This has been around before I think.  I seldom use a credit card other than for an online
order or to buy fuel.  For those of you who do use one regularly, this is a good tip.

THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE,

AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!

It happened at a Wal- Mart Supercenter 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 the 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 & rescan everything!

The second time I looked at the electronic tab 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. (yeah, right!)

Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad wasn't 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 coworker 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 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!

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 is a new scam'.  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 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 did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has
been messing up and she canceled it.  We 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????

BEFORE LEAVING THE CASHIER'S STATION! ! !  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.
