The mall office can't do anything for you. CALL THE COPS NOW.
not sure what do I say to police? since all I have is her taking my PIN down, dont have her on anything else them that, would they still take action based on just that?

they can file a report. then if anything further happens you have it documented. they can also look into any surveilance or see if anyone else who has had their card stolen has shopped at that location to tie it back to them.

OMG...that is terrible! Please keep us posted about what happens when you call corporate and the police. I made a purchase there on Saturday, so I will closely monitor my credit card. Thank you for posting.

You describe everything you told us.
If it helps, write it down and then call them.

Re: Gymboree shoppers be aware!!!
That is crazy. Glad you saw her do that.
Do you still need to change anything in case this person has a good memory?

Re: Gymboree shoppers be aware!!!
That is nuts!
But I have a potentiallly dumb question.
If someone has your pin number- say 1234 right- and they dont' have your actual, physical, debit card, what can they do with it?
I usually only use credit cards to shop - so I don't know much about how is works.
Can they use the pin to buy stuff online- without the physical card?

There are devices that can be placed on the machine that you swipe your card that take your card # (this is what happens on ATMS a lot). They can they create a fake card with your number and use it.
To the OP I would be LIVID and blasting them everywhere. It does sound like the manager was in on it as well. Please keep us updated.
And with that I am going to check my card that I used on my last shopping trip just to be safe.

Re: Gymboree shoppers be aware!!!
That is insane! I guess they are counting on people using their debit cards a lot more this time of year and not being able to pinpoint exactly where the info may have been stolen.
I would definitely file a report with the poilice. It may help the next person who's info is stolen.

Re: Gymboree shoppers be aware!!!
I also think the fact that they work in a children's store would make many people blind to their scam.
Even more reason to alert the authorities!

they make a fake duplicate card that can be used to swipe at a store/gas station....and as long as they have the Pin # anf the original card hasn't been cancelled they will be able to use the card. think about it, with a debit card you dont hand it to the cashier to swipe, you do it yourself. so the the cashier would never have an opportunity to notice if the card was real or fake.

Sounds to me like she may have had a skimmer and was stealing card numbers. Report it to the police
