It happened at Wal-Mart (Supercenter Store #1279,
10411 N Freeway 45, Houston , TX 77037 a month ago.
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 & 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.
Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it. I said NO! Taking the
$40
would be a cash advance against my Discover & I wasn't paying
interest on a
cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to
delete the
whole order. So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole
order
& re-scan everything! The second time I looked at the electronic pad
before I
signed & a cash-back of $20 popped up. At that point I told the
cashier
& 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 & at the end of her shift how
much money
she pocketed?
Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford , DE Wal-Mart
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 a 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 this 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" 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!!!
