Just another type of scam
[QUOTE=LurkinGround;5682572]I reached out to multiple numbers yesterday before settling on the hotel asian. Like usual, lots if crickets. I use a burner app. TodayI looked at the app and had a series of texts and a missed call from a different number.
The sender claims to be from a Mexican cartel and says I wasted his girls time. Of course they want $ or they will kill me and family members. The next text had several pics of mutilated bodies. Then the missed call.
I think (HOPEFULLY) I am safe and it's just a fishing expedition trying to get money out of people. Still a bit unnerving though.
Obviously, it had to be tied into one of the providers I reached out to but no way of knowing which one.
The really unnerving part is if a provider is doing this, could they be doing some other underhanded shit? Pictures, videos, license plate numbers, etc?
Has anyone else had the displeasure of texts like this? I googled and it seems to be happening quite a bit with the graphic photos, etc.[/QUOTE]I received threats just like you.
They usually came right after I inquired about an Asian providers rates, and chose not to partake.
The texts would say I was wasting they're girls' time and they wanted compensation.
Most times I just ignored them, but once I played along.
I told them I wanted to meet in person to give them the money, and it seemed to shut them up.
