10 most extreme tourism scams in history of the world

6. The “Free” Massage

In Columbia, while lying on the beach, you might fall victim to women approaching you claiming to give you a free massage. You accept the supposed act of kindness, but when the woman is done she goes back on her promise of it being free and asks for money. The con artist won’t stop bugging you until you pay her, and there is no walking away from the situation. Remembering that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, or a free massage, is best in this situation. Don’t get tricked into thinking you’re being offered a gift, with the poverty levels so low in Columbia people are not at liberty to do anything for free. Turn down the massage before it begins if you don’t want to pay a crazy amount for a spontaneous and unprofessional massage.
