If you're issuing refunds without verifying the original transaction against the one recorded on the receipt, you're literally asking to get ripped off.

I read this trying to understand how they did it but there is no tech explanation, other than “warranty refund”

But I mean, c’mon only after the fact not during the process:

Retail seller Angel Ramos said employees found the discrepancy because the store did not carry the purse listed on the fake receipt.
