This has evidently been going on in Australia and maybe New Zealand, but I'm

sure that it has or will get to the U.S. too.

  CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT

An associate bought a heap of stuff the other day while on holidaying in

Melbourne (over $450), &   when he glanced at his receipt as the cashier was

handing him the bags. He saw cash out of $20.

 

He told her He didn't request any cash and to delete it. She said he'd have to

take the $20 because she couldn't delete it.

 

He told Her to call a supervisor. Supervisor came and said he'd have to take

it.. he said  “NO Bloody way!â€

Because taking the $20 would be a “cash advance†against his Credit card and

he 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 and re-scan everything!

The second time he looked at the electronic pad before he pinned in his number

and again cash-back of $20 popped.

 

At that point he told the cashier and she deleted it. The total then came out

right.

 

The cashier said that the Electronic Pad must be defective. Obviously the

cashier knew the electronic pad was defective because she NEVER offered him any

cash after either of the transactions.

 

Can you imagine how many people went through before him and by the end of her

shift how much money she pocketed?

His wife went into a “Coles Warehouse†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 the receipt and

the cashier seemed annoyed but gave it to her.

 

She didn't look at her receipt until later that night when back at their Hotel.

The receipt showed that she had asked for $20 cash. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR ANY

CASH, NOR WAS SHE GIVEN IT!

So she called “Coles†who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket

the money.

 

When back in NZ they then spoke with a friend who works for one of the banks;

they told them that this was a “new scam†that was bound to come to NZ,

especially around Christmas time.

 

The cashier will key in that you asked for cash and then hand it to one of her

friends when they next come through the check-out queue.

This is NOT limited to Coles; they are just one of the largest retailers so have

the most incidents.

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!!!

IT COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT.

.........

...CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!!!!.
