Unfortunately in VN there is the odd soul who likes to supplement their income, whether this was the case or not I am unsure, but I definitely would have stood my ground more and asked for a supervisor and evidence of the extra number.
we got scammed too, they ‘claim’ we didn’t put our daughters middle name in but we did. They send back your visa knowingly you will get rejected at the passport control. They threaten my 2 daughters deportation if I did not pay cash of $600 Australian with no receipt, no paper work.
while there for hours we see at least another 20-35 people mainly Australians and Kiwis with the same issue, a missing name, a letter missing or a digit . . a complete scam. A Australia couple we spoke to had to pay $1000 cash, a NZ guy paid $200 cash, everyone’s different amounts we noticed. Full on scam getting into Vietnam !
