Getting samples - and scammed

Article Abstract:

Oceanographers of California Institute of Technology were caught in trouble when they went to Malaysia to collect drip water, bedrock and stalagmites samples from the caves. They had hired a local to handle logistics and other formalities for $6000 but after samples were collected from the caves, the contractor gave them a bill for $16000 and refused to ship the samples to the U.S.
