Scams to watch for in Mozambique
- Taxi overchargingTaxis have no meters, so the fare needs to be agreed before the journey. In Maputo, drivers often try to double city-centre fares early in the morning, when fewer taxis are available.
- Police demands for moneyPolice may use their position to demand money. A claimed fine can become an opportunity to pressure a traveller into paying without proper verification.
- Inflated shopping pricesA seller may open with a very high asking price for an unpriced item. Bargaining is expected, so the first quote may be far above a reasonable final price.
