[Daily Post from Infoglide Software] Immigration Fraud is the Problem, Not Immigrants
One of our own, Joe Alavi, Web Developer for Infoglide Software, take us to task for our post on last Monday. And of course, he’s right.
“‘This is only the second time in the past 9 years where both the apprehensions and recovery dollars from shoplifters and dishonest employees has increased. Shoplifting apprehensions and recovery dollars were up an amazing 11.2% and 13.9% respectively,’ said Mark R. Doyle, President of Jack L. Hayes International. ‘And while employee theft apprehensions were up just under 7%, the recovery dollars were up over 16%.’ Mr. Doyle added, ‘The seriousness of retail theft is a much greater problem than many people realize. The theft losses experienced by retailers are driving consumer prices higher, hurting our economy, and even forcing some retailers to close stores or go out of business.’”
“Organized shoplifting rings have increased their activity as the Internet has made it easier to sell stolen merchandise, she said. ‘If you’re buying something that says, ‘Tags still attached,’ it’s probably stolen.’”
