Unofficial 'Helpers' and Porters: At Ethiopian airports, particularly Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, unauthorized individuals may approach you offering to help with luggage or navigation, then demand excessive payment. Only use official airport porters with visible identification badges, or politely decline assistance if you don't need it.

Taxi Overcharging: Unlicensed taxi drivers at airport arrivals may quote inflated fares or claim the meter is broken. To avoid this, use official airport taxi services, pre-book transportation through your hotel, or use the ride-booking widgets available on transportation websites to compare current legitimate options before arrival.

Currency Exchange Scams: Unofficial money changers may approach travelers offering 'better rates' but provide counterfeit bills or use sleight of hand to shortchange you. Always use official bank counters or ATMs inside the airport terminal, and avoid exchanging money with individuals in arrival areas or parking lots.
