Taxi Scam \u2013<\/strong> I didn\u2019t get scammed by taxis in Singapore, but I want to let you know that the taxi driver did warn me about certain scams. He advised me to never ask a taxi driver for a price quote because that\u2019s a red flag that you are new in town. I made two videos below detailing some of the scams in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Scams and Prostitution in Singapore Part 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/loJ2oiPl7vE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Scams and Prostitution in Singapore Part 2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HdoYCp8mcCc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Be aware that there are certain surcharge fees from major points of interests in Singapore such as the airport, Vivo City Mall, and many taxi ranks in the city.
