I fall into their stupid trap. Please read on the internet about East Nanjing Lu. All same modus operandi
To others who want to come to Shanghai, please avoid this area or atleast dont entertain anyone who approach u. Other than this area, Shanghai is pretty much safe.
Let me tell you, I shared your story with my China colleagues. They are now based in Malaysia, one was from Beijing and another one from Shanghai.
They told me, the first thing you should do is report to the police in China. They are very efficient and they are trying to get rid of this kind of cheaters and gangsters in China. Moreover, big cities like Shanghai and Beijing take safety issue seriously. I had stayed in Beijing before and I know how safe it is.
If you make police reports, they usually prioritize foreigners. So, they advise you not to waste time and make a police report in China.
About being threatened by them, there is no such thing, what can they do with your details.
All the best.
