Tourist in Bali promises to pay Stomper for damaging her scooter in accident, then blocks her number
A Bali woman alleged she rented a scooter to a tourist from England who damaged it in an accident and has not paid for the damage as promised.
Stomper Yu Chan said the man paid 500,000 rupiah ($39) to rent two scooters for himself and a male friend on April 25.
At about 4.30pm, she received a message from the man that they had an accident and were going to the hospital. The scooters were left at a cafe.
"He promised to return and take responsibility, but he blocked my number," said the Stomper, who shared photos of a damaged scooter.
"He didn't pay for breaking my scooter."
In 2022, the Stomper had a similar bad experience with a tourist from Singapore who abandoned a rented motorcycle after getting into an accident with a car.
She told Stomp: "I have two children and we have to eat from the money we earn from this business. Now our bike is broken. If he cannot pay for the repair of the bike, it will make our life harder because we have to borrow money and we have no business until the bike is repaired."
The tourist told Stomp he left 100,000 rupiah (S$9) at a Bali hotel to give to the Stomper before returning to Singapore.
