I'm genuinely surprised they can't flag the charger as fraud and decline future payments.
They can certainly "charge back" the charges though, or they should be able to, which will not only get your money back but hurt whoever charged it (there's a strict limit on chargebacks for credit cards and could get an entire business blacklisted from that processor).
Although usually the best thing to do is just report the card as stolen and get a new one sent - that should solve the problem immediately, no?
Personally I consider using credit cards to "be" a lot of the protection I use. Credit cards and card companies (and banks) are usually extremely helpful making sure nothing screwy happens, and fixing it when it does. Cards typically offer more protection than almost any other method.
Sorry to hear your troubles - I'm surprised your card company isn't being more helpful. Look into the stolen option - you'd have to update everyone on the new card but it will stop all payments to the old one for sure.
