GAS STATION SCAM- A concerned netizen exposed a customary gas station scam usually done by some gas attendants to unsuspicious customers.

Amidst the continuous fuel price hike presently, many people would opt to buying fuel from not well-known companies than from branded ones for practicality purposes.

Jahaziel purportedly noticed that the gas attendant did not correctly return the nozzle which, according to him will retain the figures in the machine and will cause the reading to not return to zero.

Hence, the next customer who purchases gas from the same pump might be convicted into paying for more fuel than what was actually pumped into the tank.

Jahaziel claimed that he can distinguish the proper placement of the nozzle as he was also working in a petroleum company and asserted that what he discovered was indeed a fraud.

He furthered that the scam customarily targets car owners the most.

With regards to this, the concerned netizen warns the motorists to remain vigilant and watchful when buying fuel at a gas station to avoid being victimized by double-dealing gas attendants.

As mentioned in the report, Jahaziel also advised the public to never give assurance even on big fuel companies as the scam can possibly happen to any gas stations.

However, he was quick to clarify that fuel companies has nothing to do with the malicious rip-off, but rather the workers who does not remain truthful to their job and have no conscience to con customers of their hard-earned money.
