Avoid This COMMON SCAM In Shanghai, China 🇨🇳🇨🇳

[@MishkaTravels]

When I was in Shanghai last year, a friendly couple approached me asking if I could take a picture for them, then started chatting to me - asking where I'm from, what I'm doing in Shanghai, how I like China, the usual. Their English was quite good which is VERY unusual for China as you know :) Eventually they invited me to join them for a traditional tea ceremony. I said no because I had other plans and just didn't feel like it. Didn't think much of it but a few months later I came across a blog post detailing the Shanghai tea ceremony scam and finally realised things could've gone very bad if I had said yes.

Glad you didn’t take the bait. I research KZbin for scams before traveling to a new country.

I've experienced the exact same thing today at the bund and paid in the end 140usd. My mind was racing, when I saw the Bill, but i still was under pressure and drunk at the same time, so I paid. Those 140 USD learnt me a lot

Exactly the same happened to me when i was there. Luckily i said no to everyone right from when it started My plan is to turn it around next time i am getting there: when somebody approaches me i will hammer them with questions and invite them to the next mcdonalds for a happy meal

This happened to me in Shanghai recently. Some woman came up to me saying about going to tea.

If I ever go there I would act stupid so they will eventually give up .
