[quote=GUEST21652,381666]Regarding "Is it just women or do men scam too?" I had a male approach me for the "practice English over coffee" scam. When the bill came for 475 RMB. Both the waitress and the scam artist looked at me, bracing themselves for my reaction. I reached in my pocket (the pocket where I only kept 170RMB) and pulled it all out and said "well...we've got a problem because this is all I have. In reality, I had 2000 RMB in another pocket. He asked if I had a credit card and I told him it was in the safe at my room (another lie). He then got out his credit card and pretended to go over and take care of the bill. I think the 170 RMB (26 USD) that I shelled out was still a high profit take although it could have been worse. These scam artists are indeed superb actors. It's too bad the Shanhai officials didn't care enough to bust up these operations. These scam artists are going to make a killing for the 2010 World Expo. [/quote]
