THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE STAND.
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO JUST THAT. NOW I'LL START!
PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS, KIDS, LOVED ONES.

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 and 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 and said I'd have to take it. I said NO! I didn't want $40
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 I looked at the electronic pad before I
signed and a cash-back of $20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier

and 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 and at the end of her shift how much
money she pocketed?

Just to alert everyone. My coworker went to Milford , 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 coworker didnt '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 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
machine has been messing up and she canceled it. We really didnt '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!!!

BEFORE LEAVING THE CASHIER'S STATION!!!!!

THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT
BEFORE LEAVING THE STAND. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO JUST THAT. NOW
I'LL START!
PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS, KIDS, LOVED ONES
