This didn't really happen, did it? You followed some stranger into a dark alley, where you met a gangster surrounded by scary-looking henchmen? Then, not only did you not call the cops, you didn't call the US embassy, but instead decided to post a long essay about your story to the gullible people on Reddit. Why didn't you record the license plate of the taxi? All the shanghai taxis have ID tags in front of the side seat so you can identify them as well. Why did you not read any street signs to figure out where the hell you where? Every street sign in Shanghai has pinyin, regardless of how "ghetto" the area is. Smells like BS.

There is also the sheer ridiculousness of getting mugged by 80s-movies Chinese gangsters while being in one of the safest cities in one of the safest countries in the world, where crimes against Western foreigners are taken extremely seriously. My guess of the real story is that this guy blew $1600 on alcohol/prostitutes/whatever, and wants the bank to reimburse him for it now because of these mysterious "gangsters." It makes me sick that guys like this mrbitter fellow so willingly exploit the sympathies of others.

Has it been explained yet somewhere in this thread how they managed to exceed the debit withdraw limit?

They did not withdraw cash, they made a money transaction. The limit for both is different.

Ah, a derp on my part, I see I see.

My parents got street robbed in France a while ago. Seems like a lot of travel stories are like that. Well, though they did get mugged, the kid was like 18 (and unarmed), so my dad grabbed him and threw him against a building and took back my mom's purse. The poor street bastard lol

So honestly you got hit by a regular scam in China, hotels and hostels have posters and papers plastered on the walls about the regular scams to watch out for. Good luck.

Man up. Stop being bitter and make sure you can handle yourself next time. Buy a gym card and take some lessons in how to kill people. However, this whole story reeks fraud. I'm pretty sure you can track where the payment came from ...

The amount of people telling him to man up and fight the thugs is just mind blowing. Good luck fighting them on your own.

If it were me, I'd dispose of my cards when I'm in the taxi. Then you can call and cancel the card later.
I sympathize with Mr. Bitter though, it can be very hard to think straight in a situation like that.

I was going to make a post ridiculing you for your ridiculousness but then I realized that you're going to be stabbed to death by muggers in a foreign country some day because you thought you could fight off 4 of them with your bare hands.

Should take a trip to south america, you pull over to a location in a fake cab. Two guys come in and shoot you and just take your money.

But I'm sure this gaming website is just full of fully-trained navy seals who have 10+ years of indepth combat experiance and have been known to take on 3-4 armed assailiants at a time.

Pro-tip to everyone, no matter how tough you are do not fuck with people trying to rob you if they have weapons. There is no amount of money worth being killed over and it happens ALOT more than you think it does and you die a hell of alot easier than the people in the movies do.

Luckily, they only took your money. You could have been on a hospital if things went wrong.

Hope you manage to get the cash back though!

not even bruce lee could win single handedly against an army of armed thugs so i'd like to see the internet tough guys "man up"
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

I'm a decent size guy (186cm 92kg), spend 5 hours a week doing a couple of martial arts. And if in a foreign country I was in a room with 4 guys around me, I give my wallet and PIN faster than you can say "plsdntkillme". You don't know if they are armed, you don't know the self defence laws, if the people have police contacts or even how to get to the hotel from there. You remember you have travel insurance/fraud protection on your credit cards and do what you need to to get out in tact. Hell 4 clearly unarmed guys rob me anywhere I hand over my money. Doing drills where you fight against 2 people you don't succeed half the time. With 4 people, you will end up on the ground having your head stomped unless you are in a situation with lots of room to get away. Unless of course you are an internet tough guy, in which case please withdraw your savings, stickytape it all to the outside of your body, and head to the worst part of your nearest capital and walk around at night till you get in a situation where 4 people try and rob you. Defend yourself and post the video ASAP.

MrBitter got out alive from a bad situation. Maybe he could of gotten out with his money too? Maybe he could of died or at least been very severely injured/chronic pain. Now sure he made mistakes which he acknowledges, but handing over the money wasn't one of them.

i don't understand, so you were getting in a taxi, and a complete random chinese stranger came in, and said something in chinese (not understanding what he's saying) and let the taxi actually start moving? i find this very hard to believe, especially in the nice areas of shanghai. maybe some kind of normal scam, but not this lol...

I was happy to see you casting today after undergoing such an ordeal. Most muggings are quick brutish affairs, but this one seemed like a saga.

Yeah how can you do nothing 1v4 against people when you don't even know if they're armed, it's not a fucking movie bro.
You'll wish I'd never stooped to notice you.

A what?



He says on reddit that he has called the bank and that they are launching an investigation. So hopefully!


He will call the bank but not the police. Interesting.
