You think ap can reverse the payment? Or void those gift cards?
I was wondering that too, if they could post void the receipt and deactivate the GiftCards

Lol if it were me I would tell them i hit k1 but actually not and let them realize... Ideally it'd be a credit card and it would charge them before they realized since we don't need a signature. Then I'd tell AP.They didn't 'pay' for them.
They tell the cashier it's a 'cash' card & to hit K1 as they swipe a dummy card.
The drawer pops open because the register is expecting a cash payment; the card has NO bearing on it.
Only a savvy cashier would catch it so I expect 2/3 of our checklane team to get stung.
They can but chances are they used them up already.You think ap can reverse the payment? Or void those gift cards?
Or if anyone is buying $3000 in gift cards that may be a good time to call AP as well. Anything GC related over $500 I call GSTL. Legit guests always understand. Scammers will try to convince you not to or abandon purchase.If a guest tells you to press any button, and is insisting, call your LoD, report it to AP, etc.
From my experience, once those numbers on the back of the GC's have been used the money is gone.You think ap can reverse the payment? Or void those gift cards?
Any $200 dollar and up iTunes purchases and I will start asking questions. Some of the people I have stopped from being scammed have been told to purchase $300 to $400 worth of GC's. Sometimes they are told to purchase them from different stores in increments of $200. This adds up very quickly.Or if anyone is buying $3000 in gift cards that may be a good time to call AP as well.

I was told that we’re not allowed to check ID at least at my store, but a lot of times if it’s super sketch, I still ask or I’ll discretely hit K8 right after they put their card in and cancel it and tell them it didn’t go through.We used to have to check that ID and name on CC matched for GC purchases over $100. I don't work GS as much so is that not a thing anymore?
So I don’t understand, they bought gift cards worth $3000 and paid you $3000, where is loss to Target ? And hownhow is this a scam? If they paid cash?

To be honest the cashier training Target offers is......eh
THIS. I would say 80% of scammers will abandon their purchase if you mention a manager.Or even just saying I need a manager to approve this high of a giftcard purchase usually scares most scammers off.
Like when those people were calling to have you ‘check your registers’ during that gift card scam nd you mentioned needing to double check with a manager, they hung up.THIS. I would say 80% of scammers will abandon their purchase if you mention a manager.
So when I get up there, I find it hard to turn on my blinker.
THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I can't speak for every GSA, but I know that when I'm watching the lanes I'd rather respond to a thousand blinkers about basic questions than have any cashier get taken advantage of by a scammer. Please ask questions!
If you hit K1 again, yes.This is new to me... if you hit enter at the "how much in cash?" prompt it will auto-fill in exact change?
