Dominican illegal immigrants are often swindled out of money for a fake trip to puerto rico when in reality, they take a 2 day ride in the ocean and then dropped off in the coast of domincian republic at night. The poor fools think they have reached puerto rico, only to discover in disappointment that have reached no where near as they were promised. Then you have illegal immigrant smugglers who take you to PR in boats only to be handed over to coast guards. there has been rumors that coastguards (US) are in the game with the smugglers.
People who are returned back often find themselves in huge debts on loans they had taken out to pay for the trip in yolas.
Now this types of scams are not only limited to DR. Look what happens to people in India who buy visas to work in Dubai.
