender and various idiotic and illegal advertising.
If You have received a spam email which is supposed to be from us please contact us immediately at abuse@fethard.biz , please include the body of the message so we can identify the spamming IP adress and pass it over to authorities

Do we even believe that?
