He was given a store credit in the form of cards that he later redeemed at other stores, prosecutors said.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Connecticut man was given nearly $300,000 in fraudulent Home Depot credit by walking into stores in several states, taking expensive doors and then returning them without a receipt, federal prosecutors allege.
If the return was denied, he would take the doors without paying and return them at another store, prosecutors said. Home Depot’s policy is to allow customers to return items without a receipt, but the home improvement chain has safeguards in place that are supposed to prevent people from taking advantage, including asking for identification that requires third-party verification, according to court documents.
