HAVE YOU ever check your receipt after paying by NETs before you leave counter? Mostly will answer NO to this question, I think. I also don't have such practice every time I make purchase. Recently my colleague who is also my compatriot received a call from DBS. He was surprised to learn that his account had been cut more than what he's suppose to pay. How does this incident happen to him?
One day he purchased a pair of jean on lion city's famous mall, Ion Ochard. It cost him about S$50 something only. But eventually he press pin number for over S$700 without checking screen amount. He also has no practice in checking bill and throw it away as usual. He didn't know until he receive a call from DBS. What if the sale person didn't inform to DBS for this incident? My friend would be a loser for his hard earn without even notice. All the staffs from office are amazed and score him for his negligence. Luckily he gets back his money and appreciate the manner of honest sale personnel from the shop.
Later one of our friends who has been working as a part-time sale promoter explained us that it used to happen to any sale personnel because they need to press different machine to complete transaction. One for their own account file and another to claim from respective bank. He continued that the sale personnel won't aware to rectify if the different amount is not much. In this case, the amount is vast and they take necessary action to prevent the shop's reputation. So we are advised to counter check on bill receipt before we press pin or after we receive the hard copy of bill. We should take extra care to prevent losing our hard earn money by these way. It's not hard to us to comply and why not we change the bad habit if any?
Hope you find this helpful to remind you some way.
