What if the person you warned marches back to the store and says you're the one who told him?
Rabbi Klapper presents the last of these rules of to'eles: what happens when the person you told he was overcharged goes back to the store and announces that ploni said you cheated me. That itself would be rechilus about you. If he'd say only I heard I was overcharged, without naming his source, that's fine. But if he'll name you to the store owner, the Chofetz Chaim is unsure whether you may tell him in the first place — especially if you know he's the type who needs backup to prove he's right. Best, Rabbi Klapper says, to ask a Rav before speaking.
Not sure how it applies? Ask your Rav — and listen again tomorrow.
