Walmart charge on CC is showing as Moneygram?

[pinkandgrey]

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but this was a surprise to me. 

I went to my local Walmart and used self checkout. I do this all the time and the pending charge always shows up as "Walmart Supercenter." 

But this time it shows up as "Moneygram." 

What's up with that?

@pinkandgrey did you keep your receipt?  You may need to go over it to make sure you haven't been scammed or that the scam could happen on your card sometime in the future.  Someone could have set up the checkout to load money from your card to go to them, besides your paying for your goods.  Just double check and perhaps lock your card.

edit: Take your receipt to customer service and ask them.

oooh wow thanks @GApeachy 

Got to be more careful at all the self check outs.

Well through much experimentation I think I have it figured out. 

The self-checkout machines that accept cash all show up as MoneyGram and the ones that take card only show up normal/"Walmart."
