Mr Bitter, why did you call the police right after that? Your reason of not calling the cop is really stupid. There are hidden cameras everywhere in Shanghai.

Btw, if there is no police investigation, supporting your claim, the bank might think it's a fraud.

Don't do stupid things again and again. Call the cop now!

The specifics almost dont matter, the real lesson is one about gut and streets here. I learned a lesson like that once and I am sure many others have. Shit sucks but at least they were never violent physically. I had something far less scarey seeming happen in a rich subburb in the USA and I flat out said no at first because I thought that would work. Got punched a few times in the face and then I learned to count and concluded that 5 guys is in fact more than 1.

The bad part of me wonders if the guy might have offered to take Bitter to a place with hot girls and in an inebriated state Bitter might have accepted. But hey, we should give him the benefit of the doubt and take his word for it.

That sucks!

But you have to report it, you run the risk that the credit card company will not take is seriously otherwise.

shouldve just manned up and walked away. harming a foreigner is not worth it for them.

Yeah! Totally! Next time you are in a foreign country basically getting kidnapped by criminals... Just man up and walk away dude. What are you afraid of? LOL. Wtf is wrong with you? Don't you think perhaps, its IMPOSSIBLE to make that "rational" (lol) decision if you are in that real life, foreign country, threat of death, 12 am situation?

edit: damn so many ppl talking about how they would have manned up. POCKETKNIFE??? Are you guys shitting me?

If you call the police it might be a good idea to switch rooms or something.

Why did he do that, just tell them you have no money or just do like you dont even speak english. "Mich nixe verstehen!"
Worst thing would have been to get beat up, but I rather get beat up than lose 2000$.

What? You care about $2k more than yourself? What if they break your arm or your leg. You wanna be disable for the rest of your life instead of losing $2000? How dumb is that?

If you pay me 2000$ you can break one Leg of me.

"Give us all your money or we'll break one of your legs!"

I don't think you understand the situation here. If they were to harm him, it would be MUCH worse than just one leg. It could have been his life. Can't do much with $2000 if you're dead can you?

I'm also pretty sure that if you have a broken leg there isn't much you can do to fight back, and they'll take your money anyway. So your options are to either give them what they want and hope they don't harm you, or they harm you and take what they want. Lesser of two evils.

You have seen too many movies lol! No gangster would kill a tourist because he doesn't give him money. In what world are you living. If you didn't know: murdering people is also illegal in china and if they get caught they don't want to get in jail forever because they murdered someone.
These small pseudo-gangsters who mostly only try to steal from tourists are not these type of russian mafia guys who would kill someone.

- You're in a foreign country and don't know where you are
- You don't speak the language
- You're in a dodgy area
- You're outnumbered.

You have nothing going for you. You're scared and don't know what extent they will go to. My point was, whether they harm you or not they will still take your money. Why would they beat you up and then not take your money? That would just make it easier to take, so the best option in this scenario is to give them the money and pray to god they don't hurt you.

[...]Snakeheads or triads, you really want to mess with them?

Yeah and every gangster in italy is in the Sicilian Mafia... did you play alot of Sleeping Dogs in the past month? :D

For some reason after reading his "report", i have the picture of some weird ass anime-troop stuck in my head, with long elvis-hair and stuff.

On a serious note, you need to report that to officials. First of all, scum like that needs to be persecuted (not saying they will, but if you just don't report, they certainly wont), second, your bank will ask for prove. If you can not point on that police-investigation by then, they wll just tell you to gtfo.

In a foreign country whereby you cannot speak the native language. Best to stick with people who can if possible. Don't appear rich, like showing the hotel card is risky as it quite clearly shows you stay there. Perhaps write itt down a a piece of paper or something. You should also never travel alone. Sase would be a great travelling partner as he can speak chinese right?

Also, taking a cab at the bar alone is risky. As a white dude in a bar in china means that you are 100% a tourist and most likely rich. People travelling there for WCS should watch out and be careful :D

Bitter said they used a credit card machine, i was wondering how stupid the robber was to use the POS machine. The police can easily trace down them. I think Mr.Bitter may just go to the wrong place (whorehouse or sth.)，and got fraud.

I cannot believe this happened in Shanghai. Shanghai might be one of the safest cities in the world, especially to western guys.
A fully accurate story might be needed to understand why.
well, just a guess: someone did sth to a girl in the bar, and then ...
If it was just a robbery, then Mrbitter should go to the police, and I am sure the police can get those guys caught in a few days, and get the money back.

you should contact police. even if you have nothing to say it will make the insurance claim much easier to sort out.
you did the right thing by not fighting nor running, your health is more important.

Glad you made it out alright, hope everything will be sorted out and that you can look at it back as an anecdote one day (:

Silly westerners have no idea how things work in Asia. You refuse to hand over the money, you get tortured, and then they take your money. They could be pseudo gangsters, or they could be Snakeheads or triads, you really want to mess with them? You honestly think that people will care if a white person dies in China? What do they extradite the 'psuedo-gangsters' to be tried in the US? Rofl.

Indeed.
