Be very, very careful with who you do business with here.

Thank u for your warning. But we are not blind or stunted. Resit your English and try to learn International business before speaking at random

I wasnt talking to you, I was talking to the OP. I have owned and operated two businesses here, so I do have some idea. So please learn not to assume things before you write.

Ha, ha, I can read your mind. If you are kind enough, plz tell OP how to avoid or minimize the risk by following VN law.. etc..  [Moderated: Inappropriate]

Ok, you seem to think you know what your talking about, but from your replies you know very little. My statement still stands, be careful who the OP gets into bed with . If you want to advise them with your limited knowledge then go ahead, Im sure the OP will regret the move.

Sound advice.  I can speak from first hand experience that I get "ripped off" regularly.  Just a few days ago, I went to buy a bottle of green tea and made the stupid mistake of not asking the price before.   But after I showed him a 10,000 bill, he asked for more...like 12,000.  I didn't feel like arguing with the guy and was thirsty.   But I knew a bottle typically sells for 7,000 or 8,000 a bottle.  Typically people don't mark it up that huge.

I got ripped off right after I landed at the airport in HCMC. My large extended family met us there. A lady next to my mom and dad offered us bottles of cold water. I thought "Hey this is great reception" from a family member I've never met. We quickly drank the water since it was hot and we were thirty. Later, my mom informed me that the lady wanted her money. I said, she's not our relative? My mom said, I don't know who the heck she is. So I paid her for the water. Welcome to Vietnam.

So how much did you pay?  I'll laugh along with you if you answer more than 50 cents (10,000 VND).

Yeah, you can start laughing now. It was $1 a bottle.

And was the cap seal on right or was it super-glued on after they refilled the bottle with tap water?
