Bill No.: 538831
This petrol pump tried to cheat by distracting me while filling fuel in my car. On request to fill Petrol worth Rs.1000/- the attendant stopped at Rs.200/- claiming that i had requested for only Rs.200/- and questioned me about the credit card that I was going to make payment with. In the mean time 2-3 attendants came to my window and blocked my view of the meter. In the course of the conversation they told me that to complete my request for Rs.1000/- they would fill additional Rs.800/-. This time he did not show me the meter reading before he begun to fill fuel. On completion my credit card was charged for Rs.1000/- and a bill was issued.
I was suspicious that the fuel gauge did not indicate that 15.8 liters had been filled hence I turned around and went back to the attendant questioning them about the quantity of fuel dispensed. On realizing that i had comprehended the situation; the attendant agreed to fill fuel for an additional Rs.200/- before i could raise an alarm in front of the other customers. They apologized for the incident claiming oversight.
Hope to bring this incident to the attention of all motorists who travel alone and are easy targets of fuel attendants. My presence of mind and quick think helped me over come this situation without any loss.
Request you to take up such incidents through your able committee.
Thank you
Regards
Ashley Fernandes
