New Credit Card Scam Warning!
I went to the local pool store yesterday. When I went to check out the new clerk told me that the credit card terminal was not working and that he would have to call it in for approval.

Then he told me to go ahead and swipe my card, which I thought strange since it was not supposed to be working. He then asked for my card and called someplace (probably his own voice mail) and read off all my card information and said OK its approved and he asked me to sign the supposedly broken credit card terminal.

The next morning I had all sorts of fraud alerts from my bank and someone had charged up over $1300 in fraudulent orders: $860 for a "designer backpack" at Nordstroms and $450 at Walmart.

If a checkout clerk says they have to call it in while still using the credit card terminal, run, don't walk away.

Re: New Credit Card Scam Warning!
go back to the store, take your receipt...they can trace it back to who the cashier was.

and, the store will take care of calling the police, too.

Knew a guy that worked at a restaurant that did this. Easily traced back to the person.
Did 5 years, I believe.

I don't care if it was a bitch or a dude and don't care how old they were. I'm a revengeful muthafucka. I would have made it a game and stalked the fuck out of them. Then, if this was a mall or whatever, find out where their car was and maybe even where they lived. Burnt the car while they were working, or burnt their house to the ground. Payback is a mutharfukin bitch!

Re: New Credit Card Scam Warning!
Been in & out of the c.c industry for years.

This does happen if the terminal goes down they have to get it approved over the phone.

They sometimes run the card through the terminal to save the info so later when they do a batch it will go through.

What was done is standard procedure.

It may have been a scam but doubtful.

Could be a fluke someone else might have ran these charges.

Get it tracked pointing the finger is not going to fix it.
