Tesco stops refunds over 'free XBox' loophole
>> From Telegraph.Co.Uk
[QUOTE]
Tesco has abandoned its refunds policy after thousands of people exploited a loophole to get food, wines, DVDs and even computer games consoles for free.
Under the supermarket's long-standing "return and refund" policy, any customers who are overcharged at the till can get their money back -- and keep the item they have just bought -- without question.
Over the past few months, a growing number of self-styled consumer activists has been sharing information posted on websites deliberately to buy goods that are priced incorrectly and get a full refund.

The "R&Rers" have picked up frozen chicken nuggets, nappies, DVDs, mobile phones, computer games, beer and televisions.
A pricing error in January meant that XBox 360 games consoles were advertised in the store for £297.81. When the machines' bar codes were scanned at the till, customers were asked to pay £299.97 -- £2.16 more. Under the policy, Tesco allowed the shoppers to take the consoles for free.
