that, after the 2nd BB taxi drove past quivering with fear (and I honestly think they were too intimidated to stop) I decided I would call for one, I have terrible eyesight and missed the # on the back of the BB that went past us, that is when the 'helpful' guy gave me the # which I attempted to call... This is why I was duped into believing him when he offered the 50000Rp fare, I thought he was a genuinely nice person. As it turns out the # he gave me to call was not the # on the back of the taxi and he himself was a taxi driver. I am not a stupid person but I decided to trust this person was genuine. My mistake, but I won't hold it against every other person in Bali... BTW I ask EVERY driver where they are from Taxi Bemo or otherwise out of habit cos it interests me, I also ask about their children and families rather than sit there and be rude, most that I encounter are happy to chat about different things... This guy was from Flores.
