Regina recently landed her dream job at a local clothes outlet. Within a few weeks of working in her new employment, however, Regina began to engage in fraud. Regina committed the fraud by doing the following: When people returned merchandise, Regina would ring up an amount that was greater than the value of the item that was being returned. Regina would then pocket the extra cash and give the customer the amount due. Regina found this method of fraud very effective because people were, in reality, returning something and inventory and register totals wouldn't be out of balance at the end of the day.
