It's not that much money for some guys here, but for me it was quite a sum. But money come and goes, the thing that hurts the most is one's pride.
The curious thing about the way we were scammed was that the scammer's didn't exactly approached us the typical way scammers do (specially tea girls). I got carried away wanting to practice my chinese and they lead on. They didn't say "lets go drink at blah blah blah", they say "do you guys want to go check out blah blah blah". It had a different touch to it and its what caught us off-guard basically.
