Park Ridge NJ, a gas station attendant at Delta Gas in Park Ridge has been accused of repeatedly overcharging customers, according to police reports released on Tuesday.
Allegations of Fraud
The unnamed attendant, working at the Kinderkamack Road Delta Gas station, allegedly manipulated credit card transactions to charge customers more than the actual amount. When customers noticed the discrepancy and confronted him, he would feign a mistake and return the overcharged amount, police said.
Investigation and Charges
The Park Ridge Police Department’s Detective Bureau conducted a three-week investigation, leading to the arrest of a 30-year-old man from Westwood. He has been charged with one count of theft by deception. The investigation suggested that the gas station owner was unaware of the fraudulent activities.
Extent of Overcharging
While police confirmed that the overcharging incidents occurred multiple times, they did not provide specific details on the number of occurrences or the total amount involved.
Public Advisory
The police department concluded the report by advising citizens to stay vigilant during the refueling process. They emphasized the importance of monitoring the final prices and charges to credit cards to avoid falling victim to such scams.
As this case unfolds, it serves as a reminder to always double-check your transactions and remain alert to potential fraud, even in routine activities like refueling your vehicle.
