Watch your drink, make sure your glass is empty before going to the bathroom, don’t rack up a huge bill, leave your bank cards in your sock, have a decoy wallet, have a friend on standby to give you an “emergency call”, and if a “boyfriend” appears punch him straight in the mouth and throw her purse as far as possible and leg it. Avoid basements and check for exits.

Someone's had the convenient bar next to the hotel scam done to them.
