Lost $5k + to a credit card hack, just before the first campaign.

Well, I joined here, went through the guides and other content. Got a VPS/proper setup and all was looking good and then bam...one day I see hell of a lot of transactions on my card and all of those were ATM withdrawals in Canada, while I was sitting in Dubai with my card.
When it ended, I had lost a little more than $ 5,000 in 2 days, had to get the card blocked and wait for a new one.

So now as I'm waiting for the chargeback case to finalize and hopefully decide in my favor and give me my hard earned money back, which can take upto 3 months, I don't really know what I can do to get some funds going so any ideas would be helpful.

I know some SEO and most of that money came from Amazon Associates Program, which has slowed down a very low level now, but I have been into IM for a long time now and know plenty of things. So is there a way I can some thing going like maybe work with some one else as a paid freelancer for their campaigns or something?

Don't even know if I'll be able to pay for my STM subscription for a couple of months :|

It's Payoneer http://www.payoneer.com
But I read this is normal for all Mastercard / VISA related issues...

Whenever I had fraudulent charges on my card, the bank credited the same day while they were conducting an investigation. May be different for debit cards, though.
