Those addresses are the fixed address locations for card transactions made online.
I bought some stuff off the schumacher site and shortly after i spotted a transaction for IWOOT for a few hundred and a single transaction from a mobile phone retailer.
The most worrying one i advise you look out for though is single transactions of £1 value to mobile phone retailers as this indicates they have run a URU authentication, and a successful one to validate your identity prior to conducting a credit check. To pass this check they must have skimmed both the address details and card details from the site in question.
This had also happened to me. On the plus side 1 phone call to my bank, a signature on a claim form and the money was returned to me in a few days.
Like i say though the damage they could do to your credit rating by taking mulitple mobile phone accounts is more dangerous.
