Read Before Signing!
Pass this message on to all senior citizens, who may not see too well , “you must check your sales receipts – for double charges!”
And when must you check your receipt? “Before you sign!” Since I have never heard this spelt out so emphatically, we seniors must now be aware of “merchants who aim to deceive and defraud!” How? By distracting us!
When you are purchasing a few items – have an idea of what the total bill should be . So, when you are given the total, and your bill is much higher – check your receipt , immediately. Because, if you sign the receipt and walk out of the store – you “Okay’ed” everything on that receipt, even if you did not receive the items!
With times as they are, today, some merchants engage you in idle conversation, and items that have been rung up, are put on the side of the counter, to be rung up again. While you are looking at the thief – your eyes are not as fast!
