I had a similar problem with a website that sells t-shirts. I signed up for a particular t-shirt campaign, providing my credit card number. The campaign didn't get enough joiners, so was cancelled. A few months later, I have to get a new number because of fraud elsewhere. Fast-forward a year after that t-shirt campaign and now I'm seeing a charge for the shirt. Um ... no? I call the bank and they immediately reverse the charge. But oddly (I thought at the moment) the agent on the phone mentions how they'll let previously used merchants continue to charge on the old number. I contacted support for the t-shirt folks, and they acknowledged that they'd re-initiated the campaign, found they had enough takers, charged folks, printed shirts and were sending them out. I asked about email notification. Oh, yes, of course they sent email notifications. The date on the email I finally received (four days later) was dated two days after the charge appeared. I still received a t-shirt and the charge didn't reappear.
