I got an automated call asking to verify they were authorized by me and not fraud....they didnt call about the dozens of amazon orders in the last few days...they called about the Act Blue donation.....
do I need to get my foil hat out now?

But I also don't know whether stolen cards have been used for political donations.

That should eliminate the possibility that a third party was trying to get information from you
Most likely they just want to make sure you authorized the charge, especially if you hadnt donated through act blue previously
