Seems the harder you try to protect yourself and your money, there is someone out there intent on taking it.

Here is the latest scam reported in three different cities all distant from each other:

You go into "Big Box Retailer", stand in line and when you pay, you press the button to verify your purchase. Did you really look closely at the dollar amount? Did you get a receipt AND look at it?

Chances are, once you walk out of the store, it is too late. You have been scammed. The cashier has already added another $20. on to your tab, put the money in her pocket and you are out the door before you discover you have paid a LOT more for that purchase than you intended.

Think it won't happen. It is going on now and despite the fact that WalMart is a stand up company with a lot of integrity, it seems there are reports that this is occurring around the US at.... you guessed it... Wally World!

Can't be too trusting when you go to a store, restaurant or whatever. This is likely the first installment of a trend that should put you and all your friends on your toes. Watch out, READ your receipt and Buyer Beware! John Mauldin, AC Furnace Filters | Water Filters
