Re: Intoxica bar street 130
Something to remember is that anyone who decides to mock you for being naive, getting scammed, not knowing better etc was also once a first time visitor to Asia and has almost certainly been a victim of some trickery themselves at least once, possibly without even realising and learning from it. As you say, not everyone knows all the scams.Rico valentino wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 12:54 pm There’s some real comedians replying to my thread!
Not everyone knows the scams I’m a tourist here.
And I put at the end we live and we learn!
For the person that said about no shame being in a girly bar
I’m single man mate! of course I have no shame
So you’ve never been in a girly bar!
I posted this to help others that may be more unfortunate than me!
Luckily $100 dollars is nothing for me but I’m sure no one likes to be scammed even if it was $5
I thought this site was about putting in things about Cambodia!
Kudos to you for spreading the word and making more people aware and I personally like the name and shame aspect. This is the age of google, if a business fucks you over and you want to get back at them a negative review on every relevant website you can think of is a great way to do it. It probably doesn't make a lot of difference to a hooker bar but I've seen managers/owners of dodgy restaurants, hotels, and English schools lose their shit when the person they ripped off forwarded them the links to all the bad reviews and they realise that's what comes up when someone googles their business name.

Be willing to bet every single poster here has been in a hostess bar and a large majority, at one time or another, took company home
also be willing to bet many here has been had in some scam over the years
Learn from it and you will be fine

That sounds very likely that it was the bar and not the money changer.Rico valentino wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 12:54 pm There’s some real comedians replying to my thread!

Even the last three digits thing doesn't sound reliable enough- I'd take a picture of the USD note in front of the waitress.
What a crappy place and thanks for sharing the experience.
Re: Intoxica bar street 130
Why not just walk the 20 feet inside the bar and hand the $100 bill to the cashier herself?daeum_tnaot wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 8:39 pmThat sounds very likely that it was the bar and not the money changer.Rico valentino wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 12:54 pm There’s some real comedians replying to my thread!

Re: Intoxica bar street 130
Easy to say that now,
Remember I’m a tourist here,
I don’t know the scams here,
I’ve travelled to a lot of places and let’s say dodgy places
Rio Brazil,medellin colombia, and this has never happened to me before with fake notes.
Like I said before we live and learn

Re: Intoxica bar street 130
Looking at it from a visitor's perspective you don't might not expect it you could easily get this scam pulled on you. In good faith you give a $100 bill to a waitress, and possibly aren't all that used to using US$ anyway. You quite likely have never even heard of ghost money either. So it's fair enough for this fellow to be a bit pissed off.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Totally agree...."you don't might not expect it you could easily get this scam...."

I edited that before I posted and messed it up. Big deal. I'm not British either way you burned-out tweaker.
