Just before the Lok Sabha elections, the Central Government has given relief to the general public by reducing the prices of petrol and diesel by two rupees each. This modest reduction had the most significant impact on those who are poor and rely on their bikes or scooters for daily commute, including many who work in the fields. This reduction of two rupees will be a big relief for them.
However, many people are falling victim to scams every day and don't even realize it. Scammers are often changing the color of the nozzle, making it difficult for people to differentiate between normal and high-powered petrol. As a result, people get tricked into buying more expensive petrol thinking they are getting a cheaper one.
The worst affected by this scam are the poor, who may not be educated or observant enough to notice the fraud. They only see zero on the meter at the petrol pump and assume that they are getting cheap petrol. However, in reality they are paying Rs 7 per liter more for the higher priced petrol.
To avoid becoming a victim of such scams, always pay attention to whether you are taking normal petrol or high power petrol. Don't hesitate to ask the petrol pump attendant about this. If you do not do this, you may become a victim of the scam of buying expensive petrol instead of cheap and you may have to return home after buying it.
