Floating a Deposit- Employee Theft

June 6, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Many years ago it was standard practice to write a check for everything. Credit was an exception used for major purchases, or perhaps a special in- house financing in a department store. The down side to writing checks was that they took so long to process, that bad checks were an extremely prominent and an easy form of employee theft and fraud.
It was something that we always watched out for, employees who would write a bad check. There were even employees who would kite/ float checks. It was a simple process, but one that took dedication to maintain the process.
An employee would write a check and get cash. They would not have enough money in their bank account to cover the dollar amount of the check. So the cash they got from the check would get deposited into their account. Deposits would post faster than it would take the check to clear, however, they still needed to cover the bad check they had written.
They would write a second check and get cash. Then they would deposit that cash into their accounts. This cash would be enough to cover the first check, but not the second. So they would have to do it again, and again…
This would be a way to supplement their account in between paychecks. Once they had their paycheck deposited, the paycheck would cover the bad checks that had been written.
We don’t see employee theft or employee theft investigations for bad checks these days. What we do see is the same process with deposits. Cash is taken out of a deposit and cash from the next day’s deposit covers it up. They will take the money out of each deposit until they can make up the difference with their paychecks.

Maybe It Is Time- Background Checks

June 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment
So often when we (as business owners and managers) think of running background checks for potential employees, we do so with the mindset that it is for our benefit. We rarely stop and think about pre employment screening from the perspective of a new hire.
Maybe it is time that we do. 
With so many companies making it blatantly obvious that the employees are an after thought, background checks are frequently viewed as another company hoop to be jumped through.
Maybe it is time we talk to our potential employees about the benefits that they will get from undergoing the pre employment screening.
Since we are all aware of the benefits from low turnover, we should be presenting background checks in the same context that we do vacation time, insurance, or 401K opportunities.
When you are able to weed out potentially dangerous or deceitful employees, you are creating a safer work environment for the employees who do make it past the initial screening.
When you are validating education history, you are ensuring that other employees will not have to work double duty to compensate for the lied about skill and knowledge sets of a potential bad hire.
When you verify work history, you can discover large employment gaps or frequent job bouncing. Those employees can exhibit a serious lack of commitment to their job and their productivity. Not hiring those candidates help keep high employee morale as everyone is doing their share of the workload.

Implications Beyond Your Store –Wardrobing

June 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Wardrobing is not just about the customers who are in your store. It is also about customers who do any kind of online or mail order shopping. I never thought about those ramifications until I was presented with an unfortunate situation as a customer.
I recently bought a dress. Since I made the purchase online I never worried that the dress may have been involved in any wardrobing before I bought it. I didn’t realize that some companies send merchandise straight from a store, instead of out of a warehouse.
Once I received the dress in the mail, I went to try it on and there was a huge smudge of makeup all inside the dress. Ugh. After calling customer service, I was given two options, return the dress or keep the dress with an extra ten percent discount. Since I really wanted the dress and the discount would cover dry cleaning, I went with option number two.
One of two things had happened. The make up came from a customer trying the dress on, oblivious to the damage she did, or it came from a customer who was wardrobing.
Either way, the company lost out. They were shorted the discount that they gave me. Additionally, they lost me as a customer (and all the money I am spending elsewhere) because it was not worth the potential hassle to order anything from them again.

Worse Than Damages- Retail Anti Theft Devices

June 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Theft is the most common, and the most financially devastating, loss to a business. Compared to the financial damage done to inventory levels by broken or misplaced items, theft is much more widespread and damaging.
It is more likely that a thief would steal multiples of an item, than it is to have multiples of the same items damaged. It is also more likely to have several different thieves or groups of thieves targeting certain items of merchandise, creating poor sell through of those items.
Additionally, broken or damaged items can potentially be sent back to the vendor or a clam placed against the courier to help get back some of the financial loss.
 
Shoplifters are harder to get a financial recourse from. Even when a shoplifter is apprehended, it can be very hard to charge them with prior incidents. Unless you have evidence that cannot be contested, you will only be able to claim the loss that was incurred during current incident that the shoplifter was apprehended during. 
By stopping a shoplifter, you may have stopped the cause of the losses, but are still out the inventory from those prior incidents.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store for Alpha 2Alarm, Alpha 3Alarm, Alpha Fashion2, Alpha Jewel Lok, Alpha Nano Gate,  Alpha Shark Tag, Alpha Spider Wrap and other retail anti-theft devices from Alpha Security to use in conjunction with your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system that can help you prevent shoplifting in your business.

Common Traits For Actual Shoppers- Checkpoint Systems

June 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Actual paying shoppers will display the same basic patterns or behaviors when they are out shopping. Even those that are window-shopping will do the same things, even if they do not make an actual purchase. Shoplifters, on the other hand, have the intention of leaving the store with product that has not been paid for. By understanding what a shopper does, compared to what a shoplifter does will give you a better way to identify possible thefts in progress.
Shoppers look for their size of jeans, which is found somewhere, near the waistband, not at the bottom of the leg. Even if a shopper picks out a few jeans with similar sizes to try on, they still are more focused on the sizing found near the waistband.
Instead of looking at the tags or the waistbands, shoplifters follow the leg of each pair of jeans down to the end. They are checking for electronic article surveillance tags (EAS) commonly called security tags.
These shoplifters are trying to find pairs of jeans that did not have EAS tags on them. They want to be able to steal the jeans without being conspicuously identified by an alarm sounding as he exited the store. If they can find a pair of jeans without the tags, they have a better chance of making a clean escape.

Black Market Bottles- Alpha Security

June 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Having bottle security of any kind is the best defense against inventory losses. While shoplifters are always the first thought when it comes to how inventory shrink occurs, it is by far not the only way. In fact, it is easier and more common that vendors and employees will cause the biggest financial losses your liquor store will incur.
Bottle locks such as EASy Bottle (which is developed and sold by Alpha Security) are an effective deterrent against product sampling and shoplifting. If you know that those ways are only a portion of your losses, what else should your bottle security be protecting you against?
How about vendor fraud? One of the easiest ways a vendor can steal from you is by misstating the quantities of product they are delivering. This can happen by taking a real invoice, only shorting the actual shipment that is delivered to your store. If they leave a few cases of product on their deliver truck (and none of your employees verifies the physical received quantity) the vendor now has extra product on their truck.
You will be left with an unexplained inventory shortage and they have cases of merchandise they can do with as they please. It is easier than one might think to sell these on the black market to other businesses, friends, or online.

Not Just In Fashion- Alpha Shark Tag

June 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Lately retail anti theft devices similar to the Alpha Security Alpha Shark Tag have been in the headlines. The severity and frequency of wardrobing and one major retailer’s solution to stop this form of refund fraud have come to light.
The majority of the spotlight on refund fraud has focused on wardrobing. Wardrobing is when a customer purchases clothing for a specific use- special occasion, interview, etc. – and fully intends to return it after wearing it to that occasion.
While wardrobing focuses on the returns of clothing, there is more to this kind of return fraud than just clothes. Surprisingly, electronics are also targeted for one time use. Since retail anti theft devices like the Alpha Shark Tag are designed to target clothing returns, electronics are still an open market.
In one of the articles I read, a gentleman bought an expensive projector for a client presentation at his work. After carefully saving and memorizing where every piece of plastic and twist tie went, he proceeded to package up this projector exactly as it was originally boxed. This was, of course, after he had used it for the presentation. His boss had even applauded his ingenuity at saving the company money for not having to actually buy that particular piece of equipment.

Manage the Little Things- Retail Theft Prevention

June 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I had a friend who was a manager for a national retailer. We used to share stories and exchange thoughts on how to approach certain situations in the workplace. Retail theft prevention was always a hot topic for us.
He firmly believed in managing to the small things. If you could manage the little things that went on, the big things would take care of themselves. I always had a hard time believing him. I spent most of my time running around putting out fires- taking care of the big things, as it were.
Well, since I was recently assigned to struggling store that wasn’t making much progress, I decided to give his philosophy a shot. I started to look not at the big issues, but how to stop shoplifting before the shoplifters got carried away.
I focused my retail theft prevention around the little products, the small pieces of merchandise that are easy to conceal. Instead of watching the big items, I focused on reducing the shoplifters who were testing the waters by stealing items that easily went unnoticed. I made sure my checkpoint systems sent a clear message that the small items were alarmed and tagged.
It took about three months, but I noticed a difference in the reduction of large and noticeable theft in the store.

What is it? – Wardrobing Tags

June 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment
There is a fair amount of internet traffic all circulating around wardrobing tags. These are the garment tags that are now being made famous by the high-end retailer Nordstrom’s
Wardrobing tags have actually been around for a while; they just haven’t seen much press until now.
When a customer buys an item of clothing that they have every intention of wearing to an event and then return it, it is called wardrobing. This is different than a customer who buys an item and tries it on at home, instead of in a dressing room at the store. The customer might still return the item, but they have not worn it to an event or for an extended period of time.
To counteract this, retailers can use wardrobing tags like Alpha Security’s Alpha Shark Tag.
The Alpha Shark Tag is a red plastic tag that is attached with a pin closure. The pin clamps onto the merchandise. To be truly effective, the tags should be someplace conspicuous, such as the middle of the neckline on a dress or shirt.
The tags are easily removed with household scissors. The catch is that they should only be removed once the customer is sure they are going to keep the item. This is how the retailer knows that this item has not been worn and can be returned per company policies.

Catch All The Steps- Loss Prevention Seminars

June 2, 2014 by
Loss prevention seminars are extremely important if you are going to make shoplifting apprehensions in your store. The elimination of even one step can create a huge lawsuit and liability for your business.
First, you need to see the subject enter the store. The point is to see what they have, what they are wearing or carrying, so you can conversely know what merchandise they are stealing from you.
Secondly, you need to see them enter the area where the merchandise is sold. You absolutely need to see them select (pick up) the merchandise in question.
Again, this ensures you can verify the merchandise is absolutely your property and not theirs.
At this point you need to see them conceal the product or otherwise demonstrate that they are intending to steal.
Maintain constant observation of the merchandise. If you loose contact, can you be sure they did not discard the merchandise somewhere along the way? Some shoplifters do get spooked and drop the product.
Finally they need to exit the store and pass the last point of sales.
Loss prevention training is designed to assist retailers with making decisions to stop shoplifting or not. These loss prevention seminars are out there to further expound on these steps, and explain the subtle nuances that can arise during an actual shoplifting stop. That way the retailer can make a better determination if shoplifting apprehensions would be beneficial to their stores.
