Good news!
You can get your money back!
The day after I lost my money on a scam, I went to the police with the card of the tea shop ("Shanghai Zhu Qing Tea House", address: Hankoulu 639, tel:021-63513859). The address of the police station is "Guizhoulu 85", it's in a side stree of West Nanjing Road (see the map below)

The police called a guy of the tea house (probably the shop keeper). As I had no receit he asked me how much I paid him　and I answered 900RMB. Then he said as I have drunk some cups of tea he will give me back 600RMB. I said 850RMB. He said 800RMB. I said 850RMB. He said 840RMB. I said OK. He gave me the money and I wrote a receit for him.
It was surprising smooth and easy. However, if you don't speak Chinese it may take a little bit more time (most of the police officers don't speak English).
By the way, all this happened in the police station! The scam nearly seems to be a legal business in Shanghai...
Cheers
