7 liters of gasoline charges 760 yuan. This is something that even a driver, Mr. Chao, encountered. On October 8, when Mr. Chao drove to Zhoukou section of Anluo Expressway, the car suddenly ran out of gas and couldn't drive at all. He subconsciously took out his mobile phone and searched online, found a so-called rescue phone, and then encountered the "high-priced gasoline". After investigation, it was found that the rescue personnel who went to deliver gasoline were not regular rescue teams on the highway. In response, the Zhoukou Expressway Traffic Police angrily scolded: "Are you crazy about money?"

According to reports, after finding out that the car had no gas, Mr. Chao was very anxious. Because he had never encountered such a thing before, he didn't know what to do for a moment. At a loss, he subconsciously searched through the mobile phone network and found a phone call that claimed to be a highway rescue. After the call, the other party said that Mr. Chao would pay 1,000 yuan in errands first, and they would send Mr. Chao gasoline within 20 minutes and then charge the gas money. Finally, after bargaining, Mr. Chao transferred 760 yuan, and the other party agreed to arrange for someone to send 10 liters of gasoline.

Mr. Chao, who was in a hurry, didn't think much about it and immediately transferred 760 yuan to the other party through WeChat, hoping to get on sooner. However, after waiting for nearly an hour, a vehicle with a license plate from Henan P came, claiming that it was sent by the rescue company to deliver fuel, but only more than 7 liters of gasoline.

Not long after adding fuel, Mr. Chao met a policeman from the Fifth Brigade of the Highway Traffic Police Detachment of Zhoukou Public Security Bureau when he passed by the Fugou West Toll Station of the Anluo Expressway, and called the police to tell him about his experience. The police judged that Mr. Chao had mostly encountered a copycat rescue company. Although the WeChat avatar left by the other party was a photo of the rescue vehicle, the address he filled in was outside the province and the toll was so expensive. This was definitely not a regular rescue team on the highway.

The police told Mr. Chao that there are professional rescue teams on the highway, and there will be no situation where money is transferred first and then rescue will not occur. In case of such situations, please call 110 in time to call the police for help.

Then, according to the clues provided by Mr. Chao, the highway traffic police seized the vehicle and driver who delivered gasoline. Faced with the driver who denied the scattered rescue platform, the police asked the soul to question: "I'm crazy about money! Isn't you robbing money like this?" After some criticism and education, the driver who delivered the oil returned Mr. Chao's 200 yuan fee, and asked Mr. Chao to look for the Internet platform for the rest.

In response to Mr. Chao’s experience, the highway traffic police reminded that if the driver encounters a vehicle failure on the highway, he should first park the vehicle in the emergency parking belt, turn on the warning light, place a tripod sign 150 meters behind the vehicle in the direction of the driving, evacuate to a safe position outside the guardrail, and quickly call the expressway service number 12122 or 110 to call the alarm. Remember not to easily believe other rescue phone calls and transfer requirements on the Internet of unknown origin to avoid unnecessary losses.

At present, the highway traffic police have handed over the case to the Fugou County Public Security Bureau for further processing.
