Gas Station Scam! - this is not rumor. A local Pemex station is now
copying the scams in Cabo stations by flipping the meter on/off/on
and changing the amount. They do it real fast when you are not
looking. Last week my wife filled up her car and they charged her
for 32 gallons. The cars max is 23 gallons. You have to stand and
watch them 100% of the time. -- name withheld by request
Editor's Note - Resetting the pump has been widely reported here and
elsewhere, and is unfortunately a common ploy that can occur at any
gas station anywhere in Mexico. One variation is for the attendant
to set the meter to 100 pesos and then pretend to pump gas without
actually doing so. He then asks for the $100 pesos, even though you
may have asked him to fill your tank. He'll then offer to fill your
tank and add the amount onto the $100 pesos for the phantom gas he
did not pump. If you are at all in doubt, our advice is to make sure
the meter is set to "00.00" and then continue to watch to ensure the
attendant squeezes the pump lever and that the meter really is
running. If the attendant attempts to block your view of the meter,
you're being scammed.
Another tactic is for two or more attendants to divert your
attention by offering to wash your windshield, check your tire
pressure or radiator water. If you think you're being ripped off,
ask the attendant for his name, ask for a receipt, ask to see the
manager, and then report the incident. If you're uncomfortable with
confronting a Ladrón (thief), take the information and receipt to
the Policia and file a complaint. If enough people complain, this
can be stopped.
You should also report violations to
PROFECO. PROFECO is the Mexican Better Business
Bureau, and has an excellent website where you can enter claims
against a gas station or other business. To file a complaint in
English, click here:
profeco.gob.mx/formas/f_3i_quejas.htm. . There
are also two Email addresses where you can voice your complaint;
extranjeros@profeco.gob.mx and
denunciasgasolina@profeco.gob.mx. You should include the
State and City, the Station Number, and Station Name. Get the
receipt or nota from the station to have the correct and complete
name. Without a formal complaint, your problem will fall on deaf
ears just like anywhere in the world. Documentation counts, and it
works.
Also, one tip is to print out the
PROFECO LOGO and attach it inside the window near
your gas tank filler or on the inside of the filler flap. Type in
PROFECO's phone number, 01800 468 8722, and how many liters of
gasoline your tank holds (1
Gallon = 3.78541 liters) This will alert the attendant
that you're aware of rip offs and are willing to report them. - The

ANSWERS -
DISCUSSIONS-
This category must have name and/or email address.
a. Notary Discussion:
1) You absolutely CAN get US paperwork notarized right
here in LB! Just go to the Notaria in the Plaza del Pueblo
and speak to Crystal, who is agent #22 of the only official
notary in all Mexico. She is recognized under the Hague Act
as a legal representative to stamp and hologram your
documentation. In April we had her notarize our sale of WA
property Title Exchange and it was completed and emailed to
us as well as the original handed to us in 20 minutes to
have mailed by a friend flying north. Within 3 days the
transfer was finalized, no problema, you don't have to go
all the way to San Jose! The notary fee is $50 USD, Crystal
does this all the time. Maine$Cat@gmail.com
