Money exchange
Running short on HK$ so decided to change some Au at the money exchange nest to New Lucky House in Jordan. Quick look at the rate. only .1 less than I get in TST so I hand over $1000u. he woman comes back with a printout saying I get 4400 hk$ instead of the posted rate of 5.8 which would give me $5800.
I pointed at the rate and said no.look.
The woman then points out that the rate is for AU exchanged with the Kroner ffs>
On looking at the other rates they are all compared against different currencies in a way to make one believe that the rate to HK is vry good.
Anyway I said no, give me the money back, I will go elsewhere.
She tells me she is not giving me the money back and then offers me 4600.
I said no and she says that all she will do and she will not give my money back. I asked her if she understood good english. She nodded and I told her that if she doesnt hand the money over now that I will come in and get it after calling the police. I got my phone out f my pocket and the money was pushed back through the slot in the window.
Beware of this half of a scam. | |
