There is a scam in Poland where men are drugged and robbed at strip clubs. It happened to me in and its still going on today. If you have been scammed, there appears little you can do. First thing is try going to the police. More than likely they will not be interested but they might help. Next thing is to contact your bank. If you have paid by credit card, file a fraudulent claim. If you paid by debit card, you may be out of luck.
Its much harder to get money back from a debit card. I think the best you can do there is argue is was stolen and point to the other people that have been ripped off. If the transactions were chip and pin you will find it really hard to dispute. If you are in Norway, you can probably get your money back as there was a court ruling that says the victim was not liable as he was drugged. If you have any more tips, please post below.
Looks like they are doing something to rectify the problem. See the post Strip Club Raided. It was originally broadcast nation wide in Poland on March 16, 13 days ago. I participated in a very small way, becauseI I believe it is an effective first step in making these clubs accountable for the criminal aclivity that they regularily engage in.
The TVN team is very interested in documenting additional experiences of foreign touriists in these clubs for a possible sequel to this programe. In addition, the national media in the UK, Germany and Canada have expressed an interest in this subject, and would welcome contact from victims of their respective countries. Got ripped off at Lust in Katowice.
When I checked the transactions I saw that they got from me and zlotis. But of course they never drink. They try to avoid showing you the pos machine and ask for your pin. They will even threaten you to take your liver, just like they asked me.
