| Fake Dollar Rate Card Use by NAIA Taxi drivers |
This has been an ongoing scam outside the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) were Taxi drivers are showing fake dollar rate cards to dupe foreign passengers and tourists.
According to reports taxi drivers would show foreigners the fare cards, where destinations are listed with corresponding dollar rates. The lowest rate shown on the card is $25 or Php1,175.
It said the rate cards are laminated and have the logos of the Department of Tourism and Philippine Airlines.
The slogan "Bayan Ko, Sagot Ko" is also written on the cards, the report added.
The Airport Transport Concessionaires Association Inc. denied that it has authorized the use of the dollar rate cards.
Even local residents have been scammed by taxi drivers at NAIA. A TV report cited the case of a woman named Julie who was charged P800 for a trip from NAIA to a bus terminal in Cubao.
