Cashier Claims She Was ‘Tricked’

PALOS HILLS, IL — Two men reportedly conned a cashier into applying money onto a gift car without paying any money, Palos Hills police reports said.

Officers responded to a deceptive practice report at a store in the 10300 block of Roberts Road Feb. 25. The cashier told police that two men came in wanting to purchase gift cards.

Without displaying any cash, the cashier told police she was “tricked” into hitting the cash button, applying $495 on to the gift card. Both men left with the card.

It is unclear exactly how the men tricked the employee.
