SCAM in Cebu Tour (For Awareness)
Para po sa mga nagbook ng Van tour with driver in Cebu. Let me share our experience na we were almost SCAMMED but luckily I experienced Cebu tour 4 years ago.
Yes, the Driver almost scammed us. Its not that extreme pero panloloko pa rin yung ginawa nya.
We hired this van + driver for 6days, specifically asked him for us to experience lechon in CARCAR MARKET.
Pero dinala nya kami sa isang restaurant along the highway. I let it go kasi papunta pa lang nam kami sa oslob so sabi ko pagbalik na lang sa Cebu city. Then our Moalboal and Oslob trip were done and there was a changed in driver. So pauwi kami, same pa rin ginawa Nya. Sinabi pa nya na “WALA NA PO ANG CARCAR MARKET. NAGKANYA-KANYA NA PO YUNG MGA NAGTITINDA DOON.”
But it didn’t sit well with me. Dinala nya Kami in this pasalubong shop na may lechon restaurant din. But I asked the cashier staff if totoo bang wala ng carcar market. Lo and behold! It’s still existing! So I confronted the driver of what I learned then firmly told him to drive us to the REAL CARCAR MARKET. So napahiya sya kaya no choice sya kundi dalhin kami dun.
Ang feeling namin is may commission sila for every tourists na nadadala nila dun sa restaurant. But still, its blatantly SCAMMING US.
We were civil and still gave him tip after the service rendered.
So just want to make everyone aware about this scheme para sa future reference nyo.
