What if.....

Your standing in line at best buy, buying your hello kitty mp3 player... and as your about to swipe your super sexy new visa rewards card... you notice some creepy guy behind you taking a picture of your credit card with his cell phone!

 

What would YOU do??

Re: What if.....

i love to be mean to rude people. I would ask "what do you think you're doing creep?!?!?" very loudly so everyone can stare at him and give him the disgust look.

 

haha

 

Then I would cancel my card ASAP, he may have the credit card number on his camera now.

I would have asked the teller to call security/police and I would file a police report against said creep. Then I'd report my CC as stolen.

Twin, cough, uh huh.

In all seriousness, I'd call the CC company and tell them what happened.  I'm guessing they'd advise you to report the card lost/stolen.

 

Would I confront the freaky photographer?  It would depend on my mood, I guess.  I can picture myself asking something like, "What did you do that for", rather than accuse right off the bat.  Or make some joke to the cashier about how you accidentally pulled out a closed CC and then grab for another one.  Who knows.

Re: What if.....

Unfortunately this is troublesome.

 

This person may have taken a picture of your card and use it for fraudulent purposes.

 

I would definitely call your CC and report this situation.

 

Request to receive a new account number and have the other account close.

 

Even if you are paranoid, this will give you peace of mind and will avoid time and paperwork later.

Re: What if.....

Actually the point of this thread is that people actually do this, take a picture of your card and use it online.  So assume that this guy IS taking a pic to get your account number, not just because your new visa is so sexy!

 

And when your checking out anywhere, make sure someone doesnt have there cell out behind ya!
