An anti-theft/anti-fraud system that includes a tag assembly that renders a retail item ineligible for merchandise return or refund in the cases tag is removed from the retail item or where the label attached to the front side of tag has been removed or tampered with, or if the retail item is a garment that has been washed or dry-cleaned. The backside of the tag contains the anti-theft/anti-fraud system trademark and a warning message. The label thereon contains the anti-theft/anti-fraud system trademark and the retail outlet's code data that defines the retail outlet's name, date of purchase and type of purchase, so that the item cannot be returned for refund after the retailer's return policy period has passed, or after the item has been washed or dry-cleaned. The tag is attached to a discreet portion of the retail item. If attachment of the tag has no feasible location then a single label is utilized and applied to a discreet portion of the retail item. This anti-theft/anti-fraud system is designed to deter incentives of diverse forms of larceny, also eliminating the possibility of a retail item being returned to a different retailer. This system also protects the integrity of the retailer's inventory from the introduction of counterfeit items.
