I thought I'd let people know that if you are traveling with anyone vulnerable to Nassau then watch for the scammers at the "skincare" companies giving "free" samples. I don't know if I can say the name on here.
My husband and I took a tour while my older in-laws (late 80's) walked around Nassau. My mother-in-law was talked into getting a "free facial." She is too nice and doesn't know how to stand up for herself. They also got my father-in-law into getting his "free" facial. Well, long story short, they talked my mother-in-law into signing up for skincare that they told her was 75. She thought $75 dollars. They got back to the ship and the credit card company contacted them and told my father-in-law that there was a suspicious charge for $7,500. He disputed it and found out that while they were giving him his facial that they had gotten his wife to sign a paper saying she wanted this face cream. We were hours away from sail away so he returned the cream and all the "free samples." They took the stuff back. Well, he gets back to his home and they keep mailing them skincare, which he promptly sends back. They charged his credit card again. His credit card company says they have to pay because the company has a "no returns" policy.
This has been a big headache. I didn't want anyone else going through this. I feel guilty because we should've been keeping an eye on them the whole time. These people pray on the elderly and this is a lot of money!
