[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]poster who was targeted for the tea house scam here again

More specifics about my situation:
I'm American but my brother was living in Shanghai for a year for his job, and I was there to visit him.   He still had to work during the day so I was on my own, touring the city.  This was my first day there and I was still really exhausted from travel.
I had just left the Shanghai museum when two young people (college age) approached me.  It was a girl and a boy and the girl did all the talking.  They asked me to take their photo and after I did the girl started telling me how the boy was her friend and they were both students.   That he was visiting her from a different part of China and they had heard about a "tea festival" and they were on their way there.   They invited me to go with them and "experience culture."
I actually LOVE meeting people from different countries and cultures and honestly if it had been a different day I might have fallen for it and gone along.   They seemed very sweet and friendly.  But I was just so tired and wanted to go back to my brother's apartment to rest so I declined.  It wasn't until much later that I was reading online and realized I dodged a bullet.[/quote]

What do you think they would have done to you? [/quote]
