On 7 march, the inspection unit of the market monitoring authority of machou city received reports of problems with the refuelling system at two gas stations in the border area of yongcheng city and yu city county. The whistleblowers indicated that, while the fuel was refuelled in accordance with the figures shown in the refuelling machine interface, both the amount of the fuel and the amount of the cash were matched, there were always errors in the fuel meter data in the vehicle and insufficient refuelling. Law enforcement officers immediately investigate。
A preliminary analysis by law enforcement officials indicates that if refuelling stations cheat on the fuel measurement chain, only changes to computer programs can control oil output. The law enforcement officers then joined the psp and divided into three groups to control the front computers, emergency power and refuelling machines at the two stations. In the course of the inspection, law enforcement officials found greasy hidden in the shadows at each of the two gas stations。
The chief of the inspection section of the market supervision authority of the city of comuncre: the computer found anti-facility software to be used to detect fraud. Our law enforcement officers then debugged the computer mainframes that managed the refuellers, which, by re-emergence on the spot, could have been fraudulent。
We've found the cat
At the mansha gas station in young city, law enforcement officials found another extension of the front computer. Following the line, the extension was found to be connected to another computer in the fuel station duty room. A computer connected to the front office was also found by law enforcement officers in a miscellaneous room at the gas station in shunhong, yu city county. In the course of the inspection, one of the stations suddenly lost power。
The black screen computer was suddenly interrupted for one time by law enforcement officers. Each station is required to have a back-up power supply and is less likely to be out of power. Law enforcement personnel suspected that the power outage was artificial。
The chief of the inspection section of the market oversight authority of the mungchu city has the highest success: the power outage will restore the fraud system to normal. He's just trying to circumvent our measurement tests, because they detect errors。
The maximum allowable error for fuel refuelling units is ± 0. 30 per cent, in accordance with the provisions of the national measurement and inspection protocol of the people's republic of china. Upon enquiry, the directors of both stations acknowledged the use of the metering system, which was subsequently seized by the market regulator and returned to the specialized department for further data recovery and validation, such as computers measuring fraud。
More than three times the maximum margin allowed by the state
Suspected fraud
Following more than a month of judicial scrutiny, in recent days the law enforcement officials of the market in the city of machou have finally determined the offences of two gas stations。
The mandatory certification bodies have validated computer fraud systems, computer hosts and encryption software used at two gas stations and, by reading the data stored in the computers, have confirmed that the two gas stations have been able to perform fraud measurements through the fraud system, with a positive error factor of 1. 02 per cent, which is more than three times the national standard ±0. 30 per cent maximum allowable error for fuel refuelling. The two gas stations involved began measuring fraud in july 2023, amounting to nearly $96,000。
The chief of the inspection section of the market supervision authority of the city of mungchou is highly successful: these two stations use measuring devices that defraud consumers, which constitute elements of the offence of fraud and the amount of the offence has been assessed as having reached the condition of fraud. As a next step, the market supervision authority of the city of machou referred the case to the public security organs in accordance with the law。
The case is still pending。
