Scams to watch for in Niger
- Repeated requests for gifts or moneyPeople repeatedly ask visitors for a 'cadeau', meaning a gift. Begging or selling something is not itself fraud, but repeated requests can put pressure on you to hand over money.
- Fake acquaintance with an accident storySomeone approaches as though they know you. They say their car or motorcycle was in an accident and ask for money to repair it. The story may vary.
- Taxi overcharging and unwanted private ridesA driver asks for more than the usual shared fare or treats the trip as a private ride. Taxis waiting outside hotels may seek passengers willing to pay more. Some higher fares are legitimate, including longer trips, airport trips and rides after midnight.
