It's very interesting, I have been feeling this in Dominican Republic, where people are screwing tourists whenever they can, but Sweden is one of the most advanced countries in the world, where I imagine that this isn't that usual behaviour from most people.

Where I stayed there were a lot of poorer people by Sweden standards. This was in Skåne, which is an area well known in Sweden for being a location where a lot of poorer immigrants reside (mostly in Malmö, where I lived). So it actually might be a better parallel to the DR than you would first imagine.
I haven’t been to the DR personally, but am well acquainted with Central America in general, having been to several countries. So I would say that this kind of behavior is not nearly as noxious or obnoxious as you might observe in Central America, but is similar enough to draw a decent parallel.
