"oh your cards not working.. let me have it and ring it in (gives ALL your details to his voicemail"

... comes back...

"they said your card is fine, but i should try resetting the machine"

... resets machine...

"oh look! it works now!... here you go enjoy your purchase"

.. still robs you blind.. but far less obvious...

lol
It's life as we know it, but only just.

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.

Re: 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.

Dang...not to be rude but what the Heck were you thinking? The RED flags were right in front of you.....

Because I had a good track record with that store and I trusted them. But this was a new guy that I have never seen before.
 Quoting: Sky Pilot


I understand, it is easy to be fooled when we let our guard down. From what you said I would think the owner would welcome your letting him know, after all, if this new person did it to you he will do it to the stores other customers. Lots of folks being hurt, bust the guy!

Go back to the "pool store", offer the proprietor the option to give you $2000, and live to see tomorrow morning's sunrise.
 Quoting: The Comedian :D


^this^

Remember keep your calm no accusations, record if possible any info they give you can use. (Keep in mind the business has defense on retainer)

If your wrong counter action could happen.

Take a witness and ask for the owner or manager.

I would be pissed but play it cool.

If it was them and they get busted the right way you'll come out ahead.

If it was not them, and the employee or company feels threatened, harassed, defamed in any way (not implying you would do that). But if they're a'holes they might try and counter.

Keep in mind if they offer no help or empathy and cop an attitude with you, they could be in on it. May be insulted because innocent so no matter what. Get legal representation or call the police, if your gong to confront further.

Nothing out pocket for me. The BoA Fraud alert prevented the transactions from completing. I even got a fraud alert call from Nordstoms about the $860 "designer backpack" and they were able to prevent it from shipping. They also have the name and ship to address of fraudster.

You really need to go to the bank in person fill out an affidavit and let the bank prosecute, I would also get a copy to the police it is likely this happened to others who may use different banks. They can bundle the charges. Police will also look for partners / others involved.

Op, let me tell you what to do. Find out who did this to you. Watch them at work. Find out their car. The next time they come in to work. Take a few bananas and a broom handle and shove the bananas up their tailpipe. Their car won't start, they'll be baffled. Anyone who comes to help them will be baffled, too. They'll have to get the car towed. Follow the tow truck. Now you know where their car is and they aren't going to be with it. Have fun!

 Quoting: Sky Pilot


It was years ago, but I was a programmer for credit card fraud.

In California, you have to have a huge amount of Credit Card fraud to even prosecute. The bank will take action if there is any to be taken. Reporting to the police is unlikely to do any good in CA. About as much good as telling Obama. But I would go back or call the store and tell the manager.

Good luck

Re: New Credit Card Scam Warning!
This happened to me at a Burger King. A new employee said the POS terminal was broke, so she took my card and swiped it on a terminal behind the counter. The next day the credit card company contacted me to ask me if I purchased a bunch of electronics in New York. I told them no I live in California. They cancelled my card and sent me a new one.

If he call the cops he and his family may end shot.

Btw once we found a wallet with a card and even the pin. I handled to the most sly sounding cops ever. Almost sure they would had used the card. Btw the fuckers asked if we did it.

You must be retarded to use someone else card and then look for cops to handle it to them...but anyway you are talking with mental people.

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.
