Bali Scams what the brochures dont say

With the return of the tourists, opportunistic scammers have also returned to Bali. Whilst scams and petty crimes are found throughout the world, Bali has a few old favorites that newcomers should be aware of.

I went to Bali 5 years ago with my daughter. We bought heaps of stuff from street vendors. We got told to fuck off by vendor's if we didn’t buy from them, even though we showed them what we had bought from other vendors selling the same thing. They are NOT your friends 😂 they are after your $$$

[@sabinegroe2006]

ONCE upon a time, Bali was a paradise. That was in the 80‘ties

[@elsienorback7689]

I had been to Western Union in Kuta, receiving $1,500 USD and received it in IRD and the person giving the money shorted me 900,000 IRD. I went back the following day and complained to the manager, he watched the video and called the person into the office and confronted him about ripping me off by 900,000 IRD. He told the manager that he knew he shorted me and tried to call my cell number but that was a lie because the phone never rang. My guess is that he lost his job after that, with good reason.

Sorry mate, you got scammed a 2nd time. The 2nd scam was the boss pretending the worker did something wrong.

[@jeanmansfield9230]

I find they ask alot of tourists if they have been to Bali before. As soon as a tourist says no. They swoop so they can overcharge. So if its your first time say you have been twice before. They then don't swoop. It silences them. Tell your friends.

[@Claire-77]

Thanks, I'm going for the first time, that's a good tip.

[@datamemory]

Walking down the street in Kuta the first morning, looking for a massage as the flight took about 24 hours from door to door. Thought i was doing right by getting a salon that is on the mainstreet with a reasonable price. 60.000 irp for an hour. Once on the massagetable i felt one pair of hands, two pair of hands, three pair of hands. Turned around and sent two out of the room in the nicest way possible. They asked 60.000 irp each. After less then 15 minutes the leftover masseuse stopped and said that’s it. I laughed politely paid exactly the 60.000 irp which i would have at least doubled with a tip as the prices are extremely cheap to what we are used to. When walking off i made sure that she and her co workers saw me walking into Carla’s Spa (Which Murray recommended all along) and spend at least 3 hours there. After that made sure to kindly great the ladies of the scamming salon every day for 10 days straight while disappearing into Carla’s Spa for hours on end.

We liked Carla Spa in Seminyak near the square. There is a lane next door with a money changer. I was lazy one day and changed some Australian money there, he tried to short change me but my wife grabbed our Australian notes off him real quick and walked off.

[@garrykessell1588]

Hi Muzza , a couple of old scams , I don't know if this scam is still going, it involves the restaurants on the beach at Jimberan Bay , with the scales they weigh the seafood on as you pay by weigh, I put a litre bottle of water on the scales which weighs 1 Kilo, however the scales showed 2.5Kgs , i'm not saying that all the restaurants did this, but a number probably did, as every one I tested did. The other scam years ago was the involved the Australian 1 Dollar Coin , the sellers in the market would ask if you had any coins as they turn the into bracelets, which they have on display for sale, most Australians just give them the coin, however the bracelets and not made from Australian Dollar coins , but are made of brass, the cooler coins then went to the porters at the airport who would ask Australian tourists when they are leaving Bali to change 10 dollar coins into a $10 Australian Notes.

[@ZAN-THE-GOAT]

Those who want the cheapest shopping of most things you see in the street go to KRISNA OLEH on Sunset Road- only a 10 min bluebird taxi ride from Kuta or Legian. Best to ask taxi to wait as it is only $4 an hour for them to wait & it saves you being harassed by the other ones as you come out. Everything is fixed price & less than half price you find on the street. Sarongs are only $3Aussie and kids clothing you will need another suite case they are that cheap and good. They have all the knick- naks

Also if you are there for the first time be careful as the money comes out of the atm before your card.

But if you use an atm attached to a bank and go in they will open the machine and give you it back!

[@richardewels6280]

Classic money change scam is to give you an enormous stack of small denomination bills assuming most people aren't tight arsed enough to count them. I was over there with a pommy mate, big guy, who had to get the best deal (read dodgiest exchange) and was tight enough to spend half an hour counting. We gradually assembled a group of nervous onlookers and before he finish counting the guy in the booth called us back and told us the deal was of. Gave my mate his money and insisted he count it before leaving (funnily enough, didn't bother counting the notes we returned to him). All a bit weird. We went round the corner found a bar and decided to have beer. It wasn't till i sat on the bar stool and felt i big lump in my back pocket we remembered half way through counting my mate had given me half the money they gave us because it was getting to much for him to handle with out dropping it or losing count. I stuffed in my back pocket assuming there would be no problem and this was just a tedious waste of time. I remember the beer tasted especially good after that.

Really spot on video and perfect for first time Bali travellers. I went there for almost 2 weeks and just got home a few days ago. I can say i did not enjoy it there. The store people were so rude and scammy. Are you really going to try charge me $35 for this piece of wire ring? It was made of foil and cheaper than jewellery at a dollar store. Not only did he lean in and whisper it creepily in my ear so my partner wouldn't hear the price, he did it a few times as i looked at the rings and decided this junk wasn't even worth a dollar. Kept hassling me to offer a price. How do i even offer something i think it worth less than a dollar when you started at $35? I hope they actually start to struggle and realise they cannot scam people like that. These were young guys with shitty rude attitudes. I had one who remembered us when he tried rip us off on a bag. He wouldn't accept lower that his asking price and actually shooed us away when i said i won't pay more than x amount. Because we were in the same area for a week and walked down the same strip, when he saw us walk pass he said bag final price 30k... i was not even going in to look at it and he remembered us and continued to be rude as we passed by. He was actually sitting on a scooter in front of the store so i didn't see him. I was hoping to go in and maybe a different sales person would be in there and much more polite. But anyways, i walked down the street and ended up buying myself a quality handmade leather bag at a proper store for the same price he was asking for a cheap piece of plastic junk. Then i went back home to Australia and got myself a cute backpack for $18 that's not faking to be some mediocre brand. I disliked all the fake items and how they seem to think a designer name on a cheap piece of junk means it's somehow worth half the price of the real item. By the end of my time there, when i went into stores and i got approached with the same shit 'i give u best price', 'what price u want' etc etc i just ignored them and walked out. Better cheaper shopping at home! The boutique stores have really pretty things but the cost is the same as at home. Save your money and bag luggage.

[@aquasol333]

I'm here now and I make jewelry, so have a good idea of what's real. I've been paying 200K to 280K IDR for silver rings with real gemstones. The gold plated ones are 300K. That's reasonable compared to what you get in USD. Also, saw real tahitian pearls and gold necklaces for about $600 USD.

[@squishiette]

@@aquasol333 Yes i got myself some beautiful jewellery at a boutique store. The prices i found were reasonable. Same as what i would pay here in Australia. The quality was worth the price tag, no need to haggle and the shopping experience was way better than the little shops. Some things were a little over priced still as we have so much available here at all price ranges and quality due to globalization but it was worth buying as a memory of the trip. I was disappointed that i couldn't find as much as i thought i would. Things that cost the same as buying at home i passed on as i wouldn't buy unnecessary items at home to begin with.

There's a saying in indonesia that goes something like this..there's no shortage of smart people in indonesia but there is a huge shortage of honest people in Indonesia even the indonesians admit this is true. so just be careful when you are in bali. little bit here and there really adds up. I've seen a british guy selling his suntan lotion in poppy because he's broke..maybe from being milked by the locals. ? 🤔 now..who wants some pisswarm beer? my cooler broke down. hey it's 5 clock somewhere, right ? 😀 cheers

might be good advice for first timers I guess,but I think that would put people off going to Bali.But a useful video,do more.
