That's unfortunate to hear.
I've been ripped off by 'unofficial' taxi's in EE a couple of times.. I'm more aware and vigilant now and usually if I can, avoid using taxi's all together.
I was once dropped off in the middle of Serbia in December by a taxi driver because it was the end of his 'region' (I got it from the border of Romania because I had just missed the last train to Belgrade) and that worried me a bit because it was 10pm in the middle of winter but thankfully I was able to find a bus.
