"CASH BACK" - Beware Oh great!!! Here we go again!!! 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 cas hier &
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!!!
