I know I was stupid. I wasn't thinking. So please reframe from "you should have been more careful", "you're an idiot." Cuz I already know...
I'm writing this in the hopes that it will help other newcomers to the area.
I walked out of Shinjuku Prince Hotel, right into Kabukicho, the red light district center of Tokyo. Just wanted to take the sights in. Not 5 minutes into my walk, these japanese and black guys walk up to me and start asking me if I want to have sex with a Japanese girl. I walked away from a few, saying I'm just here to look. But this one black guy calls over his Japanese friend ("Yoshi"), and has him guide me around a bit. Which I appreciated. Of course he's trying to sell me a call girl service. He started quoting prices around 40,000 yen for 120 minute soapland experience. But it was higher than my budget for the night, so I politely declined. After walking and talking for a few more minutes, he recommended that I try just a love hotel call girl for 22,000 yen for 70 minutes, + 2,000 yen for lotion play. This happened to be around my budget.
So here's the setup:
He then tells me I got to meet with the shop employee ("Nagashi"), who will show me a list of girls for me to choose from. I can choose up to 3, in case when the girl shows up, she's different than what I expect. After I choose the girl, I have to pay the guy upfront. It was similar to what I've read about some shops where you pay after choosing from a set of pictures. Then, as we're walking to the hotel, he tells me I need to make a 50,000 yen deposit, which I'll get back if I don't go over my time limit. But I didn't have the 50,000 yen. He made a phone call and said 30,000 yen is ok. We got to the hotel and he told me to wait there while he gets the girl. He left, never to show up again.
About an hour and a half later, after looking around everywhere for this guy, I went back to the hotel he told me to wait at. I saw another poor guy, 19 from Hong Kong, who's also "waiting" for the girl to arrive. I told him my story and we went to the police. They ripped him out of 90,000 yen, almost took his passport, too.
The police took a report of our claim, but that was probably futile.
TR;DL - I got scammed 54,000 yen by this Japanese guy who promised a call girl and told me to wait at a hotel.
Please be careful, guys. Especially those new to the area, like me...
