I once had a $7 tip changed to $70. Thankfully, Capital One sends an alert if the tip seems unreasonably high.

Not sure if you did this but mentioning because I’ve seen my friends do this, always write out the full amount (e.g. $7.00) instead of just the dollar amount ($7). Not bullet proof but def makes it harder to change

I always write the 7 followed by a line. So $7—-

If that was a $35 tab (tipping at 20%), then I'd chalk this up to an egregious error from the server, but probably not malicious in intent.

Yes definitely could have been an innocent mistake, but I was glad they caught it. They've also sent me alerts sometimes when I intentionally tip above 20%, but it's good they check for that.
