I was also offered by petrol pump to do 5 ltr fuel test incase I want to. I guess the petrol was getting filled in some other vehicle or container (check Fraud #4 below) which I will leave the petrol pump to investigate using their CCTV. As I said I was not attentive enough that day. However as I said, the petrol did not reach my car at all. I was able to see the entry of Rs 401.50 for the exact time and date. Apart from that, he also showed me their automation system which records each and every entry with the time stamp. He also got my car filled for Rs 400 petrol so that I am not in loss.

He was quite helpful and courteous in explaining all the things to me. Today I visited the petrol pump again as requested by the petrol pump main manager (he was not present that day when I got scammed). Please listen to my 3 min audio recording with Petrol Pump Manager. It will be enough if he can warn that person strictly and take measures to ensure this does not happen again. I told the manager that I do not wish him to get terminated in this hard times. He accepted the mistake and offered to pay back the fuel worth ₹ 400 and also terminate the employee if found guilty.

My immediate next was to lodge a complain on BPCL website with all details and I was quite surprised and happy to see that I got a call back from the petrol pump manager within 30 minutes. I got back my Rs 400 and offer to terminate the employee I already went too far from the petrol pump and had no proof of the incidence that happened. That’s when I realized that I was a victim of another Petrol Pump fraud, which I was unaware of. However, my car indicator was still showing the same “51 km” which it was showing before I went to petrol pump and did not go past it. So I told him to leave it at that point and bill it to me for ₹ 400 only. Once the meter started and I thought that everything is fine, he stopped at ₹ 400 and started billing. The attendant asked me to see the ZERO on the meter and then started filling the petrol. I generally get out of my car and stand near the person filling it, but I was in a conversation with my friend and trusted the petrol pump as I have been there quite a number of times. Yesterday I went to a BPCL petrol pump to fill petrol in my car, where it all happened. I got cheated at a Petrol Pump yesterday for ₹ 400.

Typesy scam
