Not Amish or mormon....

Unfortunately, wrongdoers consist of the market.

I'm struggling with that one.

Judging by the quality of many of the people working at Walmart, I am sure tricking them was not an overly complex task.

I am unable to read tyhe tiny font at the link (and don’t like MSM anyway). Can you tell us what the scam was, how the shoplifting (sounds more like shop trucking) took place?

I didn’t think the receipt printed out until you paid. Was $6k put on their cards then refunded?

[Deaf Smith]

Why didn’t you excerpt the meat of the story instead of prompting for hits to msn to “read more”?

A really poorly written article. Regardless, if they present valid credit cards linked to accounts they owned, one suspects that they may eventually be traced.

My daughter used to work at Computer City, in customer service. They had a pretty liberal return policy. One day, a guy came in and returned a “brick”, not the computer he had purchased, but an older, much less capable model. My daughter did not process the transaction, but did remember the customer’s name and address from seeing his driver’s license. (Even though the person processing the order did not write it down.) After the customer had obtained his refund and left the store, some “alert” employee noticed the discrepancy, and called the cops. My daughter gave them the customer’s information. The cops called him (in a neighboring in town) and he quickly returned the merchandise.

When they went into the Grovetown, GA Walmart, they confused the cashier. They made several card transactions, allowing them to make off with products. Asking the cashier to allow them to press the “cash” button, it seemed as if they paid cash for their items. As a result, their credit cards were not charged, and they left with $3,400 in merchandise, along with $3,000 in gift cards.

This is the scam (click the link for an article).

I can’t figure out how they did it, either.

Thanks for the link. The cards must be fake from the get-go, so one would think the machine wouldn’t play along ...

“Several different crews have been identified as operating this type of scheme, and all of them have been from the Flint, Michigan area.”

This is a poorly written article. MSN? Do they pay people for this? I could be a writer.

Re the article. Get to the point, MSM. What? In addition to fake news, lies and misdirection, there's also a class in beating around the bush?

I get it. You've got to fill space. But maybe you could do it with actual information.

Rant off.

Must be something in the water in Flint.

The unnamed couple in the photos above are 19-year-old, Jaylan Griggs. The woman is unidentified.

I believe the term for this scam is now referred to as “hack”?

I can write rambling nonsense as well as anybody.
