I'm hoping there is some sort of admin but for the real world, does anyone know who this might be? Please PM if it's you

I for sure hope you paid in Riels, and not in USD. Otherwise, on top of this scam, the driver could also make 0.5% on the exchange rate.

Be careful out there people!!!!!

An inexperienced traveler arrives in a town. He gets a tuk tuk to a guest house. He tells the tuk tuk driver he needs change for $100. The tuk tuk driver offers to get change for him. When he comes back he says he was unable to get change, and returns $100. Some time later he realizes that it is one of those fake $100 bills they use for funerals. He is new to town and cant even identify the tuk tuk driver.

Have you actually experienced any of these, or is this just another episode of Tales from the Coffee Shop/Bar Stool (delete as appropriate)?

In all fairness, this exact thing happened to a guest staying me us last year. The only difference was, he could identify the tukkie. We went up and spoke to him and of course he denied it. With no proof, there was obviously nothing we could do.
It does beg the question " who would be stupid enough to give an unknown tuk tuk driver $100 and happily watch him drive off into the distance"?

awww, come on, this happens to tourists everywhere, its NOT Cambodian specific
The scams in Europe and New York are run everyday on someone

He gets a tuk tuk to a guest house. He tells the tuk tuk driver he needs change for $100. The tuk tuk driver offers to get change for him. When he comes back he says he was unable to get change, and returns $100.

1. what fool would let a tuk tuk driver out of his site with his $100 bill
2. some clueless Barang got a Chinese burn $100 bill an didn't notice the dif.?

Also, that guy is English in a “comedy” about the war. I viewed it shortly and whilst I found the parody of Germans satisfying I didn’t find the joke about the French very funny.
They don’t even sound French when speaking English.

It’s true the French helped out the war fight and saved many “good guys”.

Looks like my image didn't show and I can't edit, so here's a repeat.
