Methods of taking money from motorists in a relatively fair way by “car repair” fraudsters, as experience shows, do not fundamentally change over the years. But the form
Many car owners have already heard about the fraudulent scheme to impose the repair of a perfectly maintained car. This is the one over the course of the game, from the car next to you, they begin to gesture intensely and draw your attention to the fact that there is allegedly some kind of malfunction in the car. When you stop to see what happened, the “caring driver”, sometimes in the company of an accomplice, splashes oil unnoticed under the floor of your passenger car. And anxiously reports that you have to open the hood – to find out what happened. He picks it up himself, after you have unlocked the lock, and splashes oil on the engine again unnoticed. And then, poking at the grease stains, which are said to be pouring out of the cylinder block, he whimpers and urgently advises sending the car to the nearest auto service, which (what a coincidence!) even has its own tow truck.
If you follow the example of this citizen, the employees of the gas station recommended by him will simply disassemble and assemble the engine without changing or repairing anything there (since everything is in fact in order), but then they will pay a huge fee for it. their services. Roughly according to this methodology, a ‘responsive driver’ on the road and the ‘nearest car service’ ‘work together’, in fact hard-to-prove fraud. Novices, seniors and girls behind the wheel are victims more often than others.
However, there are also lone drivers who are little versed in technology and are easily susceptible to psychological manipulation. At one time, this type of “divorce” was very common, but then, apparently, too many motorists found out about it, and therefore the effectiveness of such a “business model” declined and, accordingly, its popularity faded. But now, judging by the numerous posts on social networks and calls to the editors of the AvtoVzglyad portal, the type of fraud described is reborn in a new form.
Rogues usually work on suburban highways, in the area of intersections, where cars pile up waiting for a tolerant traffic light in hot conditions. One of the attackers, as it were, crosses the road between stationary cars, deliberately stumbles in front of the victim’s car and imperceptibly splashes antifreeze or plain water from below into the radiator grille of the vehicle. Then he gets up and walks on, out of sight.
Some of the spray flies through the decorative plastic of the grille and hits the engine’s hot cooling radiator, heating up quickly and beginning to evaporate. The first villain’s partner, noticing the white “smoke” under the hood of the target car, waits for his appearance on the stage in a car parked nearby, rushes to the victim and starts the standard “divorce” – procedure – frightening with a boiled engine – followed by oiling the engine, recommendations of “good service is not far away” and other features of the classic “divorce for repair”.
In general, if after the appearance of a person next to the car you suddenly see steam from under the hood, do not panic and do not heed the advice of business benefactors who accidentally appeared nearby. And in no case do not open the hood in their presence! Look at the engine temperature gauge on the dashboard of the car. Does it indicate a normal temperature? Take it easy and go your own way. Later, stop somewhere in the allowed spot and, in the absence of strangers, look under the hood – to make sure everything is really okay there.
