The trick to a conflict-free and trick-free taxi ride is to avoid the taxi queue at arrivals, and go up to the rank in front of the departure area (head right as you come out of the airside bit, then it's an easy trip up an escalator).
I wish I had known this. I was scammed somewhat on the way from airport to hotel, but the trip from hotel to airport was uneventful.
For anyone who has never visited Lisbon, the airport really is amazingly close to the city.
