Price quote scams in Mauritius

Last updated on 30 Apr 2019
,

How it works:

  • Version 1: quoting a low initial price for a service (e.g. henna tattoo) but charging an inflated price later.
  • Version 2: quoting you inflated prices for items with no price tags.

Places to beware:

  • Pamplemousses: Grand Baie Bazaar
  • Port Louis: Central Market

What to do:

  • Find out a fair price by going different shops or check with your hotel/hostel/driver, then bargain hard.
  • Else, check out fixed price shops – e.g. supermarkets, malls, Le Caudan Waterfront, etc.
