Insiders might be the source
[QUOTE=MickPK; 1470415]Funny, when this place opened in January there was minimal discussion about it and consensus seemed to be that it was legit (supported by at least one review) ; go figure.
The link has apparently been disabled, by the way.[/QUOTE]It is not a surprise and very often that their business competitor or unsatisfied custommer report them.
"Feeling uncomfortable?"
Thanks for posting story.
Sounds like another outstanding piece of police work!
"The owner of the rival spa told police she sent a male employee into the Goldfish Spa to check out the competition. The employee told police he was told to lie nude, facedown on the massage table without a robe, towel or anything to cover his body. During the massage, the masseuse rubbed close to his private parts, making him feel uncomfortable, but there was no sexual contact."
I am in metro west area I have no recent reports other than I tried "Jolin's" in Framingham.
I had the impression the "types" employed were the exception than the rule.
Wasnt looking for FS. But I must say the few "ladies" seen when I dropped in were pretty and "passable".
Nothing exposed or requested to be. Excellent massage and all the oil was washed off with a hot toil.
Goldfish Spa. Complaints almost immediately after openning
[QUOTE=MickPK;1470464]Also, the article states that when the "rival spa" employee was checking them out,"there was no sexual contact." If not, why did LEO bother investigating?[/QUOTE]BILLERICA. The bright-neon, flickering open-for-business sign could still be seen flashing in the window of a Boston Road massage parlor on Tuesday, even after its owner had been arrested approximately one week earlier and charged with offering sexual services to customers in exchange for cash.
However, Police Chief <name deleted said it will only be a matter of time before the state shuts down the Goldfish Spa for good.
Police Chief <name deleted said that on the night of May 22, Detective Sgt. <name deleted visited the 884 Boston Road massage parlor and arrested 54-year-old Chelmsford resident <name deleted .
According to the Secretary of the Commonwealth's Corporations Division, the Goldfish Spa had only been open since Jan. 11.
"I will say that almost immediately after they opened we started to get complaints from residents and businesses," Police Chief <name deleted said.
He said he could not yet elaborate on the details of the investigation but added that the state Department of Public Health inspected the spa and is working to revoke its business license.
The 884 Boston Road address is also home to Enterprise Rent-A-Car. An employee at the rental- car agency said Tuesday nobody had any idea that an arrest had been made at the Goldfish Spa.
Inside the spa, a smiling woman who identified herself as <name deleted said news that the was business closing "is not true," but added she couldn't talk about it further because her "English was not good."
Police Chief <name deleted said other than having the state complete its investigation,"the next step is to work with the landlord to get the place shut down."
According to land records, the property is leased to <name deleted by owner <name deleted who also owns a real-estate company located just a few doors away from Goldfish Spa. A message left for <name deleted at Realty World Advantage, located at 880 Boston Road, was not returned.
Goldfish Spa has no website but advertises its services through other websites like craigslist. Org and backpage. Com. On the same day that <name deleted was arrested, an ad appeared on craigslist. Com offering "Chinese Tui Na bodywork and foot reflexology for men in women in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere" at a rate of $60 per hour or $40 per half-hour.
Police Chief <name deleted said police regularly keep tabs on online massage advertisements,"whether they run on craigslist. Org or another site."
In March 2010, Billerica police busted what they described as a prostitution ring operating from a Concord Road apartment. Months earlier, police staked out the front of the apartment building and confronted a man who had gone inside. The man told police he had obtained the phone number of a woman who had posted an ad on craigslist. Org for massages.
The woman was arrested after she offered various sex acts in exchange for money to an undercover officer who had called the number hours earlier and arranged for a massage.
Yesterday was Sunny for me
Woke up, saw the rain, started thinking about all the stings and busts in mass recently and decided it was time to take a ride to providence. Called and mamasan told. Me sunny was working and made appt for an hour later. Got there five minutes early and. Mamasan took me into the room closest to back door. Sunny walked in log looking great. Big smiles and some sweet kisses. Ts was thorough and very pleasant. Back on room I asked for medium. She got right to work on a very nice massage. The whole time I'm laying there I'm hearing guy after guy come to the door asking for sunny, sorry guys. She laid on my back and gave my neck soft kisses pre flip. She lets her hair slide up and down your back as she gently touches and it feels like she its lightly rimmimg but its just am illusion, a great one. Flipped and. More kissing, cuddling and moaning. Finished with nice slow release. She dressed me and big hugs and kisses goodbye. .60. 40 I would have slipped her another 20 if if brought out in. She is the best but I worry that each time I see her could be the last. I hope not. With all the problems in mass RI just seems safer.
One Member's Opinion Only
[QUOTE=AMP Slave; 1470139]Really do not think the problem is whether it is near a school or not but with all the traffic going in and out next to other businesses, it has others jealous. Not to blame others also but sites like this give out way to much info and Uncle LEO reads this. LEO needs an excuse to bust them and they get it from here and other sites. I believe that LEO just uses the excuse that complains are coming in from all over.
I only left my post regarding the arrests in Lexington to contradict this poster's belief (and probably a lot more of you, too, but I'm not really sure) that the call-in, text-in, or email tips to LE about AMPs or general prostitution is made up by the police, or not prevalent, or non-existent, or not the true source of their info and investigations.
AMP Slave seems to indicate it's a way for them to "pad" their rational, or a superfluous addition to their reasons to the public, but I believe that they get a lot more info this way than you would think. Especially in these times, too. Many town's websites (including Lex, Waltham, Newton, Arlington, & others) indicate the number for an anonymous crime tip right in the same column as other random town / city departments' phone lists, plus individual LE webpages display the number or means actively and clearly.
Additionally, at the bottom of most crime articles in the local papers is usually a sentence saying something to the effect that local LE requests anyone with info to please submit a tip, and it can be in the form of an email address they provide or the anonymous tip line number, or through citizensobserver dot com (texting in tip service,) or writing a regular US mail letter etc. They're pretty flexible with the options, they accept anonymous or non-anonymous tips, and will call / email you back upon request, or leave you alone if that's what you indicate too.
This is for all crimes, not just prostitution. You can tip in drug activity in your neighborhood, or that you saw someone have a gun in a school locker and so much more. And the public is responding. New watch groups are appearing everywhere. Check out citizen observer's website and the alert and tip sections. You will learn something. These services are being used more now by the public than any of you know or want to believe.
Plus it's a generally held belief out here that local LE's all know about the spots within their respective towns and cities where prostitution is.
Had AMP slave not made what I feel is an assinine statement, I never would have shared these two posts. Wake up people. Mongers have their opposition and it's not just LE alone. I still go to AMPs, but never went to Lexington, and am I glad I chose not to. And I'm very careful and try to be very discreet and covert when I do go to an AMP.
I believe Lex is still open, so you can still go if you're so inclined, but now you may be a bit more paranoid in doing so. And you probably should be too. They are still advertising on C L. Maybe they got new masseuses, I dunno. You haven't lost Lex yet as a choice, so don't get all in a huff. Bottom line was three people were arrested, have to go to court, spend some money on attorneys and fines, get-off maybe or not. Might be back or might not. And new ladies in the meantime may take their place. Who know's, it's a waiting game.
You want to partake, go right ahead. Don't let anything I said or anything someone I know did, stop you. But don't be naive and close-minded either.
I'm just a messenger, not a rat, and wouldn't even had written this without that naive / stupid comment. My take on this, again, is that what I did was a courtesy to those uninformed, to be a little helpful, but you can believe what you want as always.
