Also was approached by girls in Shanghai, I thought they were FL but I later read that this is a very famous tea scam. Avoid them.

Avoid touts in Shanghai promising you girls for RMB200. They will rip you off. I would avoid KTV unless you are guest of a local.

My 2 cents.
Poopbunny,

Another entrapment and con trick. Would you care to elaborate. I frequent Hong Kong and might be travelling to Shanghai in November. Which bar in Hong Kong are you talking about? Are they the ones in Wan Chai? Lockhart Road?

What about the "Tea Scam"? What is it like? Please explain? When I visited Shanghai about 3 years ago, while walking along Nanking Road West, "The Pedestrian Street" I was appproached by touts offering "Pretty Girls" for RMB150 to RMB200. Are you talking about these illicit offers?

I guess when we travel, we have to be vigilant and use common sense.
