I know there are sighted readers that are subscribed to this blog, but there are some blind and disabled people who may pay for gas. This may be because they pay for a driver and paying for gas is part of the deal. They may assist someone who is not paid but driving on a regular basis by paying for gas.
Whoever you are, komando.com sent out an email about gas scams that will make off with your personal information. Its quite interesting what scammers will do to make off with your info, isn’t it?
Don’t fall for these gas scams at the pump is the article.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a great solution to this problem, since even the gas companies have incentives to save money, but according to what I’ve read, its cents to the galon not a percent.
At one point, at least on my Capital One account, if I were to pay for gas, I think it could’ve been 3 to 5 percent instead of the 1 percent cash back I get everywhere else. I’m not sure if that is the case now, but I know I get 1.5 percent back, and while at another site recently, the Capital One Eno said I could get 17 percent cash back.
I remember the site in question, but that’s also what this article talks about. They link to a couple of gas apps that you can use. The JRN does not know if these applications are accessible, but mostly sighted would be using them anyway.
I figured I’d pass this along as we do have a mixture of readers on here, and you never know who this could benefit. Stay safe and thanks for reading!
