Wanted to make fellow mongers aware of a SCAM. Detroit Police / 12th Precinct
I had texted a few massages / body rub providers last week (4 of them) from the various sites (we all know what they are) looking for a 1 hour appointment and if they had any availability, that was the extent of my message. Just asking for an appointment. Not for a massage, not for anything other than an appointment.
Well, yesterday I received a call. Caller I'd said "Detroit Police Department / Twelfth Precinct" and even had the actual number to the real 12th precinct show up. Person on the other end goes on to explain how one of the providers was underage and am I aware I can be arrested and held in jail indefinity until brought in front of a judge on child trafficking charges. Very insistent that there are 2 options (get ready for this) - they will either issue the warrant for my arrest right now or I can enroll if a sex offender class for $7000. I must make the choice right there on the phone.
Two things to note. I never asked for anything other than an appointment, and any of the providers I texted are all that we have discussed here many times, not, as far as I am aware, are even close to being underage. That's not my bag, then, now, or ever.
Anyways, once they asked for the $7 K class I then new it was a scam. To be transparent, initially I thought. Whoa. Is this real?
I ultimately told them to come pick me up with the warrant at their mother's house, as she was the one I was actually getting the massage from. They called back repeatedly and I had to block the number.
Also as a follow up, I called the real 12th Precinct and talked to a detective about the entire situation and he mentioned he had gotten other calls in the past about this and it is a scam. If DPD ever calls you, it will show up as #9999 and not the actual number.
I just wanted to share in case anyone else had any weird calls over the last week and to not fall for the bullshit.
Stay safe peeps!
