Scams to watch for in Ivory Coast
- Pickpocketing in crowded placesThieves take belongings while crowds make it harder to notice someone reaching into a bag or pocket. Busy transport areas are a particular concern.
- Airport taxi overcharging and false pickup feesAirport drivers may quote a high fare, especially to visitors who speak little French. Some claim they must pay a fee to collect passengers and use this to justify the price. Taxi meters are rare and described as not working, so the fare needs to be settled before departure.
- Demands for bribes at military checkpointsAn officer may pressure a traveller for an unofficial payment during a checkpoint stop. Bribes are described as commonplace in Abidjan, especially when travelling in a private car. A checkpoint stop alone does not mean someone is trying to obtain a bribe.
