Some lady at work knows this and she sells on ebay. She gave me her debit card AND pin and told me to go ship a package for her.
She is not my boss and I don't even know her. I was somewhat stunned so I did it once and now she won't stop.
Today, the cashier asked me if the package had anything hazardous and I couldn't even tell her. She said I shouldn't be mailing things for other people so I told my co-worker I don't feel comfortable doing this anymore.
Would you take someones money/card and do this favor? Was I out of line? Thanks
I would only do it for a close friend. I would know what was being shipped. The cashier was correct. You could be left "holding the bag" for something being shipped that you know nothing about. You could also be left "holding the bag" if something doesn't arrive to its destination, or if the person to whom the debit card belongs decided to say you made any unauthorized charges on it. It isn't unheard of for someone to claim that another person went on a shopping spree with their card....when it was actually the owner of the card. Don't do it anymore. It isn't rude, it's just good sense.
I would suggest you stop doing this favor for her. As innocent as it may seem, it may come back and bite you both in the butt. If her card did get misused one day, get who she's gonna pin it on?
I know a girl who is too trusting and gave all her workmates her card and pin so that they can go and get things for her. In the end, because of her laziness, her debit card got skimmed and she ended up tying to blame her workmate because they were the only ones who had access to it.
At the end of the day it is better to prevent a drama from unfolding rather than try to fix it.
That's a lot of risk for you with no payback. Now, suppose YOUR boss were to visit your mailroom & see one of her boxes sitting there & ask you about it... ? She could tell you 'don't do that anymore' officially, which would give you a way out without maybe offending this person, who, you never know, could be some semi-big muckity muck in another department. So, if you were to ask your boss about it, you could say she asked you first.
I would not do this for anybody.
She's trying to make you her errand-runner. Put a stop to her presumptuous behavior.
You don't mail it and you don't use her card. Make her come take it back and handle her own business.
Stop it immediately, you may be in trouble.
