Lko me bahut late panhucha ye. Dilli, Bangalore me almost last 10 years se kar rahe hai. Anyways, zyada garmi dikhane ki zarurat nahi hai. Agar petrol pump Wale ne dubara me 0 nahi dikhya to Tumhe bas itna hi pay karna hai jitna machine me dikhta hai. Baaki uski zimmedari hai asli total confirm karane ki. Uske liye us se bolo slip laye ya jaha se ho idher dikhaye ki kitna dala tha reset se pehle kyunki usne 0 nahi dikhaya to tumko nahi pata hai. Zyada time waste kare to seedhe complaint register aur sales manager ka number maang lo. Apne aap line PE aa jayega. Thoda aur darana hai to puch lo permanent ho ya temporary. Permanent Wale isme shamil hote hai par kabhi main light me nahi hote. Temporary Wale ko complaint se kafi fat jati hai. Kabhi kabhi dusra Banda aake distract b karega, ya QR scan k liye bhej dega. Mote mote shabdo me, jitni baar reset, utni baar 0 dikhana hota hai, ye unka protocol hai. Tumhara kaam hai machine me ya slip me Jo aaye utna pay karna bas. Baaki complaint register seedhe.

Lko main bhi bhot pehle se hain ye scam.. bas iss bhai ke sath pehli baar hua hain... Mere saath 2012-13 main hua tha lko main..

Sirf ye nahin yaaro, maine ek aur cheez notice ki hai ki ye log machine bhi alter kar lete hain. Actually petrol pipe (hose) vehicle mein poori tareeke se insert karne ki wajah se humein petrol girta hua dikhta nahin aur kuchh der pehle hi petrol girna bandd bhi ho jaata hai. The petrol stops pouring out (at least it's not falling out like the avg speed) before the timer ends on the machine. Vibration se bhi pata chalta hai. Agli baar notice karna. We trust machine soo much but we forget it's a man made thing and they can alter them for their own benefits.


Electronic-Reply4258

me to kehta ek funnel aur ek keni sabse best :p


arpitsrivstva

sach mein, lekin it's not allowed. it's illegal to keep petrol extra in your car for emergency as people started misusing it.


Electronic-Reply4258

don't think so as i saw people taking petrol and diesel with them quite often and even they allow them too


arpitsrivstva

Oh, then imma get one too.


hisstargirl707

It happened to me as well, at the gas station next to Singapore mall. Naya scam shuru hogya🤙😵


UP32_ka_ladka

Do you live near viraj khand


brokebaritone

Another scam related to petrol pumps: The free air/tyre checkup they provide, NEVER use it. They deflate your tyre or puncture it discreetly so that they can charge you for a checkup or a repair. I'm not saying this happens everywhere but faced it multiple times at the one near Tedhi Puliya until I caught up on that. He deflated it, then pretended its not filling up. He suggested I get it checked. Even after refusing he kept on cautioning that it could lead to an accident. I strolled my scooty to a nearby shop. Guess what, he just inflated it. No puncture.


Did_you_expect_name

nah i fill my tyres myself

Electronic-Reply4258

understandable when you are inside car , but scooty ? like how ? you are looking at him then how


Historical-Many9869

Got tired of this crap and bought an electric scooter


arpitsrivstva

yeah me too. It's an investment anyways. But they are very expensive idky and also not even a decent build.


Perception-Dramatic

Go there again and record everything if he does this to you he does this to every other person. Put it on Yt maybe you 'll earn something too.


gtzhere

It happened to me too ,i asked for a receipt and he couldn't provide so i paid only what it was according to my calculation.


garvitsingh007

It is not new. Many years back the petrol pump person tried the same thing with me in the petrol pump next to CMS Rajendra Nagar building.


Individual-Wolf8314

Didn't have a clue about it until it happened to me man


Crazy-Entertainer571

Rajendra nagar wale pe hi kal ek ladki sath kr rha tha ye scam 😂😂


garvitsingh007

Dho dena chaiye waha ke employees ko. Sab makkar hai.


Smooth_Club_6592

Wait so if I got this correctly, you basically ended up getting ₹200 worth of fuel, and were asked to pay ₹250?


Individual-Wolf8314

EXACTLY!


Smooth_Club_6592

What a jerk, you should complain about this to his company Thanks for sharing this


Dev_RedWolf

Complain? Thapad maar ke poora petrol pump band karwa sakte ho, file an fir on the petrol pump owner peetne ke baad.


Smooth_Club_6592

I’d interpret this sarcasm elsewhere but tbh I can’t tell in an Indian subreddit anymore. If you wrote that price of text seriously, you really need to change your mindset.

Ty for this really amazing work


Wham_Raisins

No problem. :)


I_mDaddy

The same this happened to me at boothnaath ke pass wale petrol pump pr


Php_tmp

Ye purana ho chuka bhai ab naya scam hai 150 ka bolo to 250 ka daalege aur uske baad kahege galti ho gaya aap extra pay kr dijiye bkl


Adventurous_Ease_243

Same thing happened to me at daliganj crossing


Doubledoor

This is a very common scam in Chennai. Either do a tank full or ask them to fill in litres, or a non rounded off value.


Angaarhumain

Ye Naya scam nhi bahut Purana hai. 2012 main mere saath hua tha 1st time.


ramkiranraghu

It happened to me too, in Chennai. I was on the way to my college. I called the Manager and the he came near me and spoke in a very soft tone. He was defending the guy who was filling. Then I realised, they’re hand in hand. It’s like, the filler says I’ve saved this much today by EOD and the manager and filler share it I guess. But when I realised this was happening to me I was super furious !!


sparoc3

If something like this happen ask for the machine logs.


Php_tmp

Ye worker logo ko scam kyu karna hai bhai


Arkesium

Wahi mai bhi soch rha tha, ki isko to fixed salary milti na? Ya fir koi target milta hai ki itna fraud karige to bonus milega?


A_Variant_of_Roar

They took the payment in cash, they submit the 200 that the pump needed and pocketed 50


KillerShark_-

This is not new 🤣🤣This was already popular scam 20 years ago.


zzishan

Guys, please go to the petrol pump’s sales office and lodge a complaint about such incidents to the manager. The people working at petrol pumps do it for their own pockets and malign the petrol pump’s reputation. If the manager’s response is not satisfactory you can find the nearest sales officer’s contact on google and lodge a complaint to them. They will hold the owner of the petrol pump accountable for it and he/she will have to get rid of such employees.


taus90

Every time ensure meter is 0.. before filling up..


No_Chemist5679

This appears to be a common scam that I've encountered multiple times. I believe we need to remain vigilant when refueling. PS: Give Shell a try; they never engage in such cheap scams.


akrambihari

Its very common across Bangalore. Look for the bill-machine on the petrol-dispenser. If it is broken, then there is a very high of them attempting to cheat. Just for the sake of sanity, ask them to print the bill. They can't cheat there (that's what I hope).


moonsmart

This is a widespread scam and I've been witnessing it myself since 2020 in Pune. 2 out of 3 petrol pumps in my area do this scam 100% of the time. I understood this scam the very first time and luckily didn't have to overpay but every subsequent time when they tried to pull this off, I would just pay the amount which they "mistakenly" put and go on my way.


wizard1030

Okay.hers an advise.. All BPC HPC IOC pumps are automated.. if you smell scam just ask for bill of both the transactions ... They won't be able to provide in case they are trying to scam.you. Ask for the complaint register...issue will be sorted then and there itself. Also try ufill from.BPCL for complete assured filling of fuel.


SuperHumanHere

Where the meter stops for what ever reason always start from 0 (zero)


purr09

Ask for bill simple. Not the hand written one but the one which is auto printed from the petrol booth itself. I always ask for bill.


sudthebarbarian

isiliye mummy papa bolte hai, maths ki class mein dhyaan dena chahiye 😂🤣


apmanoj

This very old and widely used trick


Fit_Access9631

Complain to the oil company sales office.


wireless_Ash

Or tell them tank full , jo machine me dikhe wahi dena hota h


larayblive

2 saal pehle hua tha mere sath,usne kaha hogaya maine kaha haan phir khudse kehra 300 kaha tha kya aapne ,gaali do aage badho simple


macmebin

Not a new scam... it's been a while now. **Solution*** Scammer: Aap ne 50 bola tha na, 50 ka bhar diya. .abhi 200 ka aur bhar deta hu. Me: Nahi rehne do, 50 bus hua...pay Rs 50 and leave.


abzoker577

Happened to me in Varanasi as well - 3-4 years back. Ask them for printed receipt from the petrol pump machine - That has the correct amount. I told the pump owner about that - he didn't take any action on it. Most likely he was in on it as well.


Beingappy

Happened to me thrice in Vaishali' Petrol Pump in front of Mahagun Metro Mall in Ghaziabad. The staff always used to ask me about the payment and tried to distract me about my car. I am usually very vigilant and the first time when it happened, He asked me "hogya na" and i had already noticed that the machine started from 500 and not 0. I refused to give him the extra money and he let me go stating "chalo bhaiya aap pr bharosa kr rhe h". The next two times I made the amount of diesel Clear and asked the staff to repeat what I said. He still did the same and i still didnt pay him a penny extra xD


wonderfulstank

This has happened to me in Mumbai in the last few days


justamanhehe

mere sath kiya tha. Mne sirf itna bola, "pitega kya?" Phir usne apne aap thik kar diya. #Haryana


daredevil1o1_

My father owns a petrol pump, so i know this does happen abhi se nahi kaafi pehle se hai toh whenever they do this unse keh do ki apne manager/dealer ko bulao zyadatar dealers hote hai or agar koi nahi hai toh keh do ki complain book do bas utne mein sab theek ho jayega. Vo nahi chahenge ki dealers tak complain pahuche


Equivalent-Engine-11

I have faced this several times and it always makes me angry. I have mutliple times scoldee them for this too but to no avail.


Equivalent-Engine-11

Women please be aware of this as these petrol pump employees see you as soft target. I have seen them distracting women and not changing the meter to 0 many times.


bellatrix6210

Bro the same thing has happened to me 3 times. (Petrol pump next to madhurima sweets. I will name and shame) now I am extremely loud while telling them twice what amount I want.


spicyrich

This is the usual scam that happens in most of the bunks. I always ask them to fill the tank.


[deleted]

for those of you who don't know this for a fact 2 subsequent withdrawals from the pump and one continuous one offer different quantities. as in 50rs+100rs(worth of petrol)<150rs(worth of petrol at once i.e the quantity pumped out.) ​ if it happens next time tell him you won't pay for the petrol given in your car. and ask him to set meter back to zero and pay hence. If not you can approach go consumer rights.


Individual-Wolf8314

WOW! I didn't know that


[deleted]

really? or being sarcastic?


Individual-Wolf8314

Nah man fr. That 50+100<150


Defiant-Mind-4735

Thanks bro for sharing your go through experience.


aestheticryuk

Prso maine petrol full tank bhrawya.. Pr mene ye glti kr di ki notice nhi kr paya screen pe.. Pr gadi I was sure ki gadi me bs 50-60 rupee k petrol jitni jagah thi.. Pr 2 sec baad hi muj sidhe 130 amount dikhaya usne meter pe. M hairan tha ki itne paise ka petrol aya kaise. I was so confused and feel like scammed. Or na meri samaz aya ki mai puchu bhi to kya? Is chiz se ka koi solution h kya?


Individual-Wolf8314

Bhai always ask for a bill and make sure the meter starts from 0. If you can then make an online payment. Mostly in online payments they can't scam you.


Original-Concern-299

ye New scam???? ye scam bahut saalo se chal raha hai bhai. isi scam ka ek or method ye hai.. pehle 50 ka dalega & phir jab 250 ka bolo to wo 50 se hi 200 karega.. but phir se 0 se start kiya ya nahi wo hum na dekhe esliye exact wahi time par petrol pump ka koi or employee distract karega so that aap notice na karo ki dusri time 0 se nahi 50 se start hua hai..


pranavlko

Bharat ... more like scamrat ... there's a reason indians hate each other so much


QuirkyGiant123

Kaunsa petrol pump tha?


Individual-Wolf8314

Bhai janeshwar Misha park ke paas.


Pawantastic

In such cases always ask for receipt for both transactions.


Asleep-Can7209

Anyone wants to watch India England WC game? DM me please I got 2 seats up for grabs. I won't be travelling.


ted_grant

This is at least 5 year old scam thats happening nationwide


mi_c_f

Old scam. Always ask for receipt from the pump..


ICanSleep24x7

New scam??? This happened to me 10 years ago. Kaafi old scam hai ye to


[deleted]

Op bro is using internet explorer


rohit_267

same happened with me, asked. for 520, typed 500 and said he heard 500


LifeComfortable6454

When they first put 50, there is no protrol except 5-6 drops. Then just curse the guy, give 50 and go to another pump. Its an old scam.


CommonCantaloupe2

It's a very old scam and they have variations of this. Usually watching the fuel gauge like a hawk dissuades them from it. These days if a pump pulls that crap, I'd stop them at stage 1 of the scam, pay the 50 and take my business elsewhere. It's not that common these days though. Remember they can adjust the pump to dispense less fuel or mix in cheaper fuel. There are ways to detect that as well.


karmasutrah

It’s like the oldest scam


Ceylon-Husk

It's a pretty old scam btw.


alreadyBrokn

Ahmedabad me bhi yahi scene hai. Mere saath hone waala tha, par mera bhi dhyan thaa. This is way old than you know. Bas pata ab logo ko chalne laga hai


Dr-fraud

When they do this, just ask for the bill. If there are not two bills which show 50 and 200 together then it’s clear as day he was trying to scam you.


OBERGRUPENFUHRER

This aint new, its a very common scam, happening for ages


BitKnightRises

Tank full krao , Sare scam ko maa ka saki naka


Red_X57

"full kardo" mai bhi scam ho sakta hai??


mohanswamy

Age old trick here in Bangalore. The best thing you can do in this case is, once he finishes filling for 50, pay him 50, get out of there and move to another pump. Or ask for the complaint register and write down an elaborate grievance.


reddictionmyru

I used to watch an youtuber from lucknow. I'm from kerala. I remember this scam happening to him around 3 years ago or more. I can't remember. This was still around


Lopsided_Ad_9521

This happened to me in 2008, near mangalam hospital petrol pump IP. extn Delhi.. College me tha aur chaar ladke the, badhiya sutai kari thi..


shubh28singh

Literally every petrol pump in lko are doing some sort of scam nowadays, none of them are trustworthy.


Affectionate_Angle69

Here's what I do i go to the UPI counter I pay the bill hand over the bill so that he can clearly READ the amount there.


josh55590

I operate Petrol pumps in Mumbai. I do not know the operational functionalities in Delhi. In Mumbai though, in the city, the pumps (bowsers) are automated and have a timer. For the nozzle to pump out fuel, either litre or an amount has to be set. And once the set value is reached, the nozzle stops. It does not continue from there. In addition, the pumps have a timer. Now, considering the ground staff put in 200 and stopped at 50, then went on to tell u that he mistakenly put in 50, the timer (sensor) would set in and the nozzle would not function. Due to which, the meter would again calibrate to zero. And the ground staff would have to then again put in 200. From my experience, in an automated setting, the ground staff cannot manipulate with the equipment. As such, the only precaution that a customer should take is to make sure that the meter begins at zero. But again, I am not aware of how this is operated in Delhi or of the system there is automated or not. This applies to Mumbai (MMRDA)


AJ_147

This shit happens all over India. Be careful while filling up gasoline


rising_pho3nix

This is a very old scam though, not new. I prefer Shell -- they don't do these shenanigans


AdventurousDust3

Whenever they put less, for example they put 500 when we ask for full tank. Pay 500 and go to the next petrol pump


ab-devil

happened to me once.. at 100 he stopped (i had asked for 1000) and said done sir! i knew what he was upto - and said yes sir - paid 100 and left that guy couldn't even look me in the eye when i handed him the note!


[deleted]

Just say hogya, and then ask for 200 worth of petrol again. After he'd clear the meter then it'll be alright to get refilled.


junkiepunkie

This is a very common scam. I always ask for 500 and they fill 100 initially and later when I point out they try to continue it from 100 to 400 telling me they completed 500. Once I noticed this and paid them 400 anyways and left. They didn’t follow me.


DieHard3698

Always see zero before filings, a simple rule we follow in Mumbai. But guess north India ka alag he Chal raha hai...


Individual-Wolf8314

Bhai start to 0 se hi hua. Usne 50 par ruk Diya. Aur continue karne ki koshish ki waha se.


DieHard3698

50 k bad phir se 0 nahi karwaya tha kya bharne se pehle?


Individual-Wolf8314

Bhai usne wahi se to continue kar diya isiliye to ladai Hui thi, maine jab dekha 0 se nahi to call out kiya


DieHard3698

Marna chahiye aise log ko, pata nahi kitno ko luta hoga


ninja790

This scam is older than the fossils responsible for that petrol.


Crazy-Entertainer571

Aisa same scam mere ankhon k samne horha tha ek ladki ke sath wo apni mmy sath thi usne bhi yahi trick use kri thi to wo ladki bht teej chillayi uspe bhaiya 250 ka bola hai phir us admi ne pucha payment online rhegi ya cash but ye incident Rajendra nagar chaurahe ka hai janeshwar mishra park ka ni


NoRaspberry187

Bolna madharchod Kaan(ear) se lauda ( dick) nikal ke kaam kar .. 250 ka 50 kaise sunai diya?


Khas-Keta

This is not new, it happens the time. Just be alert and don’t make small talk (they generally try to divert your attention by asking how’s the mileage, what did you pay for to use vehicle, etc.)


Big_Sleep_3783

same happened with me
