Thieves stole my debit card info through Chipotle app, left me their phone number. Can anything be done with this?
My debit card info was stolen through the Chipotle app and the account was used to make two $50 transactions on that card hundreds of miles away. The dumb scammers changed the phone number in the app, they must not have thought I still had access to the account. Can anything be done with this thief's phone number? After a quick google search it is NOT a robocaller or telemarketer number or anything like that.

Screen shot it! Then I'd contact the bank to see if they can reverse the charges. Then I'd file a police report, but likely, the police will just brush it off with "nothing we can do". I'd mess with them, at that point, since I had their number lol
I already spoke with the bank and got the card deactivated and got a new card being sent in the mail, and as of right now I do not see the charges on my account, so i don’t think I have to fight and dispute the charge. should i send it to the bank anyways? also i normally wouldnt care but since we’re in this subreddit, wouldn’t messing with them be harassment? not trying to be rude i just genuinely don’t know.
If the charges are gone, in which case, I'd just let it go - since they live far away. Sucks that fraud charges are only sought after, if they are larger amounts. If it were in the same town, and if the police were cooperative, you'd have a chance, but they'll likely get away with it.
yea thats what i figured, wasn’t sure if it’s even worth the effort of putting in a police report. i dont know why we’re getting downvoted lol if anyone else has a better idea i welcome you to leave a suggestion instead of downvoting merrygofrown’s legitimate recommendation. thanks for your help!
