Don't know if this is true, but take care.



CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT

I bought a bunch of stuff, over £150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of £40. I told her I didn't request a cash back & to delete it. She said I'd have to take the £40 because she couldn't delete it. I told Her to call a supervisor. Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it.. I said NO! Taking the £40 would be a cash advance against my Credit card & I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order. So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything! The second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of £20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came out right. The cashier agreed that the Electronic Pad must be defective.

Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad was defective because she NEVER offered me the £40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?

Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford , S********s last week. She had her items rung up by the 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 Sainsburys who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her this. 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 the next person in the queue.

Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!
This is NOT limited to Sainsburys; they are one of the largest retailers so they have the most incidents.
I am adding to this. My husband and I were in S********s 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 canceled 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!!!!!

THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE.. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE STAND. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO JUST THAT. NOW I'LL START!

We still have no snow here in 'South' Surrey but it is bl**dy freezing. Add to that the gas board are renewing our pipes in the street and into the house so no central heating plus our waterbed sprung a leak, I have bought a new liner but to properly empty the leaking one we have had to run a hose from the bedroom down and out the front door so we also have the door open and the water is trickling out very slowly. I wish I was in Goa.

We have plenty of snow here in the Northeast. Our local Asda store has had to close because it was hit by lightning (!) last night. Most major roads are closed in and out of the area. It is now snowing heavily again.

We still have family and friends living in the North East, maybe I'd better send food parcels!

We have just returned to UK; it was raining heavily when we arrived in Goa in September now snowing here in the Midlands. Already thinking of next trip (going back in March)

Snowing here in London but its mostly sleet.Interesting watching the cars doing the crab walk down the road.Crazy speeding in sleet condition's.!

Could you imagine if we had snow and ice out here, how the locals would drive, lost a few of my nine lives on the way back from Panjim this week, have seen some idiots driving but these three were .........

Been snowing here for over 24 hours. My heating is out of action courtesy of the gas board who are replacing gas pipes in the road and moving my gas meter for the second time as I objected to where they put it the first time - at the back or the under stairs cupboard where we would have to lie on the floor to read it, never mind the amount of junk I would have to move to get near it. Not long now before we leave for Goa thank goodness. No more Christmas's in the UK for me, next year I will be out there by November.

doncha just hate these 'my snow is bigger than your snow' arguments? <g>
