I got nicked for 690 RMB for a few beers and drinks. Small potatoes compared to what others have reported but it still stung. The shopkeeper brings little snacks - stuff that should be free. Turns out that tiny plate of almonds cost 139 RMB - about $20 US.
If you get stuck like this put down half the total and tell them and the shop owners that is all you are paying and walk out. Let them figure it out.

So the police came to the tourist office and I took them to the shop - name above the door says "Internet Cafe". We waited outside for a while until another police car came. Then we - 5 police officers and me - went into the shop. One officer spoke English reasonably well and translated.
After some wrangling with the owner they offered to adjust the bill. I said I would pay for the beers but not the drinks the girls ordered, nor the overpriced almonds and snacks (which I did not order). Total refunded to me was 376 RMB (about $50 US). I was quite surprised by this outcome. Figured the money was lost.
This scam appears to be quite common. While I was walking around before I went to the tourist office I was approached by 3 other pairs of women, apparently with the same program in mind. I assume they get a kick back from the teashops, but maybe they just do it for the joy of screwing tourists.
