Taxi Scam
Forgive me for posting about something already commonly posted about.
I just fell for a taxi scam, and it's completely ruined my day. I took a bus from Arlanda airport to the Stockholm city centre, then a taxi from the centre to where I'm staying. I should have known better than to get in an unknown taxi, that's on me. I'd asked beforehand what it would cost and was told it was metered, which after reading posts here, I realise is a common scam. After reaching the destination, I was told to pay 1,200 kr for a ride that was about twenty five minutes and not that far (most time spent in traffic). I only noticed the pricing (698 kr every fifteen minutes) after that, the sticker was hard to see and I wasnt looking out for it as it's my first time in Sweden. I said it was too much but he didn't budge and I gave in, paying the amount he'd asked for. I realise in hindsight I should have just given him what would be fair in cash, but what's done is done.
Is there any way I can get my money back, if even partially? The company is called "Kobani Sheran, AB Jordbro," and the driver was "Alaa Eddin Tomy," just to note. I don't see a company number I can call anywhere for a refund, and calling the police seems like much for this.
I'd appreciate any help.
