Question 1

What is the "Market and Restaurant Overcharging" scam in Tashkent?

Accepted Answer

Vendors at Chorsu Bazaar and restaurants near tourist sites charge tourists 2–3x the normal price and swap menus between ordering and billing. Bargain firmly and always check the final bill. Watch for menu substitution between when you order and when you pay.

Question 2

What is the "Bar Trap Scam" scam in Tashkent?

Accepted Answer

Friendly locals invite tourists to bars where they are partners, then present bills of $50–$200 for a few drinks. Security prevents departure without payment. Choose your own venues based on reviews. Never let a new acquaintance choose the bar for you.
