A Nebraska woman allegedly found a lucrative quirk at a gas station pump — double-swipe the rewards card and get free gas!
Unfortunately for her, you can’t do that, prosecutors said. The 45-year-old woman was arrested March 6 and faces felony theft charges accusing her of a crime that cost the gas station nearly $28,000.
Prosecutors say the woman exploited the system over a period of several months. Police learned of the problem in October when the loss-prevention manager at Bosselman Enterprises reported that the company’s Pump & Pantry in Lincoln had been scammed.
What if you just went on foot with 5 gallon containers, didn’t do it frequently, and never went to the same gas station a second time?
Might be an option. But if you never went a second time you’d run out of stations that are reasonably close. But yeah going on foot and not doing it a lot might be an option… Unless the card was in your name lol
