Caught my first fake credit card today! go me
So some guy comes waltzing into Home E, no teeth and a loose loose tshirt and looks like he just came out from under a bridge. Not to common here we ARE located next to a bar.
He asks for three prepaid cellphones, about 15 batteries and some other stuff thats pretty cheap. Total? about 450 bucks.
He hands me his credit card and all I could think of 'are you seriouse?'
Problems with his card:
1.No name
2.No expiary date
3.The numbers where smooth on the card
4.The numbers where in black print
5.Card was made out of a different type of plastic, felt more like paper
6. A little dinky half smudged signiture on the back
Heres the fun part. I pretend to swipe it and tell him it didnt work. He tells me 'O at the petro can they had to punch it in'
I tell him in a very cheery manner that i'll do that no problem. Well, small problem see, in my store i needed to get the cashier supervisor to punch in any credit card numbers. This was a lie as i would never punch one in anyway but hey, he bought it. I told a friend to watch the till so i could get our 'cashier supervisor'
Unfortunatly our LPO wasnt on at the time
So i brought up our assistant manager. He asked for the guys ID, who didnt have any and decided to just leave. Our manager tailed him for a bit, reported the credit card, and got the guys lisence plate number.
450$ saved. I wish they where all that easy and dim.

They will ask you questions like "is there a problem?" ( yeah there is a problem) , I will always say no cause frankly, IMO, those customers who ask what the problem is are usually ones who are hiding something. That's what i think cause why would they ask that if I have a head cashier over? 
I know, cause they think some cashiers, tellers don't pay any attention to what they are doing.
