Survey: Who is aware of one of the latest scams involving credit/debit cards?

A co-worker goes shopping, the items rung up by a 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 the store who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for a bank and her niece told her, "This is a new scam going on. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is in the same queue.

Please, check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!

This is NOT limited to any particular store.

My friend added this ... My husband and I were in Sainsburys 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 cancelled it. We really didn't think anything of it until we read this email.

I wonder how many "seniors" have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????

To make matters worse ...THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!

BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT........CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!!!!
