A scheme that even involved simulating smoke coming out of the vehicle took place at the gas station network owned by businessman Fabrício Correa Barros. In the audios that were released, the owner of the establishments appears persuading employees to deceive customers, and if they did not, they were threatened with dismissal.
A former network attendant reported that one of the scams was to simulate smoke coming out of the car to deceive the customer, causing him to perform certain services without need. For this, they used a syringe with oil to put in contact with the hot engine, so that the oil evaporated and smoked. Thus, the customer believed that the vehicle could be in trouble.
Those who fell for the coup were charged a very high price. One of the people who was a victim of the gas station, José, went just to fill up the vehicle and left with a bill of R$ 1,300. According to him, he was forced to change the oil and the prices were absurdly high. To get an idea, the amount charged for a liter of oil was R$ 149.00, which is normally R$ 44.00. In view of this, the family of the elderly person filed a complaint about the case.
Since 2018 these complaints had been made, but Fabricio always found a way to get around the situation and perfect the blows. Similar cases have also been recorded in other states of Brazil, such as São Paulo, which in 2022 alone has already registered more than 14 complaints of this type.
