* BEWARE OF SCAMS *
We have encountered various scams over the years at the show. Most recently we had individuals trying to alter the price of a transaction. They will take the machine and change the price when you aren't paying attention. To combat this, please take caution and act on the following:
* Watch for sales of high ticket items, or a basket of items over the "tap" limit.
* Be wary of people who are buying high ticket items, or multiple items, and don't care to haggle, or care about the cost.
* Keep your cashbox or till in a secure place.
* Observe the transaction until completed.
* Provide a PIN/Passcodes to machine actions or alterations.
* Be observant! Watch the people in your booth and what they are doing
*****
Scams aren't common but they do happen. We urge you to take precaution and protect yourself from them.
