BEWARE. Police suggested I post this here. A scam in the form of illegal extra charges on credit cards is taking place here. At least one cashier is carrying this out. He sets the gas machines to reject credit cards with the direction to see cashier inside the minimart. When I asked why the automated payment system asked me to come inside, he said immediately,""You typed in the wrong zip code (I have never before had a credit card rejected for zip code error) and he then asks me for my zip code, which I studidly gave him, and then he takes my credit card. As I stood at his desk another woman was likewise in line because the screen outside told her she had to come inside. After he has your zip code and credit card number, he told me ""You you don't have to come back into the minimart -just pump as much as you want."" For what should have been a $30-$35 dollar gas purchase, I was charged $65 on my credit card and I had made no puchases inside the store. There is also a high liklihood that a related scam identity theft data gathering is going on the parking lot outsiide. It's a promotional campaign in which attractive young women who look like cheerleaders are selling car wax and car cleaning clothes ""for Nascar"" and are involved in the gathering of personal information. They ask for address numbers, telephone numbers, etc. I see that right here in 2007 someone else posted a warning about the fraud going on at this station. . BEWARE of the group of young women working for ""MRC Direct"" of Chula Vista, CA who are approaching customers near the gas pumps to sell bottles of wax at gas stations or elsewhere and of this gas station/minimart. They phone you afterwards claiming the credit card number didn't go through when it actually did and they phone you soon afterward to try to get yet another credit card number from youm falsely claiming your first credit card number did not go through..
