Swindlers use big notes, create confusion to cheat cashiers of cash
By Perry Lam,WNS Malcom Correspondent
MALCOM - Cases of criminals cheating cashiers of their cash are on the increase. Ten such cases were recorded last month, compared with six since the beginning of the year. The crime involves criminals asking to pay for small items with large notes. They then ask for the note back, saying they have a smaller note to pay for the item. In the confusion, the culprits manage to take not only their initial payment but the change for the payment as well.
In one case on September 9 at Malcom, a cashier was deceived when three men asked to pay for their food separately with $50 notes. A total of $140 was stolen. Police are advising cashiers to be alert and not to hand over cash until they have determined the correct amount of change.
