My own recollection: Offered a free tuk tuk ride to a major mall. We were dropped off across the street at a gem shop and had to endure a sales pitch.
The following day another offer for a free ride, same place. Upon arrival this time we departed the tuk tuk and crossed the street to the mall. The driver stood there somewhat dumbfounded. That was some twenty years ago.
Unless you know something of gemstones, don't buy from discount sellers
