One thing missing from your lessons is that you should never carry around your debit card like that, even when you're traveling. Use it to withdraw cash, but then keep it in the hotel safe or somewhere else. It can be harder to use credit cards abroad, but I know Capital One has a student card without foreign transaction fees, and you're much better protected with a credit card than a debit card. Considering how often tourists are targeted in foreign countries, the slight inconvenience is worth the protection. | ||

) and become a easy mark. And it's easy to say he shouldn't have done this or that but it's not that easy, you have no clue how you will react until it happens to yourself. You have to be one fucking ice cold monster if you able to think straight and react perfectly in a situation like that where your totally surprised. And if you can, join the army cause you can make big bucks with talents like that. But next time dont take cards with you where you can withdraw that much money from, just buy some prepaid cards and cash. Fuck it if you loose that, i just buy 5 prepaid cards nowadays and deposit like $100 on each when im on travel. One in the pocket and the rest i leave in the hotel and just trash them if they are empty. Have to say, pretty good setup those Chinese guys had tho, thats a pretty legitimate scam. | ||

You are both giving them face, and testing how they would react and how far they would go. You can always back off if they presses on, let them know you were just buffing, and will give them everything in the bank account. | ||

Glad to hear he is ok - we all make mistakes and he's lucky that this one only cost him $$ and a dent to his pride. I've had someone jump in a cab I'm in - to start with you rely on the driver to sort it out. Not your everyday situation. Who knows if the cab driver was in on it, seems likely though. Live Bitter said. live and learn | ||

Creditcard machine is probably from the place where they took him. Go to the police and they will just say that Bitter got a massage from 10 girls, was drunk (spotter at the club) handed out champagne to everyone and all the employees will back the owner and your alone with your word. I bet you they run this scam at least 3 to 5 times a week. | ||
