One star is too high. Absolutely disgusting that they are able to charge an extra 19% fee on top of the fixed fee and horrible exchange rates (I.e. market rate is 1.16 EUR:USD, but they are charging 1.23). They do not tell you about the extra costs, so there's no way to know until after you have signed the sheet. The definition of a scammer. Hope karma gives this business what it deserves. read more

I'm an idiot and didn't look at the reviews first. As everyone has said, absolutely a scam. Not only is the rate terrible, but also charged a 20% fee without disclosing that info. $100 USD turned into 60 euros, money straight vanished. This place should be shut down. I'm begging all of you, please go to an ATM and save your money, you'll have less fees there. read more

The most expensive commission for 19% every dollars they don't tell you that and once you've signed the paper before you find out, you can't change your mind to do your money back. This guy is a total liar and. Thief. read more

1 star is too nice! Total rip off. Trust the reviews. You're better off going to an ATM and dealing with your banks transaction fees. $500US for 323 euro read more

It's not that easy to rip me off, but these people succeeded. I carefully asked him what the deal is, and I listened carefully. When I realized how much I overpaid, before leaving, I told him to reverse the transaction. I'm not surprised he was unwilling. I told him that he should not deceive customers, and I know that fell on deaf ears, but I needed to say it for myself. read more

Xchangesacchetti - Fraud place! They will Ron you an extra 20%!!!! - Currency Exchange Near Me - Rome, RM

if I could give them a BIG FAT Zero I would. We were ripped off, i asked exactly what the fees are and she said 5.90 I concluded to ask if there were any other fees, she proceeded to speak fast to avoid specific details. our mistake was trusting this lying, sleazy person. she talked me into giving her $300 Dollars and then proceeded to return $183 in Euros. We said WTF and called the POLIZIA. They weren't able to help, but Im posting this to STOP someone else from getting scammed. DO NOT GO TO THE YELLOW Xchange places. read more

Do not EVER use this company. They are thieves who make thieves look honest. I just got charged 37% to exchange money. I am a seasoned traveler, and should have known something was up, but I was in a hurry and didn't realize it until I got back to the hotel. I went back and they refused to reverse the transaction. I used the location in Vatican City, Rome. They aren't just predatory, they are criminal!! read more

AVOID. Is this a common Money Scam? Not pickpockets you are warned about, but these are by deception. This money changer hands over your bought money with the exchange receipt. This is the only point you realise this business charged EXTRA 19.90% and a 10 euro fee even if you asked beforehand the final price before handing over your money you wish to sell and there is an agreement. They will then refuse to cancel the transaction and police said they can do nothing. If this happens to you, spend less money on their economy. This will share the hurt. then the laws will change to revoke the money change license. read more

This place is a scam. They did not clearly tell you 19.9% commission on top off 9.9 euros service charge. I exchanged 120 US dollars at the rate $1.199 for 1 Euro. I suppose to get 100 Euros and they charge me 29.82 euros. They do not allow me to back out the transaction, because the transaction was made. What a scam! for basically 30% cost for a exchange. read more

Make sure to ask the person the exact amount you will get back before you hand them your money....or sign anything. They take 20% and tell you to exchange more saying it's a better deal. read more

The worst exchange rate yet in Europe!!!! We asked the rate for $100 USA dollars and he said usually it's 68 euros but for us 70 euros LMFAO....a joke read more

Scammers! Exactly the same history told by the others reviewers and as I can see now they're doing it for years without any penalty. When you realized you're robbed the money is gone and they say it's your fault since the info was posted in mini invisible letters under the prices sign. And of course they won't let you cancel the transaction. read more

The exchange rate was 1.14 usd per euro. The got 100 euros and they changed us $142.43 usd. Really bad exchange.

Is a Scam, they abuse tourists with exchange rates, never tell you about any commisions or percentage fee of 20% !!! When you want to void it they show you a small piece of paper with little letters! Cashier super rude screamed at us that tourists should respect Italy and pay for it read more

Scammers, one friend was scammed by these thieves, even though he tried to talk for a better price, they stole him around 100 eur. they don't tell you anything about commissions , in fact they are not ashamed to rob you to your own face. read more

I would give a zero star if there is a zero-star rating. This one is the classic bait-and-switch. They lured you with a reasonable exchange rate, but scammed you with a hefty 20% commission. I did ask the cashier if there was a transaction fee, but he did not answer. Clearly, he has been very good in scamming people. read more

Scammers! They tell you one rate, but after you give them the money you learn that the rate they just told you is not real because they add huge fees that in my case took EUR USD rate from 1.16 to 1.50, and of course they won't reverse the "deal". Big rip-off. It's not just that they offer a bad rate, they lie about it and steal your money. Stay away! read more

DO NOT EXCHANGE YOUR MONEY HERE !!!! This place secretly steals your money!!!! They don't tell you anything about commission/fee, so you think you are only going to be charged a small amount, like few eur, but it's not the case. This place is charging 19.80% fee/commission (based on the amount you are exchanging- that's a lot of money! ) + 3 eur fixed fee on top of that. Also, once you get your receipt and realize what just happened, you cannot get your money back. I feel like I got robbed in the middle of the day! read more

We thought it was a better rate than we would receive through a bank. They told us exchange rate would be that which our bank offered. We received 500 Euros and paid $678. Didn't see this exact figure until home and checked my credit card bill. Paid about $100 over the REAL exchange rate. Don't use them. Go to a bank, or use your ATM. read more
