In Spain's Blanca region, a 50-year-old man gained notoriety for dining at upscale restaurants and then pretending to have a heart attack to evade paying his bill. According to Daily Loud, this con artist scammed over 20 restaurants.
His scam was exposed when he attempted the trick at a hotel restaurant, where the bill amounted to $37. When staff confronted him, he pretended to faint and collapsed on the floor, performing a theatrical heart attack.
