Price quote scams in Barbados

Last updated on 30 Apr 2019
, , , ,

How it works:

  • Version 1: advertising a price without specifying currency. When it comes to paying, claim that is in USD and not Bajan dollars.
  • Version 2: shortchanging you and claiming that the price is higher than what was advertised (e.g. your rum is stronger than usual, so you pay more!).

Places to beware:

  • Anywhere (e.g. Bridgetown: Carlisle Bay)

What to do:

  • Always clarify price and currency before paying. If you only have large notes, check that the vendor has change.
