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?

They're looking for "couples", and although you may travel as a couple
I guess you might not be obviously identifiable as such ;-)

They look for gullible suckers.

Nah, that doesn't quite work either because they clearly avoid locals
and there's bound to be a few gullible suckers in every community and
not necessarily ones that are part of a couple.
If you turn over stones in search of slugs, it's not the stones you're
looking for.
So if you turn over gullible suckers, it's their money you're after,
so here "couples" represent location, "gullible suckers" are stones
and their money is what you're looking for.

I have a bridge for sale at a very reasonable price!
