A few days back I went to a petrol pump in Bangalore.
I was aware of the petrol pump scam which is pretty common in Pune. If you are not vigilant enough they will scan you like professional. They are so proficient and confident, that even when you guess that they are doing something wrong but they will easily convince you that you are mistaking.
Now let's talk about the Scam.

Now let's talk about the Scam.
The Scam:
Part 1. When you say the amount like Five hundred, they will start filling your tank without confirming the amount. Before starting he will ask you to verify that he is starting from zero saying "See zero on the meter" something like this.
Part 2. Then they will stop at 100. You will say that you said 500 previously. That time he will engage you in words like "Sorry, I didn't hear you properly for the first time." and will start to pour in Fuel. This time he will not make sure you can not verify that he is starting from zero either engaging you in conversation or blocking your view of the counter screen.
Part 3. This is the last and final step to make a fool of you and scam you. He will stop at 400 and will say "Previously 100 and now 400, 500 is done now." and will ask you to pay 500.
