ATTENTION ALL STAFF… every now and then a consumer who you have never seen before may come in and make a LARGE SUBSTANTIAL PURCHASE. You need to be keen to the fact that this may be a fraudulent credit card. JUST BECAUSE YOU GET APPROVAL FROM THE TERMINAL DOES NOT MEAN WE GET PAID. You have to be conscious of unusual buying patterns. Some signs of fraudulent use…
- Never asks the price of anything….price is irrelevant.
- Does NOT try to negotiate for a better discount because of his large purchase
- CARD DOES NOT SWIPE!! Must be manually entered. Do NOT take the card in this case!!
- Refuses to show his driver’s license!
In such circumstances…ASK FOR A DRIVERS LICENSE…MAKE A COPY. MAKE SURE THE INFORMATION MATCHES…ENTER THEIR INFO IN THE SYSTEM…ALL THEIR INFO…INCLUDING ADDRESS! IF YOU STILL HAVE ANY DOUBT….contact upper management ABE/MATT.
