You guys are being too nice. Lets just say I wouldn't be nice if someone did this to me.

Call CCC immediately and ask for a new account number.  Don't waste any time. 

I was shoulder surfed at Newark Airport about 15 years ago using an ATT Calling Card.  When I returned from my trip 3 days later I had a message on my answering machine to call ATT.  When I got my bill there was a call made to someplace in Brooklyn 3 minutes after I made my call, and after that there was non-stop use of the card for the next 48 hours from every country in Central and South America until ATT figured there was a problem and shut it down.  About $700 worth of calls.  They didn't seem bothered by it and I was not responsible for it, but once a number is in play it is used rapidly.  I would hope the security systems are more robust now than they were 15 years ago.

I would definitely have asked why he took a pic of my CC, and made sure others heard what I was asking as well.  Then, I'd probably cancel the card. 

I actually was checking out someone's card yesterday in Home Depot, while he was checking out in front of me.  I wanted to see what CC he was using, because: a. it was a black card, and b. it had an airline's name on it.  I figured he was grabbing miles with his purchases.  See what these credit forums have done to me?  I'm starting to exhibit potential criminal behavior.

I'd be so startled that I'd accidentally elbow him in the eye. When he dropped the phone to grab his eye, I'd be very apologetic, coming to his aid and accidentally stomping on his phone several times for good measure, breaking it into little tiny bits. Then, mortified at my clumsiness, I'd give him my best motherly look (You know, the serene smile below the menacing evil eye that you give your kids when they're on the verge of cutting up in public? Don't act like you don't know what look I'm talking about!), "Oh, darn! Butterfingers for Sticky Fingers. That's okay, we can use my phone to call the police."

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! If he is wearing flip flops, go ahead and assault his toes too! lol!!!!!!

Seriously, I would probably look for the store security, or ask the clerk quietly to call security. Then let security deal with the guy. I am slightly hesitant to be confrontational as I am petite, only 5 ft tall, and would not like to get my  toes stepped on, or my  head elbowed by some 6 ft, 200 lb sleaze ball. 

Definitely would then call and report card stolen. The sleaze could have sent the pic of cc in a text message to his cohort and your card could be used somewhere before you even get out of the store!
