According to the tourist, the amount charged was much higher than agreed upon, 1.600 euros for three hamburgers, and this was only noticed because a friend received the notification from the bank immediately after the payment.
"Luckily, my friend received a notification immediately when he made the payment. He received a notification for 1.600 euros. 1.600 euros! As soon as we saw that, we immediately got up and went to confront them. And, well, you saw what happened next."
So, folks, please be careful. If you go to Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro, or I think Copacabana is the same thing, be careful when paying with a credit card. Because they charge you more than you agreed to. It was 1.600 euros instead of 3 euros for three hamburgers.
Guys, please be careful. Be careful here. This is also Rio de Janeiro. This is also Brazil. Be careful, everyone. I don't know if you can see this (showing marks of aggression), but… this is the final result. They tricked me. Luckily, we managed to fight back a few times. It wasn't recorded.
"I only realized afterwards that I wasn't filming. There was a lot of collateral damage. So, again, folks, be careful here. Brazil is fantastic, Rio is fantastic, but this also exists. And it's not in the favela, it's right here in Copacabana, in Ipanema, a tourist area," the tourist reported via his YouTube channel 'Dutch Travel Maniac'.
