MALLORCA TODAY - Further gas scam operation

The Balearics representative of a company described as a national one "dedicated to the installation and inspection of butane and propane supply" has been arrested by police on suspicion of having operated a scam which included threatening a female victim with being fined up to 1600 euros if she did not allow an inspection for which she then had to pay 400 euros. There are other allegations stemming from this police operation which appears to be a different one to that which was being reported last month (21 February, Guardia action against butane scam).
