Oddly enough, there's not much mention about this kind of thing
here.
Or does it go by another name.

I suspect it's never mentioned here because most people who post here
are independant travellers who don't go on "beach" holidays or to
typical package holiday destinations where these scum operate.

Never bumped into them myself, certainly. Maybe I just look as if I'm
skint?

Nah, that aint it; I've been doing some research into the scams prime
target selection and I since found one site claiming to reveal all.
It's not that they're looking out for package holiday destination
tourists, nor childless couples, or "newbie" tourists.
No, what they pick out are people who look like they are having fun
and clearly enjoying their holiday.

*gullible ?!

In Lanzarote they were indiscriminate. We had flu, hated the place and
even tried to go home a week early and they still accosted us.

ROLF!
