One of the common scam tricks is to slip a penny hack under the guise of something vital. And it's good too, if you are sold something just useless. It's even more dangerous.
On the morning of February 9, one of the entrances to a five-story residential building in Novosibirsk collapsed from a household gas explosion.. Thirteen people died. Three days earlier two, who introduced themselves as employees of Mezhregiongazservis, changing pipes in the house, supplying gas to kitchen stoves. Both arrested for two months for investigation.
I inform you in plain text: scammers pretend to be employees of gas services almost more often, than for anyone else. Natural gas leaks easily and its mixture with air explodes over a very wide range of compositions.. clear, almost everyone living in houses, where is the gas, try to monitor the condition of the equipment. And this effort is easy to parasitize. for example, they offer a leak sensor for exorbitant money - usually a dummy, even without gas analyzers, but the one who makes sounds randomly. If you trust this, there is a risk of not noticing a real leak.. Arrested in Novosibirsk assure, that certified tubes were installed - but certificates are now being forged, so that serious organizations work directly with trusted suppliers. in short, check, whether a real employee of a properly authorized structure came for scheduled inspections and prevention, or who knows who knows why.
But I'm warning you openly: There are worse things than fraud. A few years ago, a video was popular on the Internet that seemed to be a telephone conversation with a child., left at home alone: the voice from the tube instructed, how to open the taps of the gas stove supposedly to check, then calmly leave the kitchen - play or relax. Plaintext ask: what if the terrorists take the idea into service? Leaving home, turn off the gas valves, inaccessible to children. And generally remember: gas is a source of increased danger, deserving of careful consideration.
