>>Most will not give you any money back unless an auditor can confirm if the refund was legit."<<
Somewhat related topic...I recently had my credit card stolen. It was a somewhat unusual situation in that it was at a doctors office, I was getting ready to pay the copayment amount for services, had my card in hand, when the billing clerk checked the account and said...."don't worry, you have a credit balance, so no payment is necessary." I laid my card down along with a prescription and some other papers, was distracted, picked up my papers and left the card when I left. The office called me the next day and left a message on my voicemail (later the next day) and I returned the call the next morning, indicating that I would be by to pick up my card.....At that point the receptionist put me on hold, came back and said that while she had seen the envelope with my name with the card inside, now she couldn't find it. I told her to check with office manager and call me back. She didn't.
Long story short...someone in the office stole my card and ran about $1000 of charges. Now the kicker is this...I have no liability, the doctors office has no liability, the charges will be paid to the vendors, and last but not least, the THIEF will have no liability.
CitiBank says they will not prosecute because it costs "too much"...but I guess I should feel encouraged know that retailers are trying to stay on top light bulb refund fraud.. |
