Hey, first time poster to these forums. ill admit, i did someting very stupid. i worked for sears and committed refund frauds, basically having some one buy items and then i would "return" the item with it not being there. anyway, i was caught by someone turning me in. I spent the night in holding at the local police. items valued were about $2100. However, when talkin to Loss Prevention, they told me if i cooperated and repaid what i had taken, there would be no legal action. I cooperated fully. filled out a statement, and signed a promissary (sp?) about paying back the money in full. However after all that, they still called the cops. im 21, this is the 1st time i have ever been in trouble with the law. Judge let me go w/ out bail, and i have a court date in Oct. What am i looking at as far as punishment? first time offender, and i did sign the promissary to repay everything.
