TL;DR
Watch out for a fake agency called "Vmeste Veselee" (site built on Tilda, no own domain) that asks for excursion payment via personal card transfer and gets abusive if you refuse. Only pay for excursions after the service is provided, not in advance to a personal account.
Scammers operate under multiple different accounts but use the same scheme — the recurring advice is to only pay for excursions after they're delivered, never as prepayment to a personal card.
