I would like to inform you about what happened to me yesterday the 20th of May at around 9:15 pm when I got scammed by the driver of the taxi company "Saigon Air Taxi"! I arrived at the airport after flying over from Kuala Lumpur with AirAsia! I saw a girl who was about to take the taxi so we agreed to share the costs for it since she was going to the same district as me! The driver didn't wanna accept that and after an argument I agreed to pay him 170,000 Vietnamese Dong in addition to the 200,000 Dong that the girl had already paid! Then I gave him 200.000 Dong and he took it! He showed the money to his "boss" as if he wanted to ask "shell I take it?"! His boss, the guy who stands outside organizing the transport, told him to take it so the driver put it into his pocket and left! Suddenly the driver didn't speak any English anymore but before that we had spoken English and he had spoken very well! So I couldn't make him give me my 30,000 Dong back and suddenly, after having dropped the other girl, he just stopped, left the car and asked me aggressively to leave the car! Figuring that we are "just" taking about 30,000 Dong I decided to let it go, took my backpack and left! When I arrived in the hostel I checked my money and I realized that I had given the taxi driver 200 Malaysian Ringgit instead of 200,000 Vietnamese Dong!! 200,000 Vietnamese Dong are around 9,5 USD, 200 Malaysian Ringgit are around 54,5 USD! So I had paid around 45 USD too much and the driver knew that! Me, the staff from my hostel "Long Hostel" and another guest who speaks Vietnamese and English called the company several times yesterday and today! The girl on the phone talked to the driver, since I had written down the taxi-number (1018) and the driver offered me to pay 200,000 Dong back but not my 200 Ringgit! So he admitted indirectly that he had noticed my mistake which was very obvious to me since he had asked his boss if he could take the money! I didn't accept that because I really need that 200 Ringgit back to pay for the rest of my holiday here in Vietnam! We told them that we were expecting them to bring the money back but now they don't even pick up the phone anymore! They wanted to call us back before noon today which hasn't happened! The people from this Hostel told me about you and that I should rather contact you than go to the police!My name is Marc Voigt, I'm 28 years old and I'm from Germany! I'm on vacation here in Vietnam!The taxi-number was 1018 (Saigon Air Taxi), the scam happened the 20th of May 2015 at around 9:15 - 9:35 pm on the way from the Airport Ho Chi Minh City to my Hostel, Long Hostel 373 Pham Ngu Lao, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City! I hope you can help me!Thank you very much, sincerely yours,Marc Voigt
