- smileysteve 6y ago> if they try it now call them out This is a fun way to make tourists feel insecure. Call them out, where you wait on a foreign police, prove your identity, file a report -- in a non native accent / language -- in the best case... or in the worst case, where they'll take you where you don't want to go (or other cabs to pickup), potentially drive off in a dangerous way as you forcibly exit the vehicle, and blacklist you from other cars -- all while you're hoping to make it to a hotel, airport, tour safely and on time.
- JAlexoid 6y agoYep. Most people forget that. Tourist places are a literal gold mine for fraudsters and other kinds of bad people.
- unicornfinder 6y agoIndeed and I don't know if it's just me but I genuinely feel like London has gotten a lot worse for fraudsters in recent years...
- JAlexoid 6y agoCooonsiderably.
- renewiltord 6y agoI don’t want to call them out. I want to never have to call them out. With Uber I don’t have to so I’ll take that.
