IRL Tokyo streamer saves tourist from potential dangerous scam Twitter\/Twitch\/robcdeeIRL Twitch streamer \u2018robcdee\u2019 saved an unsuspecting tourist from a potentially dangerous scam on the streets of Tokyo, and it happened live on the broadcast! Rob, an Australian streamer who documents his travels around Japan on Twitch, was contemplating heading into a sports bar on May 14 when he noticed a tourist being led to a club nearby. Due to his experience traversing the land of the rising sun, the streamer had a feeling the tourist could be about to be scammed and asked his chat what he should do. \u201cThat guy\u2019s getting scammed!\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cThat guy\u2019s getting scammed. Do I save him?\u201d In the past, Robcdee has made a habit of \u201csaving\u201d tourists in awkward situations being aggressively hit on by strangers and even kids who have lost their parents. After chat urged the streamer to attempt to save the stranger, Rob took off on his bike and whispered to the potential club goer that he was \u201cbeing scammed.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ll lose like, a grand,\u201d he informed the man. \u201cOh yeah?\u201d the stranger questioned back. \u201cYeah,\u201d Rob replied and hurried back to the sports bar. While it\u2019s unclear if the man was definitely going to be scammed, or whether there was any trouble at all, some users on Reddit speculated that the tourist may have been walking into a trap, one involving the potential use of drugs. \u201cDudes get baited into going into bars where they\u2019ll supposedly meet beautiful Japanese women who would love to chat\/drink with them and they end up getting scammed,\u201d user TheEmoWalrus chimed in. \u201cUsually involves a drugged drink and they run your cards\/go through your wallet while you\u2019re passed out. If you try to leave they might also rough you up a bit to make you pay,\u201d the user continued. \u201cSadly a lot of people who come over don\u2019t do their research on stuff like this and think that since Japan is so safe that stuff like this doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d Whatever the case, it would seem like the \u201cAngel of Shibuya\u201d was able to keep the stranger from the club and with his money intact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
