I am from east europe and i know a lot of people who worked that way in Norway and Sweden, no scam reported, and in better years (10-12 years ago) a summer spent by a couple working that way earned them an apartment. Quite opposite, they were surprised with good living conditions and generous pay. While employment was most probably illegal, they were on 3-month tourist visas.
