Oｈ !　My God Story NO. ４６ 　　　


Taxi Trouble　(part- ２)

When you arrive at JFK airport, you will take a taxi.
In this case, I want to warn you one thing.
There are many cases of fraud in New York.

This is a trick that happens frequently.
If you take a taxi to your destination from the airport,
　　you will put your suitcase in the trunk.

In this case, you shouldn't pay the fare first

when you arrive at your　destination.
You have to get your suitcase first and pay the fare at last.

This theft case really happened to a Japanese woman.
When she arrived at her apartment,
she payed the fare to the driver first.

Then she got off the taxi and tried to get her suitcase in the trunk.
At that moment, the driver started the car and ran away.

Oｈ !　My God.　　　
In New York, you shouldn't pay the fare until you grab your suitcase.
