But, um >> Yeah, but there's a huge problem with a firm. a firm, you know, is a is a is a you know, you see it a lot when you're doing like online shopping and stuff like that. You could pay for you. It's like pay later or whatever and stuff like that. But people there is a scam going around with it. Um people are like doing like identity theft and taking loans out and paying for stuff and then they they get the stuff and then they sell it on the street for money and stuff. Like it's it's such a huge problem with a firm. In theory, it sounds it sounds like a good idea. Like, okay, if you don't have the money, you could just put it on your affirm account and then pay pay it down later or whatever. But man, people are taking trips, vacations, buying all types of stuff with with with that affirm stuff. Man, >> you should go for another >> cuz if you get somebody information, you could do you do the affirm joint and then you take a trip like on their dump like it's just Yeah, it could get real messy. >> I think >> Okay.

If you don't, I'll give you like 10 minutes. Okay. >> Okay. >> Can you log into your account? >> That's what I'm trying to do right now. >> Where's your bank? >> No, this is a firm app. It's just based off your credit. >> She doesn't find a receipt of it. >> What's that? >> What happens if she can't find a receipt? >> No, she uh I think she has it. >> Yeah. And she's showing it my partner right now. >> And what if she can't? What if she or whatever? >> My partner will come back and talk to you. I just, like I said, I just got here. I don't even know what's going on. >> She don't got no receipt. >> No. Right here. >> All right. So, the Affirm app does it show anything that uh they could pay online cuz supposedly she said that affirm is a credit that you could pay and they use on the go, too. Can you guys check that or no? It's so you guys you guys only work for on the go. Is that the name of the app? Hold on. Let me double check before I Hold on. Is that the app you said? Is that the app you said? On the go. Okay, hold on. But is it on uh Walmart app, right? >> It is only on Walmart's app. Nothing else that you know of or is that how? So, here's the thing. So the guy said the lady who told her like the lady Angelica told him like hey I have the I have hold on somebody's call hold I have that one second. Yep. Just give me a second. I'm confirming. Supposedly she has the app to pay for it and she said she paid for it. So she's going to show me a proof that she paid. If she did, I'm going to let them go. Yeah. You don't mind? All right. All right. Okay. So, she's saying that he took it because she told him that, "Hey, I already paid the item through the to the website and they that's what they left." That's what I'm looking for. I'm waiting for that. No, I'm I have to take them in. But I'm just making sure we don't have You guys do not have a firm at >> Did you find it? >> No, it I have to swap it to his number. Look, my phone literally just broke. So Walmart said that they they already talked to many managers. >> They only have >> Can you take this >> Walmart's app? >> You can use I have the um credit card to go in. >> So what what's the phone that you use? >> Um I used my friend's phone >> cuz you didn't use no phones on the on the on the uh >> because we already did. I already had did it. That's what I'm saying. >> No, it's supposed to scan. You got to scan the the stuff. You didn't you didn't >> You had to scan it. I thought you could just buy. >> No, no. I thought you could just buy it because we have the I have the money. I saw the video. I didn't see you grabbing no phone. Okay. You just grab the item and put it in the car and you guys walked away. Okay. You can give his phone. >> You're going to be under arrest for >> Yeah. Tell that BS story to the judge. >> Okay. Affirm is a real thing, but she just stealing. >> 27. The female's in custody. 61, you can take him. >> Dispatch, >> and there's no way we can have my friend just bring the items cuz we got to get >> Well, at this time, you could try. >> I guess I was saying, >> you shouldn't run away when the loss prevention told you to stop. >> He told me I could bring the receipt. All right, let me fix this quick. >> You guys never show back. >> I mean, we just got back. >> I mean, if you have the app, you could have just gave it to them right there. >> I know, but I don't I don't have the phone. >> All right. Uh, well, we got them in custody, so I'll I'll let you know what happened. >> Will they be willing to get the merchandise back? >> She's asking if you guys want the stuff back. and not press charges. >> Yeah. All right. Well, all right. Uh if Yeah. So, they're going to call someone because they bought it as a gift. So, they I'll let you know when. So, this is how it works. Affirm the one you have. >> Affirm you could use it. So, you could order it online and they will bring it up to you that you got a designated spot that you have to go and they'll give they will go and give it to you. The other one on the go, you have to scan the items and then from after you scan the items, you got to scan it and then go to the register and then you can go there. >> Okay. Cuz I Yeah, I have on the go. >> And I had this the phone on your on you at all at all time >> cuz I thought but if you had the phone and they told you to stop, you should have just show it to them instead of running away. Does it make sense? >> Yeah. >> All right. The woman was charged with retail theft and obstructing identification, while the man was charged with retail theft. Fingerprints later revealed that the woman had used her cousin's identity and was wanted in Wisconsin for failing to appear. So, she was taken to jail on the warrant. Her Wisconsin felony case remains open and no final disposition could be verified for the Illinois charges. >> Unbelievable. Yeah. affirm, you know, it's good for some people, I guess, you know, but, you know, um, honestly, if you if you don't have the money, I don't know. I look at I look at it like this, like unless it's big items, and I'm talking big items, like thousands of dollars. Like, why are we doing loans, you know, unless it's obviously a mortgage, you know, a car, you know, stuff like that. It's it's like okay that's obvious right but like people be doing loans for like furniture and like you know now they got a firm so you can do you know you can make payments on anything you know flights all type like why you got people that make payments on cell phones I'm like yo I just don't be understanding Like, if you can't buy it, don't buy it. Like, why would you? I don't I don't get it. People be putting payment plans on cell phones. Like, oh, for an extra 40 bucks a month, you could you only have to pay 40 bucks a month for the cell phone. Like, just buy the cell phone. So, you have it unlocked. You don't have to worry about anything. If you want to switch carriers, do whatever. If you want to do whatever with it. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, firm is a real thing. But um they're just lying. They they stole that stuff. I don't believe their story for one second. >> Heavy, but you make it feel so light. Yeah. You make it feel [music] [singing] late. [singing] Don't be shy.
