I have just reported it to Morrisons security man and he is contacting the Police as
he says it is definitely a scam.
I also told the supervisor in Sainsburys as the two supermarkets are fairly close to
each other and he is going to pass the word round.

Very frightening, Lissie :shock: You did the right thing reporting it, and telling Sainsburys too.

That's scary, Lissie - I'm glad you are OK.

Yes, you were right to report it, and do take extra care next time you visit that Morrisons.

You have to be so damned careful nowadays. Whenever I'm entering my PIN number at the supermarket,
I always use my other hand to prevent anyone see my number. If a person does identify your PIN number
they might then try to rob you of your card when you leave. It struck me that that was perhaps why the
man approached you today. You were lucky not to become a victim. Do take care in future.

He was definitely after your purse Lissie. What an upsetting thing to happen, but well done you.
