Please be notied that Shanghai is the most safe and secure city of the world. Why would you not go for a good massage in Shanghai? I have been frequently to excellent places, not been scammed, not been overcharged, not been robbed and didn't have sex.
In your home country when a stranger approaches you on the street at night and asks you if you want to go with them for a massage, do you shrug your shoulders and say to yourself, "Sure! What could go wrong?
It is perfectly fine and totally safe to have massage in Shanghai and China , China is the safest country. Good to see Edward's posts, I know Chinese police is dedicated professionals. BTW prostitution is illegal for both sides in China and I doubt anyone can help you to get your money back, unless you find someone who is connected with them. The way to do it is simple.
You can protented my company's employee and use the money from company. And we come there together and tell them you are leaving China and after you leave I will sue them if don't give money back. Those people will be afraid of such action. Unfortunately most victims are too afraid or don't have the time to report or go back together settle it, most victims were there only for a couple days. Victims in massage prostitution scam are afraid and too embarrassed to report the crime.
Police is more than eager to help, but regrettably victims mistakenly assumed police is part of the scam as in many 3rd world countries. Shanghai is a modern metropolis, go to the police, they are there to help, they have special English speaking unit to help foreigners. Profile Sign in.
