Scams to watch for in Senegal
- Inflated taxi faresDrivers may quote visitors a much higher fare than locals pay. You must bargain and agree on the fare before the ride.
- The missing-change trickA seller or driver claims to have no change and may keep the extra cash. A Dakar taxi driver may do this even after promising to provide change. Some people genuinely cannot change large notes.
- Fake hotel worker asking for fuel moneySomeone claims to work at your hotel and says they have run out of fuel. They ask to borrow money, using the supposed hotel connection to gain your trust.
