In a recent statement, Rubis, the island’s leading fuel supplier, cautioned residents about a surge in fraudulent free‑fuel promotions that have been circulating on social media and local message boards.

The company explained that scammers are posing as representatives of the fuel company, offering "free top‑up" vouchers that require users to provide personal details or pay a nominal fee to claim the promise. Rubis confirmed that no such promotion exists and urged anyone who has received a suspicious offer to report it to local authorities and to the company’s customer service line.

While the scam has yet to cause large‑scale financial loss, authorities are concerned that it may erode trust in legitimate business practices. Police have advised the public to verify any promotion through official channels, and the Bermuda Police Service is offering a hotline for tips related to this or similar schemes.

The incident comes at a time when the island’s fuel supply chain is under scrutiny following recent price adjustments. Rubis maintains that all price changes are transparent and communicated through official media and station signage. For further guidance, residents can visit the company’s website or contact their nearest service station.
