Travel warning. There has been lots of reports of robbery, scams in Shanghai. Many of tourists have been forcibly extorted money and they were forced to use their credit cards to pay more extortion money. Many of these syndicates operate at Nanjing Road in Shanghai and kidnap tourists and drive them to an unfamiliar place and in some instances simply rob them on the spot.
These syndicates bring along a mobile VISA/credit card terminal to swip your credit cards. Please beware and warn your friends to be extra careful when visiting China and do not talk to strangers. Many of these syndicates operate in groups. Usually one innocent looking man or lady will approach you asking if you want to visit tourist sites or cafe, pubs or discos or karaokes. Next , a group will approach you saying that your friend owes them 10000USD or more. Then they will extort money. Be careful
The syndicates register chinese travel agencies which are ficticious such as 忠成船空 Zhong Chen Travel . Police are still investicating.
