Scams to watch for in Haiti
- Inflated prices for foreign shoppersForeign visitors may be quoted at least twice the usual market price. Bargaining is expected in informal markets.
- High airport taxi quotesDrivers may ask up to US$20 for a ride into town. A fare of US$10 or even US$5 is described as more reasonable, though the price should be checked before travelling.
- Pressure from market sellersSellers may grab visitors to get their attention in a very crowded market. This is pressure to engage or buy; it does not by itself prove fraud.
