another taxi. Also sometaxi drivers arestolen

recommend that you takeour service.
The normal scam is theyoffer to help you,asking

calling the hostel andgive you the phone. So
when you asked about thetransportation or the
reservation you have theysay that didn`t

is no. At that time whenyou make the angryface
of deception, the persondoing the scam says to
