credit card fraud

hi my sister got into a situation at one of her former employers...where she was using ppls credit card numbers to purchase gift cards....equaling a total of 2,200 dollars and at the time of her getting caught with security she had givin them back 732.00 worth of gift cards which the security said was going to get credited off the 2,200 this was a year ago and they still didnt credit her that money....so should she get credited for that i mean she didnt spend the money.. they put it back on the peoples accounts and there is not 732.00 worth of merchandise takin from the store...so why would she have to pay money back that she did not spend and was givin back to the credit card holders???

I think she should either talk to the PO again or go straight to the Judge -

Who took possession of the gift cards when she turned them in?

She originally stole it and that's what she's charged with.

It's just a matter of phrasing but she didn't get into a situation - she stole.


well the security guy specifically told her she would get credit for the gift cards...it doesnt matter if she stole 2,200....she did not spend that she gave it back and it was put back the persons card so its like she didnt take it so shouldnt she jus be paying for what merchadise she took from the store.... he even told her at the time as well to bring back any clothing or anything that still had tags on them or at least never worn or whatever for her to credit for that too.....so i guess he would have takin that stuff too and not givin her credit..its a good thing she didnt...but hopefully this will all be settled by her next PO appointment

My question was - when she turned in the cards, who took possession of them? Store security? The Police?

Daniella,

Very often we need additional information to provide accurate advice. Without that information we can't help you. I've asked you twice now what makes your sister think she isn't getting credit for the cards she returned? Judy has asked you who did she turn the cards into. If you aren't going to address our questions we can't help you.
