Local Baby Formula Scam

I keep seeing people selling formula on facebook. It makes me wonder. Most people don't go out and buy that many cans at once. Those cans are not cheap. I priced them on Amazon and you can get 6 cans for about $100. There are 10 cans in the picture. So why is someone trying to sell them online? Why not just take it back to the store she bought it from and exchange it if the child is now using another formula. Well some stores have caught on to the scam that is being played. They use food stamps or wic to buy the formula and then return it to the store to try to either get money back or store credit. I found this out about a month ago when I tried to return a food product at Walmart that was spoiled when I opened it. They wouldn't even allow me store credit which is what usually happens when you don't have a receipt. I had to get the same exact item that I was returning. I asked them why and they said because of the EBT card. After that it made sense why I was seeing people selling formula. So do you think these are just people that bought the wrong formula or are these people abusing the system?




Heads up to Toys R Us. You are losing money! Giving store credit to someone that didn't buy the product from you.
