In today's article I will talk about Three Reasons Why You Should Always Collect Your Sales Receipt After Shopping at the checkout. It would seem that a check is an ordinary piece of paper that you have to throw away when you come home, but this approach can lead to very unpleasant situations. Now I immediately put the check in the bag, all the more it's not that hard.
1. On the check, if you paid for the goods by credit card, are displayed 4 last digits of her number, also in many cases it is written your first and last name (on the check in the photo, there was no name). This information is enough for scammers, they can through their channels (databases, social. network, maybe something else) find out your number and try to deceive you. For example, they can introduce themselves as bank employees, say the day and time when you bought the products (written on the check) and play out the scenario that the payment did not go through or, on the contrary, went through twice. The main thing in such cases do not provide any information, especially codes received via SMS.
2. Scammers who get hold of your check can go to the store and take the same products that you bought. Many people think that this happens only with expensive equipment, but it turns out with products it happens even more often. Store employees themselves can pull off such a scam.
3. Well, the most commonplace why you need to take a check is warn yourself against deception. Unscrupulous cashier, maybe count any position twice, especially if you are taking a lot of positions. Also, it can happen by accident, due to the carelessness of the employee. And if the label is crumpled or the goods are sold by weight, then the cashier herself enters the barcode numbers, one inaccuracy and extra tens, or even hundreds of rubles from your wallet. Viewing the check after purchase will save you from overpayments. If you liked the article - like and subscribe to the channel!
