SCAM ALERT!! WOMAN SHOPPER AT TARGET BARRANCA!
Last night an elderly gentleman friend of mine was scammed by a women at Target. She found him looking at items at Target and asked him if he would buy milk for her children. He wanted to help so he agreed and thought he was buying a few groceries for her. She was very good at keeping his attention while directing him to the self checkout. She first had him check out his purchases and while he was bagging them she scanned her purchases. She deflected him from seeing the receipt for the total amount. He only learned that the total was over $600 after looking at his credit card account. She is a VERY SMOOTH OPERATOR. She had a 'teenage daughter' distracting him as they walked out the store. The store says they have had this type of incident happen before.
BEWARE OF ANYONE ASKING YOU TO BUY MILK FOR THEIR CHILDREN AT TARGET! SHE DOESN'T WANT CASH BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO GET YOU TO THE SELF CHECKOUT AND SPEND WAY MORE MONEY THAN YOU PLANNED TO!! Person 1 Hair: Dark hair, Other: 50-60 years old. Said she was from the Ukraine.
