Money & ATM Scams in Jaipur

Currency Exchange and ATM Short-Change

Unofficial money changers operating near Johari Bazaar and MI Road offer exchange rates slightly better than official bureaux, but count out notes quickly and fold bills together so the total handed over is short by 10–20%. A related scam involves ATM "helpers" near Badi Chaupar who distract tourists during a transaction, then swap some of the dispensed notes for lower-denomination bills or take bills while feigning to help with the machine.
