My friend. Sorry to hear of yet another SCAM in the shittiest city of scams. Didn't you RTFF? I say that in a kidding way because that is the level of understanding I was met with back in August. Read Shanghai Shakedown. I am not really sure why but many of the elder (read way the fuck older) statesmen questioned me because after a similar encounter I wanted nothing but bad shit to rain down on Shanghai (and I still do BTW).
I must say it is pretty pitiful that this forum needs a dedicated section just for scams. That speaks VOLUMES! SCAMHAI is the most corrupt part of the world. SCAMMERS all around you.
I just left and wish I never had to go back. BEWARE!
H1.
[QUOTE=Knobbyxx;1850655]I was in Shanghai on business and have always had a great time in Asia. Girls are usually fun and finding local freebies is sometimes easy and sometimes not. So sometimes I revert to pros / MP / Backpage or CL.
This night I was feeling like going for a stroll and seeing what I could find. I went to the ATM got 2000 RMB and went for a walk. One block down the street I am met by 2 pretty girls, in there 30's. They ask if I want a massage or a girl. So I said yes. And we start talking. I mentioned that I wanted 2 girls but only wanted to spend 500 RMB. When they agreed I should have known I was in trouble!
Now, its really late 2 am and I am now thinking with my lower head! They said that I had to go with them and I could pick out the girls. FUCK, I have been doing this long ass time, andI knew that this was a bad idea! So I told them no, and started to walk away. Then the prettier of the 2 catch up with me and tell me "hey, this is all good, we just can't have girls out here on the street, just come and pick 2 girls and then we will pay your taxi back to the hotel". FUCK. I fell for it. I got in the taxi!
We drove for about 25 minutes and now I am thinking, fuck I need to get out of here. But we finally get to the establishment. And it looks like a normal KTV. I see other guys walking in and walking out. So I go in with only one of the girls.
As soon as I walk in a 2 customers with 2 girls are walking out. One of the guys looks at me, laughs and says "good luck buddy". Again, I am thining "I need to go". But know I am being led up stairs and into a small room.
The girl I met on the street tells me "OK, this is how this works, a girl is going to come in and get you warmed up, then you can pick from all of our girls and we will take you back to the hotel".
In walks a youngish 20 year old girl. Says Hi, and starts taking my clothes off. And starts trying to force me to get in her and stuff. I keep fighting it saying "listen I just want to leave" but the door is locked!
All of a sudden 2 guys walk in, saying that I owe them A LOT of money! The girl leaves and I am told to empty my pockets! I take the 2000 RMB out and say "this is all that I have".
The boss says "don't fucking lie to me!" and now the big guy is patting me down. He finds my wallet and takes all my cards out, asking what the limits are. I told him that they are all low and he is better off taking the 2000.
This is where it starts to get fucking really bad. He is typing up numbers on his calculator and comes to a figure of 195,000! He looks at me and says you owe me $195,000 US! I start laughing (not a good idea). I tell him I don't have that fucking kind of money!
Now I had 2 ATM cards and 4 credit cards in my wallet. He didn't find my main ATM as it was in a sleeve and it just looked like receipts. And my main work credit card is an airline card and it looks more like a frequent fliers card than a credit card. So he didn't find those. What he did find was one ATM for a 2nd bacn account that I sue for "playing" with only 400 US left in it and 3 credit cards that have VERY low limits on them.
So after 2 hours of arguing and making me wait, with different big guys coming in to scare me. He finally comes in with a small guy with an credit card machine. Now when he was out of the room and one of the big guys was "watching " me. I made sure to take my main credit card that looks like the airline card and my main ATM that was in the sleeve and I put them in my inside jacket pocket. I acted like I was scared and throwing up into the garbage can. Now all that is left on the table are my small $ cards. So they picked one of the cards on the table, and and ran it for 1000 US. It got declined! He was PISSED he threw the machine started yelling at me. He tells me "give me the 2000!" Then tells me to get out of there and that I am lucky!!
I have NO idea where I am, I have NO money and I didn't have the name of my hotel with me. Long story short, I finally got a taxi to take me to A Hilton, from there I told them what happened and they helped me get back to my hotel!
It was a scary fucking night, but in all honesty it went much better than it could have!
Did I learn my lesson!? NO. I ended up getting a girl off of Backpage that morning when I got back! I had to relieve stress! A ffew days later I did get my freebie and had a lot more fun with her! But damn I need to be smarter![/QUOTE]
