Read this note very carefully. I did not know about the
clear button, but I will be pushing the clear button before I swipe my
gas or debit card and after just to be safe.
People are getting
really desperate due to the constantly rising gas prices. A friend just
told me about something that happened to one of his coworkers. She used
her credit/debit card to purchase gas at the pump (like most of us do).
She received her receipt like normal. However, when she checked her
statement, there were 2 $50. charges added in addition to her purchase.
Upon investigation, she found out that because she did not press the
'clear' button on the pump, the employee inside the store was able to
use her card to purchase his/her own gas on HER card!
To keep
this from happening, after you get your receipt, you must press the
'CLEAR' button or your information will be stored until the next
customer inserts their card. Be sure to tell all your friends/family so
that this doesn't happen to them!
(**I had never noticed the
clear button but I got gas the other day and sure enough it is there. I
will be using it from now on....)
Be safe ladies
