Wow. I have really learned a lot on this thread. I will definitely check my credit card receipt carefully. I have always checked before but now know different things to look for. Thanks so much for this valuable information.

Monday's Daily Sun had an article about a server at Margarita Republic being arrested for changing his tips. It sounds like this incident. He was reported to police by the resturaunt management.

No, Margarita Republic wasn't the place that did that to us.

Another source of Identity Theft to watch for when you give your credit card to server to pay. Make sure you get your own card back, there is a sceme where credit cards are replaced with expired cards belonging to someone else. The thief then has your good card.

twinklesweep,
The reason it is a scam is the "intent". Sometimes the server does it that way, on purpose, hoping the customer won't "catch" it. It often works!

Sure, the customer should check the bill, but as a customer in any establishment, the customer has the full right to expect honest interaction with the server, or whomever.

The reason for my post was to point out the need for the customer to, indeed, check the bill.

I hate to hear that there is more than one recent incident. Will certainly watch receipts in the future. Thanks for the heads up.
