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!!!
