[quote=CANADAGUY,254605]What am I going to do at this point? I'm a foreigner right? I told him I only have U.S. dollars. He said that's OK, he could exchange them to RMB. I only had $100 U.S. bills on me. I gave him $100 and he gave me back change in RMB. The exchange rate at the time was around $100 U.S. = 750 RMB. He gave me back around 470 RMB. (750 - 280). So now I'm sitting there thinking in the dark, OK where's our next stop? What's he going to pull next? Are we going to get to the hotel or does he have something else in mind? Are these 470 RMB fake or the real thing (I'd never seen this currency before in my life)? We did finally make it to the hotel. The whole way he never spoke a word to me. Out comes my luggage from the trunk and away he drives into the night. In retrospect I was awfully silly in taking that ‘taxi’. I was lucky I just suffered a monetary loss. It could have been much worse! [/quote]
