Is my niece dealing with a devious *******? My niece works in a small office and was given the company credit card to make a payment by her boss who is also a particularly unpleasant person. Three days later my niece was accused of having not given the card back and having lost it by her nasty boss who got really angry with her and made her feel really guilty. My niece could not actually remember giving the card back as it was such an insignificant act at the time. She was honest enough to admit that she did not actually remember giving it back but that did not necessarily mean she had not done so. There is only one other person who has access to the office who my niece trusts implicitly so knew they would not have taken it if my niece had carelessly left it somewhere.
Strangely today my niece was asked to make another payment to the same company as previously with the supposedly new card which had allegedly been sent to replace the old lost one. When she spoke to the person on the phone to make the payment they asked if she would be using the same card as on the previous occasion (before the alleged loss) as the details were stored.
On a whim and because she was suspicious she said it was the same card as previously used and she was then asked to confirm the last four digits only. The payment went through which proved that the supposedly new card had the same number as the lost one. My niece also noticed the start date was 01/15. Surely the new card would have a current start date. My niece couldn't tell by the condition of the card whether it was old.
My niece now strongly believes the card was never lost and replaced. She believes the story was concocted to cause problems for her. Her boss has a history of unreasonable behaviour but this is taking things to extremes.
Two questions:
1. Is a replacement credit card always issued with a new number?
2. Is my nieces boss a psychopathic *******?
