I don't think changing credit card numbers or closing accounts is a good idea. I closed an account after a minor theft and forgery of one of those so-called "convenience checks" from my mail. Once I did that, the credit card bank completely disavowed that the account ever existed and refused to help me at all.
I really should remember, but it's been about 6 years now, and I forget. They'd probably sue me for libel anyway.

Simply, your card should not leave your eyesight. They also said its estimated that 70 - 80% of all credit card skimming incidents are occurring in restaurants by the person you hand your credit card to. Mark

I saw this story on Yahoo but couldn't remember where the thread was where it was being discussed... And we were supposed to trust the employees at restaurants... right...
