Well I had heard this happens. I went to Wanchai around midnight on Saturday night. I was with a friend but we got separated, and I came to around 7 am somewhere in Wanchai. I have charges on three different credit cards of totaling over $15,000 HKD. About $9000 at one bar, and $6000 at another. These bars aren't Wanchai girlie bars - they are two somewhat reputable bars (for Wanchai anyway).
I think I was probably drugged by some bar girls and they had me purchase all these drinks. I had heard they normally make you go to an ATM and withdraw money to hand to them, but maybe that is too risky now so they have some arrangement with bars to get a kick back of drinks you order there.
I have emailed both these bars and asked for receipts of my transactions. I can't imagine they would not have an idea of what was going on - that I was being scammed.
What should I do now? I feel a bit foolish that I went to Wanchai drunk in the first place, but I was definitely taken advantage of. Should I file a police report? I have a feeling this happens quite a lot but doesn't get reported. Maybe because it happens to married men who shouldn't be in Wanchai in the first place. I'm not married nor have a girlfriend so I won't be too embarrassed to report it if I need to.
