CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING ANY CASHIER'S STATION!!

THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE CASHIER.
PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS, KIDS, LOVED ONES.

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.

The 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 next 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 said that the electronic pad must be defective. (Yeah, right!)

Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad wasn't defective because she NEVER offered me the $20 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 coworker went to Milford , Delaware 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 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 AND DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY!

My coworker 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 this.... My husband and I were in Wal-Mart North Salisbury , and paying with a credit card. When my husband went to sign the credit card signer, he just happened to notice there was a $20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he didn't 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 e-mail.

I wonder how many "Seniors" and others, 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!

THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU TOO. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE CASHIER!
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO JUST THAT, NOW I'LL START!

PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, & LOVED ONES!
WARN EVERYONE NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, AND THEY GET STUNG!

Looks like this one goes down as an email scam on a scam.
Almost as bad as the commercials that will go away on November 3rd, 2010

The Walmart story about the cashier who kept trying to scan the divider stick was false too.

Along with the Hooters waitress who cried for not getting a wedding invitation to her own wedding, BooHoo.

I still check my receipts.
