“Your car is throwing sparks”If some one says this, don’t get panic

“Your car is throwing sparks, it might blast. Get off the car. “
If some one says this, don’t get panic, open your eyes and use your brain. Beware its a racket happening specially in chakala area of Andheri, Mumbai.

Yes, I have experienced, but survived from one such incident today.

These crooks gang comprise of following actors and may be even more.

A pedestrian – who alerts about sparks from your car railings and vanishes.

A passing by driver – who pretends to be helping the victim, but by loosening some wires under the car hood he gives the victim a demo of  sparks from his car and further engages victim in his talk, while his partner steals valuables from your car.

a rickshaw driver – who also points finger on car railing to draw attention and to make the scene look more realistic.

A vicinity branded car showroom mechanic introduced by above mentioned driver – asks for changing some part and gives you a heavy charge of Rs. 8000/-.
He also gives you easy payment option and directs victim to nearest atm for money withdrawal and bullies if the victim denies.

Friends, going to police is also practically of no use, as they in turn blame victim of trusting strangers.

Beware, This is a big racket happening and multiple people are involved in this gang of crooks. Today I wasted my four valuable working hours, but have learnt a very important lesson of not to rely on strangers and to use our own brain in solving problems. Hope this effort of writing this blog post will help you guys in some way or other. Good luck!
