First off, very interesting read! I was almost a victum to a scam when i went last year I had ordered the taxi via the app equivalent to Uber. When we got in the car i had noticed he never put the meter on. Lucky i had read a smiliar article before where they expressly warned you to make sure the meter is running or they will charge you an inflated amount of money. On my last day the same thing happened and i was curious to see what would happen, so i left it. after the trip he instructed i pay a HUGE sum of money, lucky i had booked off my app and it showed a fixed amount, so i ended up paying him the amount on my phone after about 10 min of arguing.
Well, I guess when it comes to traveling, just be extra cautious and do not trust anyone so easily!

Hmm, never heard about that alleged scam in HCMC though I guess anything is possible in that particularly unsavory part of town.

Yeah for someone who has been here for a while - but for a fresh newbie... they probably thought it was a standard fine.logos wrote:$30 to a traffic cop in pp ?
Tit with a capital T
I know someone who was here as a tourist, who borrowed a car and was driving without a license who forked our $150 to a cop. They were crapping themselves and probably would have paid more!
$30 would have been a bargain for them.
