What a problem gasoline for Italians! Fuels are becoming more and more expensive and the famous cut on excise duties promised by the government expires soon.
The Government has effectively intervened on the cost of fuels with the well-known cut in excise duties, but in early May this cut ends and fuels could return to 2.2 euros per liter or even more.
But now the scams from the gas station who are mobilizing the police all over Italy. But let’s understand better.
Insidious scams
Certainly there is no lack of imagination to the Italian scam gas stations even if it must be said that most of them are honest. But a bit of everything was found at Italian petrol stations.
There are gas station attendants who stretch the gasoline with water or other substances. For them this is a saving but for the motorist it is a fraud and it also risks damage the car. But the most dangerous scams are quite different. In fact, there are also those puts up a sign with a low price, but then tampered with the dispenser to deliver less fuel than indicated by the display and make an unfair crest. They were found and fined a lot’.
The worst scams
But the worst scams are those carried out by those who put them in tanks of Italian cars of substances capable of ruining them. These are combustible fluids that may offer the appearance of being able to replace fuel, but they are illegal and ruin cars. This is especially the case with diesel. In fact, very often very honest gasoline attendants mix diesel with oils of various origins much cheaper but also poorer and so the risk for the engine increases. But the worst scam is the one capable of empty the accounts and unfortunately there is a lot circulating.
The scam that empties accounts
This scam is running a lot and exploits the right one will of the Italians to save in this period. Poverty is rampant in Italy due to inflation and war (there are no Italians who ask for a basic income on the European Union website to receive a guaranteed minimum). The scammers have come up with a petrol coupon of considerable value. Just answer to a trivial online questionnaire to be able to have it. Woe to trust because at the end of the questionnaire the details of the credit card are asked, which will then be promptly emptied.
