Engaging with such illicit services carries significant risks:
No accountability: Unlicensed operators are not regulated and offer no recourse if services are subpar, misleading, or unsafe.
Potential for scams: You risk financial loss and a ruined experience.
Harm to local communities: These operations often bypass local regulations, fail to contribute ethically to the local economy, and may disrespect local culture and environment.
Lack of safety standards: Your safety and well-being cannot be guaranteed by those operating outside the law.
