Sounds really bad and reminds me on Maputo in Mozambique where they follow the tourists and I was fully aware of this and the only time I have really been concerned. There must have been between 6 and 8 individuals following me and I lost some of them but they soon caught up again and why I returned to the harbor early.

oh well at least it isn't like that here. I have always said that one of the main things I really like about Vietnam is that it is exceptionally safe. I have never heard of anyone being a victim of any sort of violent crime or armed robbery here. I'm sure it happens but it has to be extremely rare. While there are annoyances and rip-off artists here nobody ever gets violent. They might shout at you saying mean things if you refuse to pay 10x what something is worth, but they aren't ever going to follow you or attack you. That situation you described sounds awful. I'll put Mozambique on my "no go" list.
