It's been around for a while. It suddenly has taken off virally on facebook. Enough people like me have finally posted a bunch of links like these and it's slowing down Like the guy I referenced that I wanted light up, he was screaming at the attendant that they were ripping everyone off. He was calling the cops and everything
LOL!! Truth be told I've only "heard" of the scam screw, but I think this means I can stop looking for a screw sticking out somewhere to keep the pump handle from either seating or shutting off the pump / closing the transaction. I was looking for anything at the pumps with the lift handle at the bottom where you have to flip it up to begin pumping gas.
🤣
I mean, we're getting screwed at the pump anyway...
The whole story is false. The screw is there as a temporary fix to allow the pump to even turn on. When the nozzle is returned the pump shuts off.. At this point people are just being punked
