An instruction was given to refuel my vehicle with diesel. The attendant refuelled my vehicle with undeaded petrol. He did not notify my of the at the time. He processed the transacion as filling with diesel @ 15:59. He then, without telling me, let me drive off. He then proceeded to perform a manual transaction to correct the first @ 16:01. After driving +- 100m my vehicle came to stop. Only then did the attendant and his supervisor tell me about the incorrect fuel. According to Landreover SA there is spesific procedure to be followed to repair my vehicle. The General Manager and part owner of this fuelling station now refuses to pay for the recommendation as per Landrover standard.
I drove with my dad's Honda Civic from Middelburg to Johannesburg on Sunday 6 September 09 and had to stop at the Total Filling station as I was running low on fuel. My dad asked that I put 95 Unleaded petrol in the car but after checking I found that the garage had no 95 Unleaded petrol so I had to fill up with 93 Unleaded petrol. After driving off I looked at my slip again and found that the slip stated that I was charged for 43.28L of ULPLRP 95. Obviously the 95 Unleaded is more expensive than the 93 but they did not even have 95 Unleaded for which I was charged for. How many times have they been able to get away with this? I am absolute shocked at this. Furthermore the service provided at the filling station has never been good (unfriendly and dirty). In future I will rather avoid a TOTAL garage as these two filling stations don't seem to be 'serious about service' enough.

Another scam in the name of Total Oil and Gas Company.
I got contacted from a reputable vacancy ad website, offering me the position of Senior Project Manager.
The scam was essentially the same and rather simple - very official language, asking for copies of documents and also a face-to-face interview in their office in Watford, UK.
The scamming part comes from their insisting on using their partner travel agency, and to pay about 900 quid for the travel expenses (initially), to show the candidate's "commitment". We didn't fall for it, but I'm assuming that more expense were to come had we sent them the initial 900.
I've come across other similar scams, all of them using TOTAL Oil and Gas name, but with different variations and travel agencies:

I shall paste the email and their contact details here to warn anyone who is tempted buy such a lavish job offer in UK.

That still going on... I received today the same offer job from Giancarlo di Santo email address gianfranco.disanto@teletu.it and signed by Mr Martins Moore (Recruitment coordinator).
My point is, what they do with all documents they receive? That is very dangerous...
Just to let everyone knows that this is still going on!
I applied to a project manager position on Linkedin(the job posting is already gone) and received a letter asking me to contact a travel agency so I could go to an interview in London on April 4th 2016.
Just to let everyone knows that this is still going on!
I applied to a project manager position on LinkeIn (the job posting is already gone) and received a letter asking me to contact a travel agency so I could go to an interview in London on October 30th.
Hope you can do anything to denounce this guys.
Dear friends! Thank you so much for warning! I'm looking for a job and yesterday I received the same letter as you all describe. The only difference is that the travel agent is crystal travel this time. The request to transfer about 2k £ was the sign.

I got the very same email from these scammers! Just another travelling agency, but even the Application Identification Number is the same! Thanks for the head's up guys! I tried to contact this Victoria Scholes via phone and the call would not even complete. After a brief conversation with the REAL HR responsible from the company (tried the number on their website) I figured the company is not fake, but the invitation DEFINETLY is.
Thanks and Regards,

I apply by Linkedin and I'm preatry sure it's SCAM/FAKE, due I review the application identification number, and it's the same for every email, please don't attend or continue with the process or make any money transfer or pay any fee, also I went to British Embassy in my country to ask if they have information releated with this company AB Coating & Construction, and they don't... Even if you search on the web, you'll found the web page for the company but is not updated since 2013. I hope this will be helpfull and try to avoid any problem for more people.
