Re: Vietnam - HCM (Thread 3)
Not too long ago , I have gone to HCMC alone to meet up with some friends and suppliers . I have noticed how some seniors operated and why some think they are OKts and stuff . It was making me skeptical about the seniors and I did some research on my own to see how it is operated. While some are real people with real contact numbers and names while others aren't .
The problem is we won't know whether if there is an actual person hiding behind newly created nicknames claims they know this and that with nothing to back take claims with . No one actually met this so called "people" and I message them , they don't seem to reply bak to me .
Anyway , from what I gather this is how these people make use of unnoticing newbies .
They will post on the forum on how and where they go , typically around D1 districts and offering to look for kakis to chiong with and some are newbies like me around. Typically they will tell you they have bussiness or working in high places here in HCMC . Ranging from bussiness directors to owners of bussinesses.
For newbies like us , we are thinking ok , someone is offering to bring a lost sheep like me to paradise land which many claims with pictures like this. So nice of them.
They will meet us up somewhere in D1 where they stay and we will go for simple food like ban mi or just pho bho. This usually don't cost alot and they will typically offer to "pay" to show their generosity and how "rich" they are.
This is followed by bringing you to eye candy shops in the District 1 ranging from LD series to others. The services would typically include a pretty girl helping you to wash your hair and massage and digging your ear. They will then offer to be your translator and "pay" for you upfront and so called "share" the cost by splitting after. Most of the time , this senior would choose to have all the services and probably include the tip he gives to the girls into the "shared" cost so newbies would probably blindly pay more than what they need.
Next they would probably bring you to a bia om or ktv of their choice . Typically those that are found in the Ts's links and they will show you how pretty their choice of hostess and stuff are. Then they will tell you how they are going to split cost and he goes on to order drinks. Most of the time , the first few times he brings you out , he won't attempt to fleece you. After that they would probably try to order hard liqour and stuff to inflate the prices where they too probably have some arrangements to take back from the operators.
They will bring you for dinner ranging from no hand restaurants to herbal soups in various places . Typically , they are pretty transparent here and will share cost and stuff. This will line up for further fleecing ahead as they slowly gain your trust.
After dinner , they probably bring you around either to places like bbbj joints or Fj joints or even places where they offer take aways , typically they will tell you that they can get a good price for you and most of the time it is true they are able to get a good price for you and they are unlikely to do much on the price. This part would probably make you trust them even more .
Once you are happily released as the night arrives , they would proceed to either bring you to pubs or discos and some times even casinos. Most of the time this is where their main biz is. Many of these pubs they go to , they will try to order quite a few bottles of liqour and stuff and attempt to make you high and drunk in the name of having fun and making you enjoy . Chances are you will probably not be able to finish the amount of drinks you ordered and in most cases they will keep those bottles which can be either encashed or to be used for the next victim as a form of good will by showing their generosity in giving their liqour to you . The drinks paid per night on "sharing" would probably go from 2mil - 4mil and might be even higher. Most of the time you would probably be too high to even remember how much you paid and whether if you actually know how much you were fleeced.
Last to end of with , they are always willing payers for all theses services and if you are willing to follow them , then just pay for it . Thanks
