I
bought a bunch of stuff, over $150, & I glanced at my receipt as
the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of $40. I told
her I didn't request a cash back and to delete it.
She said I'd have to take the $40 because she couldn't delete it. I told her to call a supervisor.
The second time I looked
at the electronic pad before I signed and a cash-back of $20 popped up.
At that point I told the cashier and she deleted it. The total came out
right. The cashier agreed that the Electronic Pad must be defective.
Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad was defective because
she NEVER offered me the $40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many
people went through before me and at the end of her shift how much money
she pocketed?
Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Walmart last week. She
had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and
didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the
cashier was annoyed and gave it to her.
My co worker didn 't look at her receipt until later that night. The
receipt showed that she asked for $20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR
CASH BACK!
My co-worker called Wal-Mart who investigated but
could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece
who works for the bank and her niece told her this: This is new scam
going on . The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in line.
Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!
This is NOT limited to Wal-Mart, although they are the largest retailer so they have the most incidents.
I
am adding to this. My husband and I were in Wal-Mart North Salisbury
and paying with credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card
signer he just happen to notice there was a $20 cash back added.
He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said
machine has been messing up and she canceled it. We really didn 't
think anything of it until we read this email.
I wonder how many "seniors" or busy Moms/Dads have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????
To make matters worse ...THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!
