I was quoted 200 for everything on the streets of nanjing east road. too good to be true? i went ahead. I follow this lady, walked like more than 10mins. Tell tale sign but i was too stupid to see it. Went to somewhere without tourist.
Went in the "KTV" was fishy but again, I was stupid. then paid 200, received a handjob, was promised FJ after but the girl asked for 100 tips in advance. Another tell tale sign but shit, wtf was i thinking. then right after she left the room, few guys came in demanded money and all. They wanted use force but they were too weak for me. In the end i complied to sit down without throwing a punch knowing i am heavily out numbered. They even call in like 5 more guys after they can't hold me down earlier.
In the end they found out i only have 300 left. Luckily i only have got 300 left with no credit cards. They threaten all kinds of things from putting me in prison to mafia and police. They let me leave after an hour or so. Money is nothing compared to what i read online. But i feel so stupid.
Guys, please take note and share with buddies going shanghai. Don't ever follow anyone at nanjing road east, and if the deal is too good to be true, think twice, its china.

Bro, me too, I thought I was smart but I got too used to hatyai/shanghai and fell into the scam last year too. But since I'm used to having credit card with me, I got burn slightly. A costly lesson but great to share to all bros
Do take note, people in shanghai are very friendly but if someone approaches you and want to bring you somewhere, chances are it's a scam.
