We just returned & one of our crew (young single male) was walking home around midnight a few nights ago from a night at the Jalan Legian dance clubs when a young Indonesian female pulled up on a motorbike & enticed/forced him into an alley entrance on Jalan Legian near the Jalan Three Brothers turn off, using some very powerful sexual advances (rubbing her hands all over his shorts area)to which he resisted & after a short time she jumped on her bike & disappeared. He was really reluctant to tell us as he felt incredibly embarrassed that he had allowed it to happen even if for only a short time. The next morning he discovered that he had Rp 150,000 & several hundred Aust. dollars removed from his back pockets. Tell any young males that you know to be travelling to Bali to be vigilant with their money & watch out for this scam, the Police were notified but we aren't holding our breath that they can catch this culprit/s.
