Pigsback Boots vouchers question...

To yorkshire pudding-clearly a person taking goods back once only on bogoff would not be arested,unless of course,the security staff from the various other stores had been following that person around /or had information and dates/times that the person had done this before.Towns have radio links and plain clothes staff probably would be well aware of a person doing this.Just because a person has been doing this unchallenged doesnt mean they havent been sussed, and is likely to be stopped when the circumstances are exactly right and a whole load of evidence obtained,Also many plain clothes staff go to work in a variety of different towns,yes people think if they do the same scam travelling to different towns and repeating the same scam,they cant get caught,but a person returning products which are or have been on bogoff would immediately catch the attention of staff and most probably be passed around the town on the radio link.If theres a scam 100 others have tried it first!Stores also have cctv and share images of suspects with colleagues and police.When i worked in stores its not uncommon for a person to do this at boots,then sainsburys then another store ie "my girlfriend bought these 10 bottles of suntan lotion,but shes cancelled the holiday.no i dont have the receipt."Police also can stop and question people on suspicion-so on balance this is probably not a wise way to make money.I repeat ,it is a criminal offence,obtaining money by deception.0
