There is a "formula" to your credit card number. You cannot just change a single number and get someone else'e card. Unless you messed up a lot of the numbers, and were very "lucky", I doubt you entered someone else's number (besides the do some check verse the name or at least the zip code)

A credit card being mis-charged happens all the time a variety of ways. If there was an incorrect charge the other card holder would catch it, call the card company and have the charge reversed. Then your company would call you and say we need a good payment.
There are some audits that can happen, the billing company may compare your last name and zip code to that on file with the credit card company, or if a cable bill in NJ is paid for by a cardholder living in AZ, who has never paid that bill before, the credit card company computer may flag the transaction for review.
Call your credit card company tmrw to verify the transaction went through.

Quite unlikely, but if you're really worried, then call back the company and confirm with the card that you used, though it may take up to 24 hrs for them to process the transaction, they should be able to let you know what card # they used.

Call the company and tell them you want to comfirm that you entered the correct credit card number.

If you entered the number, and the security number on the back, you don't have anything to worry about.

If you entered a number and an expiration date, then you have almost nothing to worry about.

The odds are incredibly small that you did that.

Contact your credit card company to see if the amount was billed.
