Is this the newest "urban legend'?  Don't know, but it can never hurt to be aware anyway!
 Info on scams saying you asked for cash back on your debit card or credit card.   Always check your receipts!
 
 
  
 
 Subject: Take Care at WALMART
 Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford DE Walmart 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 Walmart 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. There is a scam going on. The cashier will ask for cash back and hand it to her friend who is the next person in line.  Please, Please , please  check your receipts right away when using debit cards. The store has the cashier under investigation now. We can only pray that she is caught very soon.
I am adding to this.  My husband and I were in WalMart 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.  Please be aware.

[QUOTE=myrootbeerfloat]ConfusedShocked I am confused and shocked perhaps employees should be given a livable wage and a course in ethical business practices.ConfusedConfused[/QUOTE]

I agree with that theory/idea, however....it seems that no matter how much money some people make/have, they always want more. A famous quote from John Rockefeller has always stuck in my mind...
A reporter once asked Rockefeller, the richest man in the US at the time, just how much money is enough. The reply? "Just a little more..." Shocked

The less fortunate people among us should be able to make a decent living without resorting to stealing from others, but it isn't the case a lot of times....if those people would spend as much time trying to make an honest living as they do thinking of new ways to scam others out of theirs, the world would be a much better place. It's just easier to steal...AngryOuch
Whether it's someone that works at WalleyWorld, or the US government, seems like someone is ALWAYS trying to steal our hard earned  $$$...



Every day I learn I know less than I thought I did.
Every time something is made idiot proof. The world produces a better idiot!
