Scams to watch for in Timor-Leste
- Phone and bag snatching by passing ridersA person on a scooter or motorbike grabs a phone or bag from someone walking along the street. An exposed phone can also be grabbed from someone riding a motorbike, especially in slow traffic.
- Excessive taxi fare demandsA driver demands an excessive fare from a passenger who does not know local prices. Higher evening fares and the higher metered price of Blue Taxi are normal price differences and do not by themselves mean a scam.
- Imitation tais sold among local handicraftsImitation tais are sold among the market's woven cloth and handicrafts. Some come from Indonesia. A buyer seeking locally made Timorese cloth may mistake an imitation for the real item.
