ALWAYS PRESS “CLEAR” AND/OR “CANCEL” AFTER YOU FINISH PUMPING YOUR GAS AND HAVE RECEIVED YOUR RECEIPT.
Subject: Using Debit/Credit Cards for Gas
People are getting really
desperate due to the constantly
rising gas prices.
A friend just told me about
something that happened to one
of his co workers.
She used her credit/debit card
to purchase gas at the pump
(like most of us do).
She received her receipt like normal.
However, when she checked her
statement, there were 2 $50
charges added in addition to
her purchase.
Upon investigation, she found out
that because she did not press
the 'clear' button on the
pump, the employee inside
the store was able to use her
card to purchase his/her own
gas!
To keep this from happening,
after you get your receipt,
you must press the 'CLEAR'
button or your information
will be stored until the next
customer inserts their card.
Be sure to tell
all your friends/family so that
this doesn't happen to them!
(**I had never noticed the
clear button but I got gas the
other day and sure enough it
is there. I will be using it
from now on....)
I have one of those 10$ locking gas caps on my car.Just in case.
