Scam in India is as much as India's population!

This scam is about Indane Gas Cylinder.

Indane Gas Cylinder is used in millions of home's to cook & now it is a necessary goods for almost people's.

Here in the highlighted circles the weight of cylinder body (without gas) is written, normally anyone read it 15.0 kg (when you ask they will say it's 15.0) but here is the twist, it is actually 15.6kg which is made like this by scratched in digit '6’.

You will find the gross weight is again scratched and tried to make it like 29.?kg (they said 29.2kg) which is actually 29.8 kg.

Now understand the scam behind this -

Without scam —

Net weight of gas — 14.2kg

Weight of cylinder body — 15.6kg

Which make a gross weight - 14.2+15.6 = 29.8kg

Now with scam😈 they remove/Save 600g of gas to cover scam. -

Net weight of gas — 13.6kg

Weight of cylinder body — 15.6kg

Which make a gross weight — 13.6+15.6= 29.2Kg

And you will find 29.2kg during weight and think everything is fine but your cylinder has 600g less gas.(gross weight should be 29.8kg)

This scam is done for 400g to 1kg of Net gas.

So check your cylinder wisely for such type of edit or scratches before accepting it.

Check your cylinder now, and let see how many of you are facing such type of scam.👻

2) How are people fooled in India?

This buisness technique makes people fool not only in India but in whole world!

Here is a utensil cleaner product, you can see the price on each of the bottle clearly (under red circle) which is ₹110.

Website selling 4 bottle each of printed MRP at ₹110, So 4 bottle cost a total of MRP ₹440.

Now, give a look at red rectangle below in image, here they show it cost ₹490 but because there is a 10% off so you have to pay only ₹440 and you save ₹50 as discount.💥😵

If you purchase this product offline you may get one bottle for around ₹95 — ₹100.

Now see the scam/buisness technique behind the discount 😈👻First they all cost ₹490 (asking more than MRP is a crime) then they gives you 10% off and ask for ₹440 (which is its real MRP).

So never believe on the price they cut off (like in this case ₹490) they are fake and more than MRP, they are doing this to attract buyer's [This is a Buisness Technique] 🕯️🤝

Reason behind choosing this product — MRP is clearly seen on the bottle(product) so that you can believe and calculate.
