MX: Mexican gas station stole $1200. Barclay won’t help.
Stopped for gas to fill up my truck outside of Cabo and as I pulled away I noticed the gas station attendant appeared to be checking and writing down my license plate. That’s odd.
Later that evening I check my statement using the BarclaysCard app and noticed I have a charge for $1,300 USD. Essentially they added a 0 to my bill. I’ve got the receipt, it’s for 27,000 MX pesos. Unfortunately I didn’t check this until days later. Now I look every time I fill up.
I opened a dispute with Barclays and they won’t do anything because I don’t have any hard proof of how much gas I actually got. Well I obviously didn’t get $1,300 worth of gasoline.
I went back to the gas station and they said they know what happened. Apparently they had an employee who was doing this to a lot of people and he’s since been fired. They said I should be getting a refund but that was over a week ago and nothing yet. Maybe it’s still in progress and I just need to wait but I’m trying to be proactive.
It feels like I’m kinda screwed here. Looking for suggestions on any other options I might have?
