Check your receipts AT the cash BEFORE you leave!!!
"CASH BACK? " ....No Thank You!
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 cancelled 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!!!
