Scams to watch for in Congo
- Taxi fare disputesTaxis have no meters. If you start a journey without agreeing on the fare, you leave the price open to dispute. In Pointe-Noire, shared rides and direct trips have different prices, so make sure you agree on which service you want.
- Higher artisan prices for visitorsPrices differ by customer. A trustworthy local buyer may get the same item for half the visitor price or less. This creates a risk of paying a large visitor markup.
- Poor exchange rates for British poundsBritish pounds receive very poor exchange rates. This can leave you with much less local cash than expected. A poor rate is not by itself proof of fraud.
