Thanks. you couldn't think of this on your own? no wonder this country has gone to shits. |

User ID: 1606022 United States 11/29/2016 06:15 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. 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. 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! FACTS Don't Give a DAMN about your FEELINGS! |

Go back to the "pool store", offer the proprietor the option to give you $2000, and live to see tomorrow morning's sunrise. ^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. |

(OP) User ID: 72228800 United States 11/29/2016 06:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you for posting this OP and ignore the childish idiot comments. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59168076 Hope you get your money back, OP, and the thief goes to jail. Glad you are reporting it to the police, for all you know he's done it before. 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. |

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! |

The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it. "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." - Thomas Paine The only thing the Illuminati fears is an independent person who can live, eat, sleep, stay warm and defend themselves separate from Federal help. Pray that the Lord gives us more time! The End is near and time is short! A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. ~Proverbs 18:2 For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle" - James Keller Checkd, Keked, and Rekt! #Kids2 |

User ID: 73020030 United States 11/29/2016 07:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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 |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 7560996 United States 11/29/2016 07:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

You want him to do this to other people?????????? Quoting: Lisa*Lisa 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'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! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73038345 Lol now we're talking.. |
