Scams to watch for in Cuba
- Taxi fare inflation and price switchingA driver quotes an inflated fare before departure or demands more on arrival. They may claim you misunderstood the agreed amount. Airport fares agreed in advance may also be inflated.
- Friendly invitations that lead to an inflated billA friendly stranger invites you for food or drinks. The venue charges you two to three times the normal price and shares the extra money with them. In Central Havana, a person or couple may offer to practise English and suggest drinks while waiting for a supposed Buena Vista Social Club performance. Some also demand payment for their company.
- Fake or dubious discount cigarsTouts sell convincing-looking cigars of uncertain authenticity. Some may be genuine but stolen or untaxed. In Habana Vieja, sellers may claim a Cigar Festival is happening today or offer access to a Cigar Cooperativa selling from homes. They may pressure you to buy a whole box.
