Thread: Looks Like The Jet Ski Racket Has Caught on Here

From a Dubai forum:

Today we hired 2 jet ski's for an hour from ***** Jetski rental LLC up near Mina port. Having heard what most companies try to sting you for we took photos of all angles of the 2 jet skis. When we returned from the hour trip they tried to blame us for damage to the 2 jet ski's which were in bad condition as it was. One scratch this guy tried to blame us for for was on one of our photos we took and showed him, the other damage was to the other jet ski which the previous damage had been ringed in blue pen.We have a photo of what he accused us of damaging which had already been repaired, the photo clearly shows fibreglass filling. Obviously they had charged the other people whose damaged had been ringed in blue pen but not bothered to fix it. I have all the photos to prove we did not do any damage and yet he insisted we paid 1500 dirhams for the damage. I did want to phone the police bit was told that if I did our passports would have been taken off us til the court case, what to do when we fly to the UK to get my son to the UK. I know I am not alone in this case. People need to be told or maybe open this up for discussion.

anyone who hires a jetski should be ripped off, simple

My feelings too. I've always hated them, ever since they first came out. I did find it interesting that this happened here, and even more interesting that the poster thought to take photos. They must be familiar with the scam.

My mate calls them Homo Chariots. Quite apt I think.

I've always called BMW's gaymobiles, but I like that for teh jet skis too.

dangerous (to others), nasty and noisy
