[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 458752, member: 1514"] Jody, that was a real problem and one of the reasons that the electronic cards came out as soon as they were able. The Fraud investigators got soooo tired of watching tapes of people buying bubble gum 10 times in a half hour just to get a bottle of cheap wine. It was disgusting. When the EBT cards came out, we were thrilled! We could actually see people's transactions and what they bought and then the times. You could actually tell if it appeared someone was selling their benefits at the same store. Like if Bobby goes through register 1 and buys $100 worth of food at 12:30 then his card swipes again at register 3 at 12:35 for another $135 then I seriously doubt he could have run back in the store and shopped for that amount of food. Now if he just swiped another $10 or $20, yeah, that could be a forgotten item he quickly remembered. We all do that. But the unusual patterns were stuff we looked at then we went back into stores and watched the tapes over the cash registers to see exactly what transpired. Then came the interviews! What fun....lol.
