Fraud by Petrol Pumps in NCR

This is for the information of the General public, a incident that happened with me today (3rd May 2011) at MATTA Automobiles (Bharat Petroleum Dealer), Road No 56, Gazipur, Delhi 96.
I went at the petrol pump to refuel my car & asked the attendant to full my tank ( I am a regular customer of this outlet for past 4-5 years), the attendant started on the meter and one of the other attendants came to me and asked me to fill a lucky draw slip, the moment I started filling up the slip, the person who was fueling the tank of my car said that electricity has gone and reset the meter without showing the reading to me, he told me that petrol worth Rs 340 has been put in my tank till this time. After resetting the petrol worth 1800 Rs was put in the tank, so as per him total petrol worth 2140 Rs was put, which was not possible as my car fuel tank doesn't have this much of capacity( and around 6 liter petrol was already there), I told him this and finally he took 1900 Rs from me. I took the bill and the lucky draw slip which I had filled (which is not even valid as per the date given in the slip).

These things have become very common in NCR region, I would suggest all of you to take extra caution (Specially when paying by credit card) while visiting the petrol pumps.

Most important thing while paying by credit card is don't sign ( don't handover) the credit card till you have closed the fuel tank after it has been refueled.

Please spread the word!!!!!
