My only experience with a so called SCAM was with a cab driver - i have a habit of paying all cab drivers 20 000 rp - regardless of how much is on the meter between Legian and Kuta - one driver (this was in the dark) took my 20 000 rp note with his right hand and quickly dropped it down the side of his drivers seat on his righthand side - and with a 1000 rp note in his left hand stated to me that i only gave him 1000 rp - when i pointed out that i saw what he did and there were 3 others in the cab with me - He couldn't have been more apologetic - Very Sorry with his hands clapsed and bowing - In hindsight i should have demanded my change!!!
I know it wasn't a Blue Bird cab - was a Blue cab though!!!
just be aware of your surroundings and what is going on - i am sure you will know if you are being "HAD".
Enjoy Bali - it's the Best!!! : )
