The author of the document, who is experienced in the industry, was scammed by a digital marketing company that claimed to offer sales leads for hair-loss related services. The author also discussed the case of a man who was scammed by a Turkish hair transplant clinic. The clinic offered a full-head hair transplant for £2,400, which included 4000 hair grafts, air fare, hotel costs, and airport transfers. However, the clinic used low-density 2 hair grafts and over-harvested the patient's donor site, resulting in an unsatisfactory result and permanent scarring. The author noted that the clinic used non-medical trainees instead of qualified nurses to perform the procedure. The author also mentioned that such clinics hire SEO experts to hide negative publicity and complaints. The author concluded that the responses from the top have come too late to save many victims of such scams.
