... suddenly becoming very ill which required calling a "doctor", the girl miraculously "recovered" after being tended to and the "doctor" left followed shortly after by the girl.
My mate thought nothing more of it and went to sleep. The following day he received a phone call from someone claiming to be from a hospital saying that he owed them many hundreds of dollars US for the treatment of the girl. He had by then realized that this was some sort of scam and told them where to go. Later that day he was visited at his hotel by police to "collect" his payment for the doctors bill under threat of jail and passport seizure. He was able to negotiate the "bill" down to a couple of hundred AU$. Naturally he was not able to find the girl again.
