          Sounds very fishy, how did the police identify himself? I dont think they are supposed to show you other people s ID at least. However it does seem too audacious and unnecessarily risky for fraudsters to get your ID by impersonating the police.

            @truetypezk: The lady who sold me the gift cards confirmed that they are contracted by coles for security. I also took a pic of their ID albeit there were no names.
            Never felt so dirty buying gcs before

            • truetypezk on 16/03/2024 - 18:24

              @Brakus: So they are private security or the Police? I didnt know you can pay the Police to do this kind of stuffs for you.

              • Brakus on 16/03/2024 - 18:30

                @truetypezk: Their badge shows security industry license. I think they are contracted by coles for security

                  @Brakus: That makes more sense, but I don't think they have any power to force you to produce your ID, especially after the sale has been completed. If Coles want to do it they might be able to record ID as part of the purchasing process but asking ID by coercion after payment sounds wrong on so many levels. Maybe you should post it on social media and demand a formal apology.

                  • Brakus on 16/03/2024 - 18:49

                    @truetypezk: They took a pic of my ID. Im more worried about that

                    • truetypezk on 16/03/2024 - 19:01

                      @Brakus: I don't think they are actually going to do anything bad with it if they are genuine security personnels hired by Coles. However it is definitely a violation of your rights and I would be seeking some form of compensation or at least a formal apology if I were you.

                      • Brakus on 16/03/2024 - 19:07

                        @truetypezk: I spoke to the manager after I did my shopping and he said to just file a complaint to coles customer service. I will give them a call when they are open

                  @Brakus: If they security tell them to f off . They are not allowed to touch you , if they do it becomes harrassment /assault and you can file a police report.

                  If i was you, i would file a police report with all details you have for them to investigate. Its illegal for them to take pics of your id

                    • easternculture on 16/03/2024 - 18:57

                      @Brakus: Exactly. Its a supermarket item. You cant expect to be harrast if you are shopping peacefully.

        • rekke on 18/03/2024 - 13:53

          This seems really dodgy. Once the transaction has been approved and you've paid for the cards and left the store, I don't see how the security would have any jurisdiction over you at all.

          • Brakus on 18/03/2024 - 14:56

            @rekke: I don't know… Coles staff who sold me the cards and the manager are aware about these guys. The staff told me that they check-in like all other coles staff.
            The guy also had a badge

            • SabreTooth23 on 19/03/2024 - 02:34

              @Brakus: This is indeed very dodgy. There are police protocol if they need to do this action. Taking a photo of your receipt and your id can be use as a scam specially if they do not have a proper procedure to store these information. If I already paid and they wont let me go unless they took photo of my id then I will return the gc and ask coles for refund. Certain authorities can ask for your id but taking photo of your id is another matter.

              • c9 on 19/03/2024 - 09:53

                @SabreTooth23: I think you should call the police about it, sounds like an identity thief teamed up with one of the Coles staff, if I were you I probably will just call the police (or lawyer if you have access) on the spot

    • CodeXD on 16/03/2024 - 17:09

      And where does this gift card fit into this?

      • san87 on 16/03/2024 - 17:26

        I'm asking the same question. Is it possible use on DEFT to pay?

        • CodeXD on 16/03/2024 - 17:31

          Yes you can use this vanilla visa gift card to pay on deft website.

          A lot of people already commented that it works on deft and have said the surcharge.

          • san87 on 16/03/2024 - 17:53

            @CodeXD: Ohk.. thanks but I couldn't find surcharge percentage. It's the same as Ato payments.

  • Anon257 on 16/03/2024 - 17:18

    Looks like I did not get 10% off my cards?? I got the last gold $250 and one $100 card from my local Coles.

    I didn't check in store cause there was a big line behind me and I was in a rush…
    I thought it would apply automatically but I just got home and did the math, looks like I was charged activation fee for the cards but 10% off did not apply?
    I used my Flybuys $10 off but i thought this would not exclude the other deal cause I also bought a bunch of groceries.

    Will I have to go back in store to argue for the 10% off??
    I am in ACT.

          They cant be returned and you didnt lose too much money anyway. Just $5/$7 activation fees and you get some flybuys pts in return. So just take this opportunity and remember to check carefully next time.

          • Anon257 on 16/03/2024 - 17:56

            @truetypezk: Yep.. will be more careful next time.
            I fell for it cause the $100 ones were under the 10% off sign and the $250 ones were 1 spot over.

    I saw at the store the undercover guy flash a badge from his pocket held his arm and lead him away. I watched him go to one register and then another register then the self service lady reported it to the officer. She said he also came earlier in the day with another guy. I’m not sure what crime he was committing but it was scary

    You need to ask yourself why bring out a promotion of you don't want to sell them. My wife tried to but 5, and they took 1 off her and said the max was 4. I then went and had some stern words to the guys and he eventually put the last one through, When he opened the draw at the help desk it was full of Vanilla cards. So wrong they are hiding them.

        • Sheng on 17/03/2024 - 18:04

          It mostly likely someone from that store who concerned someone is getting scammed and made an alert. I also suspect that these "undercover police" are actually loss prevention officers and not actually law enforcement. They will nab your id and make you sign waives allowing them to share your identify across a database and sell your data.

          They probably thinking your one of those who are stealing cards to purchase them later as stock is magically appearing. Most retails use AI to watch people haven't noticed that automatic doors?

        The machine locks on $1,000+ transactions. There is a maximum of 5 gift cards per transaction but that's not an issue.

        Any assistant should be able to clear the machine locks, no manager required.

      she mentioned additional approval will be required if over certain amount.

      There is a machine lock on $1,000+ transactions but it's only one additional intervention for the assistant. I would bet it's slightly slower to split into 2 transactions.
