Nicolette Garrison works part­time at an independent record store. Whenever her friend, Jacob Barker, comes into the store during one of her shifts, he picks up a CD and brings it to the register where Nicolette is stationed. After ringing a no sale transaction on the cash register, Nicolette pretends to swipe Jacob’s credit card for payment. She puts the CD in a bag and gives it to Jacob, who walks out without actually paying for the merchandise. What kind of scheme is being committed?
