If you're walking along at night in Istanbul and a friendly man starts talking to you, watch out. You will end up at bar where after two or three drinks you will be presented with a bill for anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. Your options will then be to withdraw the sum from via an ATM and pay the bill off or be beaten up. The police don't care.

Host Conor Woodman travels to some of the world's most popular cities in an effort to expose the darker side of tourism.
Woodman meets with questionable characters ranging from unethical cab drivers to aggressive pimps as he witnesses and experiences the travel experience of parting with personal property and money. He intentionally falls victim to these alleged scammers and says "yes" to every sex worker and pocket jeweler in the city.
The show aims to expose the local adaptations of common scams - from pick pockets, expensive cab fares, to bars luring people in with adult entertainment at a high cost.
