Watch out for The Bar Bill Padding Scam!
Our operative in Angeles Philippines has identified some bill padding scams in Fields Avenue. A Swedish gentleman customer was beaten up by staff at a well known bar after he disputed the bar bill.
Photographs showed a badly beaten Swedish gentleman who’d been assaulted by bouncer's for refusing to pay his bill. friends of the Swedish guy said that he visited the club accompanied by a girl who was not employed by the bar. His drinks bill was given to him when he went to leave, and he was charged for lady drinks for her, even though she did not work there.
He refused to pay for the more expensive lady drinks, and insisted on the drink price for an ordinary customer. An argument developed and he was allegedly attacked by two of the bar bouncers as well as the mamasan He was taken to a local hospital, badly injured.
This is not the first time that alleged bill padding has happened at this particular bar. It is recommended that bar bills are checked regularly through the evening, if necessary after every purchase to ensure the bill is not padded. One customer speculated that these scams maybe run by the mamasan and bouncers and management may not be aware.
Always check bills and if necessary pay as you go rather than run up a tab, leave early if you think you are being scammed, go to another bar, there are plenty of them in Angeles City.
