As others have said, if it was for a 50" TV maybe a scam, the fact that its traceable to a person so easily suggests its more likely a bank error. It could even have been an over the phone payments and the insurance guy has hit the wrong number.
Very unlikely because as well as the 16 digit number on the front of the card there is a 3 digit security number on the back.To get them both wrong and for them to tally must be millions to one.
