Honestly, no one should ever pay with debit. They don't even need to dupe your card with a swipe. The backends get breached all the time and numbers get out there. Only thing to do is watch your transactions and dispute what ever doesn't look right

Not worth it to report this then? Luckily the transaction was declined, but maybe footage of the attempts can be obtained.

I'd report it, you know your card is compromised now. Let your bank know and get a new one. You could file a police report and try to get footage, but it may not be worth the effort. Like it or not, its going to be considered a low priority case since nothing was actually stolen, you're not going to be out the money, and the chance the person is the one who actually stole the number is low. Its up to you, just don't get your hopes up too high about the store or police catching the person.

It depends on your usage. I had fraudulent charges show up on a card that I had only used once in 6 months, at a liquor store. I informed the bank of this fact when reporting the fraudulent charges, since it was the only possible place the card info could have been stolen from.
