Accepted Answer

Official digital meters installed in Colombo tuk tuks are generally highly reliable and strictly regulated by the government, so tampering is actually quite rare.

The much more common scam is a driver simply refusing to turn the meter on at all, claiming it is broken, and demanding a massively inflated flat fare. Always insist they switch it on before you sit down.
