Yes, I was familiar with the law regarding fraud by false representation and that's why I started the thread in the first place. Nonetheless, it's indeed really reassuring that someone who worked there suggests they will not move forward with this. Again, thank you all.

Thank you, but you got me more worried. Does anyone know any occasions that the store called the police afterwards? Would the police even bother? How many days do you think it would take?

Thank you for your time

Thank you both. Oh, I don't think she will even consider it again. I don't know what got into her, but she suffers from anxiety issues lately and this one got her bad. Anyways, following that, my concern on the visa card is that would the police bother to contact a bank of another country to get her details? And, regarding the CCTV, the manager knew exactly the hour of the incident, thus it would be easy for him to go back the following day and check the footage right? Now, let's say that this did happen, could he then call the police on the base of attempted fraud?

Hello, so the story goes like this: My girlfriend walked into a TK Maxx and swapped a price tag on a pair of shoes. On the till the lady there called the manager who explained to her that this tag is wrong and provided the correct price. The lady on the till wrote something down and my girlfriend played naive and paid for the shoes the actual price and walked out of the store. Note that she paid with her visa registered in another country (not a UK bank) since she is just visiting here. I have already read all the threads regarding similar issues but in most of them, people are getting caught when actually swapping the tags. So my questions are: Could the police be called in after reviewing the CCTV records, considering she paid for the full price? Does it make any difference that her visa card was not from a UK bank? Thank you.
