casino void where prohibited visit spinquest.com for more details uh all right so i got i want to

00:01:52 - 00:03:37 | Speaker 2:

do this as a topic because i think this could be a a good one it's mojo on the morning show i want to ask you what your scam is like what's the scam that you do because you know and this is different than the topic that we did of you know what are you doing to save money so yesterday i went to target and i was buying laundry detergent and we were chelsea wanted liquid tide okay okay and i'm you know talking to the guy at the target actually megan you heard me because we were on the phone at the time yeah and the guy at the target i was saying to him i'm like hey you know what's funny is i've gone like in my car and when i got into my car you know the tide uh liquid stuff will like fall over and it ends up you know spilling all over the place because the the caps aren't tight and he says to me he goes yeah he goes you know we have a problem with that and i go with the caps and he goes no what people have been doing lately at target and I'm sure they're doing it at other stores too, and this is their scam to kind of make a little bit of money or not have to pay for something. They're buying liquid laundry detergent or softener. They buy it, go home, use it, and then they fill up the bottles with water or some other cheap liquid substance, a lot of times mixing it to make it look like it's actually the thing, and they return it and get their money back. And then what ends up happening is The stores are putting them back on the shelves And some people are going to use Their laundry detergent And it's water that's inside of the thing So I heard that and I go wow that's crazy And I know we had that guy that called us up And says he kind of like shifts Well he's not putting water in it

00:03:37 - 00:03:41 | Speaker 7:

He's filling his up all the way With the other laundry detergent in the store

00:03:41 - 00:04:29 | Speaker 2:

But now I'm thinking whenever I buy something like that I'm opening it up ahead of time and I'm looking inside to see exactly how much is in it but yeah yeah so i want so i know that that's obviously a scam that's probably saving a person who knows i mean laundry detergent's expensive but depends on how much you're washing your clothes what's your scam what's the thing that you are you've been doing that nobody else knows about we even have a voice disguiser machine it's kind of like a little bit of confessions like we've done before in the past in our show when we did confession wednesday on the show where people will call up and give us a confession of something that they're doing that they haven't even told a friend about because they don't want their friend to judge them thinking that they're a scammer. I love this. The people who have scams that do scams I kind of actually

00:04:29 - 00:04:35 | Speaker 7:

respect you. I mean some of them are like that is genius. I can't do it but it's genius.

00:04:35 - 00:04:41 | Speaker 2:

Megan, not that I respect that they're doing the scam. I respect that they took the thought to do the scam.

00:04:41 - 00:04:43 | Speaker 7:

That there was creativity involved? Yes.

00:04:43 - 00:04:54 | Speaker 2:

Like there were things that were going through their mind where they sat there and said, you know what? I'm going to buy this and then I'm going to return it with water inside. Yeah. It's like, how do you think of that?

00:04:54 - 00:04:57 | Speaker 3:

Because you're not the guy that grabs the... I understand laundry, though.

00:04:57 - 00:05:04 | Speaker 2:

I would be the guy that grabs the one that's just water. It's like I said. I'm not saying that the scam is good. I'm saying the thought of the scam is good. What's that?

00:05:04 - 00:05:24 | Speaker 1:

I wasn't going to call you out, but now I am. I believe when this happened on the phone yesterday, I said, good for them. I said, good for that person. They flipped the system. And you said, how dare you? And then we go on the air and you go, I'm pretty proud of them. That was pretty smart. No, no, no. You scolded me for that yesterday.

00:05:24 - 00:05:34 | Speaker 2:

You heard what I just said. I don't think that they should follow through with the scam. Just think of the scam. Come up with a scam. Just don't follow through with it. Remember, it's karma. We'll come back and bite you in the ass. Vanessa?

00:05:36 - 00:05:36 | Unknown:

Yes.

00:05:36 - 00:05:41 | Speaker 2:

All right. What's your scam? Hold on. I need, like, scam music or something like that, don't you think?

00:05:41 - 00:06:10 | Speaker 3:

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. So there's an app called Fetch Rewards, and every time you go to the store, you scan your receipts, and you can get points based off of that, and then you get gift cards based on how many points you have. So I'll go to the store, buy all these products, and they run promotions. You get X amount of points if you buy Clorox products. So I go to the store, buy all these products, and then I turn around and return all the products, and I get a free Starbucks gift card every time.

00:06:11 - 00:06:13 | Speaker 2:

How much is the Starbucks gift card for usually?

00:06:14 - 00:06:18 | Speaker 3:

5,000 points for like $5 or something like that.

00:06:18 - 00:06:22 | Speaker 2:

Okay. But they don't ever check, huh? They don't ever come back to you and cancel your account.

00:06:23 - 00:06:31 | Speaker 3:

Right. I had a lady ask me, she goes, why are you returning all these products? I'm like, well, I just don't really need them anymore. I literally go from the checkout to the return.

00:06:31 - 00:06:33 | Speaker 2:

Are you a good Christian woman? You don't sound like her.

00:06:38 - 00:06:40 | Speaker 5:

Totally stopped very abruptly.

00:06:41 - 00:06:43 | Speaker 2:

Jessica, what's your scam?

00:06:44 - 00:07:08 | Speaker 5:

Good morning. I do not like paying for shipping, especially at places through Target where it's like a minimum of $35. Yes. So I'll add all of it to my cart, you know, I'll match the limit, and then I'll check out, and then whatever I want shipped, I'll have shipped, but I'll cancel the other items off of my, you know, order, and then you'll get it still shipped for free.

00:07:08 - 00:07:11 | Speaker 6:

Wait, that, see, you know that. They don't readjust it? It's brilliant. No.

00:07:12 - 00:07:21 | Speaker 5:

They don't? I just had something delivered a couple days ago, and I got $15, like, shipped to my house, no shipping. Wait, wait, wait, wait, that's genius.

00:07:21 - 00:07:26 | Speaker 2:

How is it that they don't readjust it? They're, like, smart at everything, but they're not smart at that?

00:07:26 - 00:07:33 | Speaker 5:

I do it all the time. Like, for Target pickup, I'll just cancel items off the order, and then the alternate items will be shipped for free.

00:07:33 - 00:07:34 | Speaker 2:

Oh, my God.

00:07:34 - 00:07:37 | Speaker 6:

You need to become a red card member, by the way, because then you just can't free ship.

00:07:37 - 00:07:40 | Speaker 5:

Oh, I am. Don't you just get it?

00:07:40 - 00:07:42 | Speaker 6:

Or does it have to be $35? Maybe I just always spend $35.

00:07:42 - 00:07:47 | Speaker 5:

Well, no, when I do gift cards, sometimes I do it via gift cards, though.

00:07:47 - 00:07:51 | Speaker 2:

Okay. Hey, real quick, Shannon's got a story to tell you about her Target. Target shopping yesterday.

00:07:52 - 00:09:11 | Speaker 6:

Okay. This has nothing to do with returns, though. This has everything to do with something that happened to me at the checkout. So I always go, most of the time I go to the Target that's in Troy, okay? And there's this sweet little old lady that they usually only have two checkouts open because they want you to use the self-scans or whatever. But I had so many things. I'm like, I have to go to the regular checkout. So I see the lady. I'm like, oh, I love her. Okay. Well, I was buying a bunch of stuff for my fiancee Wes's new apartment. So I had, like, new towels and bathroom rugs and kitchen organizers, and then I had bought one of those big, fake, potted trees, like, from the Joanna Gaines section of Target. You know what I'm talking about? Oh, really? Yes. Yeah, it is. It's a good one. I'll post it. As this cashier was scanning everything, this sweet lady, and she's one of those cashiers that comments on all of your purchases. So it makes you feel good, but at the same time, you're like, this is taking forever. But she scans the fake tree, and she exclaims very loudly, oh, I love your bush. And then she caught herself, and she said, I mean, it's a tree. I'm sorry, your tree. The lady who was in line behind me caught my eye, and we were dying. This lady's so loud. It was like, I love your bush.

00:09:11 - 00:09:13 | Speaker 2:

By the way, I got that as a drop now, too.

00:09:14 - 00:09:20 | Speaker 6:

I love it, too. It's a good deal. So I have the same one buying this bush for somebody else.

00:09:20 - 00:09:23 | Speaker 2:

Thank you for the call. We appreciate that. All for the bush.

00:09:23 - 00:09:23 | Speaker 6:

Of course.

00:09:24 - 00:09:25 | Speaker 2:

Have a great day.

00:09:25 - 00:09:26 | Speaker 6:

My vagina is angry.

00:09:28 - 00:09:34 | Speaker 2:

What's your scam? Let's go back to this now. All right. Hold on a second here. Tori, are you there?

00:09:35 - 00:09:37 | Speaker 4:

Yes, I'm here.

00:09:37 - 00:09:38 | Speaker 2:

What's your scam, Tori?

00:09:39 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 4:

So I had a lot of events to go to last year, and I would go on to Revolve, and I would buy these really expensive dresses. I would fully wear them and put the tag back on, and then sometimes I would never even take the tag off. I would just stick it in. I'd wear it. Some of them were trash, and I would return them.

00:10:00 - 00:10:03 | Speaker 5:

and I have never had an issue to always get the money back.

00:10:04 - 00:10:08 | Speaker 3:

And you don't have to have a closet full of dresses you'll never wear again, right?

00:10:09 - 00:10:25 | Speaker 5:

Exactly. I just need the dress for one event, and one of my friends was telling me about it, and I was like, that's genius. I mean, it's kind of messed up, but I'm here for it because it's, you know, you want a nice dress, but you don't want to have to keep it, and that's just what she taught me, and I started doing it, and it's never failed me.

00:10:25 - 00:10:34 | Speaker 3:

And again, you're a very good person, right? You pay your bills and everything else other than that. All right. Angel?

00:10:35 - 00:10:36 | Speaker 6:

Yes.

00:10:36 - 00:10:37 | Speaker 3:

What's your scam?

00:10:38 - 00:10:56 | Speaker 6:

So Walmart makes you pay $9.99 a month or a $79.99 yearly membership fee to have your groceries delivered free, no charge, no shipping costs. So every month, every 30 days, you get a free trial for new members. So for a year now, I've been a new member every 30 days. See, that's smart.

00:10:57 - 00:10:58 | Speaker 7:

That's smart.

00:10:58 - 00:11:08 | Speaker 3:

I've heard that scam before with other places too You just kind of keep on making it And we talked about that with KP And the people that were trying to get the discount cards Like the new customer discount cards

00:11:08 - 00:11:36 | Speaker 7:

I don't think Lydia can get this person on the phone But this one was interesting to me This listener when she buys Honeycrisp apples Which are the best apples by the way But they are a little more expensive than the other apples She takes Removes the Honeycrisp apple stickers Replaces it with a cheaper Apple sticker And when she checks out, she gets charged for cheaper apples. How much money are you saving to actually go through all that? Maybe she buys a lot of apples. Also, that's a straight-up theft.

00:11:36 - 00:11:38 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, 100%. 110%.

00:11:38 - 00:11:39 | Speaker 7:

That's what she does.

00:11:39 - 00:11:42 | Speaker 3:

Well, Elena, what she's doing is also straight-up theft, too. What's your scam, Elena?

00:11:44 - 00:11:57 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, my scam is occasionally at the grocery store. I will do the self-checkout and double up my item in my hand and just scan one of them. Get myself a BOGO

00:11:57 - 00:12:03 | Speaker 7:

Wait Oh Elena You're going to get busted Now they have cameras right there

00:12:03 - 00:12:08 | Speaker 3:

But don't they also weigh it Doesn't it also You have to put it down on there And it has like a weight thing on there

00:12:08 - 00:12:17 | Speaker 4:

Well not always Occasionally you can get away with it With your smaller items Stack them up Like some blueberries Looks like one cart

00:12:17 - 00:12:28 | Speaker 3:

If Honestly Do you not think that karma Bad karma is going to come your way For doing this Or do you feel like it's your way to kind of justify the cost of everything that's going on right now.

00:12:29 - 00:12:33 | Speaker 4:

Maybe, maybe, we'll see. Maybe that's why I have bad luck, Mojo.

00:12:33 - 00:12:57 | Speaker 3:

I don't know. You know what's funny is that, and I'm not, listen, I'm not going to judge because I said I wasn't going to judge at all, but I always feel, maybe it's the Catholic guilt that I have in me from going to 12 years of Catholic school, but I always feel like I'm going to end up getting, like, cancer because of that. Like, I know that sounds crazy, but I always feel like the worst thing is going to happen to me, and it's going to be on the table when the doctor says you got cancer, I'm going to go,

00:12:58 - 00:13:00 | Speaker 2:

I should have just bought that other item.

00:13:00 - 00:13:00 | Speaker 3:

You know?

00:13:02 - 00:13:04 | Speaker 2:

Damn Honeycrisp! Right.

00:13:05 - 00:13:15 | Speaker 3:

Thank you for the call. Question. Would you guys tell on someone if you saw a person at Kroger taking the stickers off and moving the stickers?

00:13:15 - 00:13:21 | Speaker 7:

Honestly, no. Would you tell on them, or would you mind your own biz? I would mind my own biz. Probably not the right answer, but

00:13:21 - 00:13:25 | Speaker 4:

If anybody from Kroger is listening I would definitely

00:13:25 - 00:13:35 | Speaker 3:

Rachel from Kroger I want you to know I would be the Kroger police on that one I'm the voice of the loudspeaker system
