Yes, this is a well-known scam zone. The drivers parked directly outside the Fort station exits operate as a mafia and refuse the meter to extort tourists with heavy bags. Do not argue with them. Walk 100 meters down the road and flag a passing tuktuk with a red metered sign, or just use the PickMe app.

Never negotiate with them. It just encourages the behavior. Keep walking until you find an honest driver.

I used Uber and the driver had to meet me a block away because the Fort tuktuk drivers harass the rideshare drivers.
