Well, Gee, If A Random Phone Caller Says It's OK, It Must Be OK

This is an interesting scam: a woman went to a Dollar General store and said she was owed a refund of $530.92 because she was overcharged in a racial profiling incident had another store in the chain. And she said that the manager of the other store would call to confirm it. Sure enough, somebody claiming to be the manager of the other store called to confirm the story, so the refund was given. Of course, it was all untrue. But if you're the manager of the store giving the refund, wouldn't you make the call to the other store yourself, rather than trusting a call that was coming in? Everything about this woman's story should have set off alarm bells. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
