Just called the lost or stolen number and it's the same thing no customer service available after 6pm.

It's not that hard. $10 card reader and some readily available software is all you need to duplicate a card. You don't even need a computer nowadays. Smart phone will do it just as well. The more difficult part would be getting your PIN number. Don't give out your PIN number. Don't use your debit card places that are well known to be easy access like gas stations for key loggers to be installed when no one is around. Put your hand over the keypad rather than pecking it with one finger.

Seems like nonsense and a lot of risk to the bank. What bank is it?

I have never heard such a thing, cards and information are stolen outside of day business hours.

Google the bank or card distributor and see if you can find an 800 number that is 24/7.

THIS. Seriously. Use credit cards or cash. NEVER use a debit card. It's too risky.

I just called this number from their site 888.742.5272


Option 4 lost/stolen card

Then option 2 and it transfers you to have a block placed on your card. I'm not sure how old you are but this seems like common sense that most adults could get through
