For pretending to be stupid when you fully understand how the scam works. Treachery and deception are the closest thing to pure evil there is and you practice it everyday.

I understand how the scam works

You can easily thwart the scam by not leaving prior to your transaction ending. Who does that?

This isn't like the skimmers that operate in a clandestine manner to where you can't avoid it.

Both guys being confronted and playing stupid are wearing shirts with the Shell logo on them, one of whom appeared getting ready to pump gas on the rigged pump.

Continuing to do it doesn’t absolve you. You can’t trick your way out of your lies buddy.

They'd be some of the easiest criminals on earth to convict considering this would all be on camera.

from a neutral observer, you're the one who derailed this thread fwiw. Not him.

He asked why the frick would people leave the pump before their transaction is complete/final. Which is a valid question.

Did he finally call the police? Stupid if they just take the screw out and he leaves. Put it right back in. Lot of yelling.

And that had already been explained and is very common. I like that you’ve left out he went back on that and is now looking for other way to absolve the criminals of their criminality.

That is a Felony theft. Dude should have taken a pic of the sale price, left, and came back with the law. Then find the charge on his Card and compare it to the pic. Put those low life f’rs away.

Also get a search warrant to check the video of who pulled in right after. Zap them too.


I like the way you think... two things though. Its got to be much higher (and more likely for you to notice before it's a felony, right? aka $600 in many states.

Second, it's a shame Nick Shirley wasn't available. The world would know and President Trump would be commenting on it by now (and more lol).

Pretty sure, according to reports ... it's the Dots that are being busted for it, left and right.

We just had one of our local Dot stations busted for it today. And the one near my wife's office has screw holes where the screws go ... pics all over FB.

Credit card companies are putting 20 gal limits on number of gallons that can be pumped on Dot stations around here.

Dots are screaming RACISM. Customers who want to fill up are having it explained to them.

It's actually kinda funny imho.

But yeah ... karma kickbacks are a beyotch.

Is karma a Dot thing? Hmmmmmm? It's Hindu, amirite?
