petrol scam
 

just been shopping in Brent Cross London and returned to my car and smelt
petrol... a man came running up and said
look your leaking petrol,,,, yes petrol all over the inner wheel arch by the
tank

The man said he had a friend who would look at it, who was having a cup of
tea... phoned him on his mobile


five minute he came , yes he can fix it, no cant drive off like that, £50
should do it, go and have a cup of tea and get money

So I asked him what is was... leaking fuel connector pipe.. he had one in
his van

So I said ok but I will have to phone BP... why he asked?..the car is a Golf
1.9 diesel...(no badge on the 1.9L)....BP must have sold me petrol... he
didn't stay long, ran of like a hare

don't suppose he poured a bit of petrol on your car while you weren't
looking, then was planning to wipe it off and charge you £50 ?

Obvious in the clear light of day, but useful to be aware in that
situation, its easy to be bamboozled. Like the cash-card swipers that
distract you just as you get money out but before your card

I thought most cashpoints return the card first, and only offer the
cash one it's taken.
