Editorial notice
Patterns documented from public scam reports and provider feedback. New patterns emerge; report new ones to us via /contact.
- 'Cultural immersion' programs in which volunteers do little measurable work.
- Sahara-trek-plus-volunteering packages where the trek is the real product.
- Carpet-shop / leather-tannery 'tours' included in program excursions (commission-based).
- Hammam and spa add-ons disguised as cultural orientation.
