A 45-year-old woman living in America filled petrol worth Rs 22 lakh in her car in a year without spending a single penny. Don Thompson took advantage of a glitch in the software of a petrol pump in Nebraska to buy petrol for his four-wheeler every day. This extraordinary incident left the netizens astonished and curious to know more about it. After discovering irregularities in the records of the petrol pump, the owners started an investigation. In which Don Thompson’s free petrol case was exposed.
According to the report of ‘letest news999’, Dawn Thompson used to use her loyalty card daily to pay for petrol at a petrol pump in Nebraska. Little did he know that in 2022, a software update at the petrol pump would give him free access to petrol for life. Due to a glitch in the updated software, loyalty card holders got the opportunity to activate the demo mode by swiping their card twice at the petrol pump. Due to this, there is no need to make any payment for all the transactions done during the demo mode.
The woman took advantage of the loophole
After discovering this loophole, Don Thompson allegedly deliberately took advantage of the opportunity and started visiting petrol pumps repeatedly to get free petrol. She managed to refill her tank 510 times within a year, often visiting the petrol pump twice a day. A year later, discrepancies in the petrol pump’s records prompted the owners to launch an investigation. After investigation, it was found that Don Thompson had taken advantage of the loophole and obtained petrol worth $22,000 i.e. about Rs 22 lakh without paying a single penny.
