Dear tourists, stay away from Polish strip clubs, don’t support (and likely become victim of) organized crime.

  2. Bro doing his part of paying these ww2 reparations /s

  3. common scam. Btw if you are in Warsaw stay away from the Minus Music Club, there are stories of people getting drugged and scammed there

  5. No sympathy.

    going to stripclubs in eastern europe is a recipe for disaster. this is not germany or netherlands.

  6. Well, this scam is known everywhere and not only Polish/Cracow thing.

    Either it’s UK, Poland or Korea – it works this way.

  9. There are only 2 strip clubs in Poland that is really top class – I’ve been to quite a few and also ‘rescued’ a friend from inside the strip club in Krakow.

    The good ones are – New Orleans Gentlemen Club in Warsaw and I forgot the name of the other one (also in Warsaw).

    Decent service, classy women, all done in clear.. New Orleans has and active FB / Insta page for quite some time. They also come to pick you up from the hotel if you want.

    Loved every bit of it. I would say i almost felt as if I am in a different country’s stip club.

    But those in Krakow are fucking doggy, stinks, and you can sense you are about to get fucked

  10. Was there in august my friend had the same thing happen he lost 4k and got roofied. Not saying he didn’t do a dumb thing but something should be done to stop this scam.

  11. Advice of “staying away” from the clubs would be legit only if there were not people (young girls)luring or harassing passerbys to get inside.
    Responsibility of polish authorities both local and nationals is clearly at stake here
    These scams has been going on for years (if not decades?) in all major city centers, with no actions.

  12. if you are going to lose your parents money do it with style… (and stupidity)

  13. It’s a chain of scam strip clubs all over Poland. My ex worked in one as a bartender. All promoters you find harassing you on the street work for them. Don’t go to any strip clubs in Gdańsk and Kraków, that’s for sure. They all do this stuff.

  15. I entered such a club once at 4 am out of curiosity. I vividly remember having to force my way to the exit door through four semi-naked women xD

  16. Everybody knows that you do not bring your card to such clubs. Cash only.

    By the way, very resourceful 18 year old. It’s not common to have so much money at this age.

  17. Probably should put NSFW tag before someone will have a shitfit

  19. >Dear tourists, stay away from Polish strip clubs, don’t support (and likely become victim of) organized crime.

    This is not a Polish thing, this happens literally everywhere in the world. You shouldn’t go to shady places or do stuff that might turn out badly for you. Also I have no clue why a tourist would go to a strip club… maybe i have a different mindset.

  20. It is classic, can be much worse. These morons spent much more when they drunk often strip club has surveillance proofs.

    P.s I worked in one international bank and spent some time in chargeback department

    P.s.s it is pretty common, not only in Poland

  24. Here’s a handy step-by-step guide on how not to get scammed in the strip club:

    1. Step one: don’t go to the strip club.

    That’s it! Congratulations on not getting scammed!

    Now, once you get scammed… The step-by-step guide on what to do along with handy excuses on why the fuck were you there in the first place is book-length.

  25. Lol, EVERY WEEK this happens in Warsaw, Gdansk, Wroclaw, etc…

    And still people fall for it!!

    IDIOTS THEY WILL PUT ROHYPNOL IN YOUR DRINK! Dont be imbeciles! Dont go to strip clubs, you fools!

  29. Kinda easy to find them .
    There are cameras everywhere in Krakow and just track down the day and time of the withdrawals. Use the cameras on the area the find the person, assuming the withdrawal was done in the city

  30. He got adult life lesson #1
    – If you let them, they will take your money

  31. I was in a relationship for couple of months with girl that works in places like this. They are doing it every time and even get bonus pay for scammed people. It’s a dirty business, always was and always will be. All their pray is young drunk turists, since all locals knows the drill. Try to go alone as a man in big city square of any polish coty before midnight. You will get 5-10 ‘incitations’ to enter.

  32. Unfortunately this is pretty common, i’ve never been a victim because I knew prior to walking in to only use cash and my girlfriend at the time worked in a couple of the clubs and warned me. Sogo in Warsaw is notorious for this, if you look up reviews online there’s a laundry list of tourists telling the same story. The Playhouse is more upscale but the girls are super aggressive there, they will just keep coming at you until you get a private dance or start buying them drinks. They rotate, each one gets five minutes to try to convince you to spend more money if it doesn’t work she walks away and another one takes her place. Sofia is a little smaller and more laid-back, out of all of them it’s probably the safest.

  33. Anyone else who never visits strip clubs intrigued to go to one of these to see what they are like ?

    I kinda feel it has to be super obvious that its a scam right ? Or is it more elaborate than just taking money off your card without your permission ?

    I guess I’m curious how the scam works ?

  34. In Warsaw there is strip clubs where they scam people and drug them to take all of your money from your account. Police is doing nothing to stop this. :/

  36. Am I wrong to think it is possible because of the Western credit card system?
