“The easy way to avoid this scam is to pay cash which is what I do”. Admin
You’re standing at the pump, card already swiped, gas flowing. A guy walks up. Maybe he’s friendly, maybe he looks like he works there. He asks a simple question: “Can I fill your tank for you?” or “Want me to hang that nozzle back up for you?”
That question is the opening move in one of the fastest-growing rip-offs at gas stations across the country right now. It’s called pump switching, and it’s costing people hundreds of dollars per incident. If someone you don’t know approaches you at the pump and asks to help with your gas, that’s your cue to finish up, hang the nozzle yourself, and get out of there.
