Anonymous Coward User ID: 49961647 United States 11/29/2016 10:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Sky Pilot 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. Go beat his ass. Discreetly of course. |

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!

I work up north in Jersey and some places can be sketchy as fuck... well anyway's I used my card at either a Quick Check or a Bodega and my bank would deny the transaction when I tried to make a purchase the following day. I would have to call it in to verify that the transactions that I just made were mine (Surprisingly, there was a big credit card breach in a lot of NJ Wendy's, but the one I went to wasn't one of those stores , it was neighboring stores) ... read it here: [link to www.nj.com] Long story short, The bank kept calling me each day notifying me about transactions that I knew I made were accurate (which they all were). Until, I woke up on Saturday morning to go to a Dunkin Donuts for breakfast and I noticed my bank sent me a text about account funds below average!? I checked my account and it had a $0 balance. Meanwhile, I'm stuck in drive thru at Dunkin Donuts ... I had to charge the damn $10 order with my credit card. It turned out some schmendrick from schmendrick-ville skimmed my card from the machine with a hacking device. Thankfully I got all my money back within 24-48 hours. Fraudulent Charges: $500 liquor store (you think they'd ID the buyer) $60 in gas $150 Walmart $100 Kmart $100 in misc items |

These people are professionals at it and I don't remember if it was at a cookie-mart or a quick check store so I would never had a strong lead and it would have wasted more of my time and work time to investigate it all. I closed my card got a temp then a new one. I`ll take the lost as a lesson to be wiser when it comes to paying with the card vs cash. |

And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.
