AMP risk is stays at the store, Agency risk can follow you home.
[QUOTE=Rebccu;7501853]Agencies are usually in a private, upscale residence. It usually requires identity verification and is not a "walk-in" business, like an AMP.
AMPs are risky for both client and provider, as they are an easy target. There is usually some transactional interaction that trips up the providers and patrons.
The security surveillance in AMPs usually works against them, as it provides usable evidence.
Not so, in an Agency. For all anyone knows, you're going to your Book Club or Jelly of The Month appointment.
Agencies that communicate over encrypted apps also add another layer of security.[/QUOTE]He knows what agencies are given [URL=https://www.usasexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?7883-Escort-Reports&p=6531482&viewfull=1#post6531482]his post history[/URL]. He just didn't consider what we have as an agency that's all. Could be any number of reasons like assuming fake pictures or expecting other women besides Asians, but I'll leave that to him to explain if he wishes. But this is not really why I moved my reply here.
It's here because I've seen this "agency is superior and can do no wrong" mindset around. And as usual I'll give the reminder about "safety", Boston wasn't that long ago. [URL=https://www.usasexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?4168-Massage-Parlor-Reports&p=7366903&viewfull=1#post7366903]It's a key point in a past post I made.[/URL] But we don't want to always rely on one incident.
So since the time of that post, there's been 0 raids on the agencies in Nashville, and 4 raids on (Royal, Floral, A, and Four Seasons). Now ask yourself if you've ever heard any guy getting nabbed in those? However, also since the time of that post, we have 007 in Minnesota along with a still developing situation in Seattle and Dallas. But I want to focus the 007 one because I was linked to the complaint there and it's exactly the reality check that I'm talking about. Because of rules I'm going to do like someone else and just say the name of the relevant article that can be googled "Complaint shows how Bloomington prostitution ring operated", but I'm taking my quotes from the complaint itself.
This isn't 2023. It's 2024-2025. And it was the state themselves, not the fed this time.
"Officers learned that (redacted)'s "girlfriend" had been at the apartment with several other adult Asian women, and that the apartment management was able to access video from the call entry box to the apartment. Officers learned from apartment management that different men would show up at the apartment and stay for 30-60 minutes, and that the apartment would be buzzed every 30-60 minutes throughout the week and week-ends. Law enforcement were [B]provided with at least 5 different men's photos[/B] that accessed that apartment in question during a particular time. ".
"Officers observed that for at least one woman, there was a hyperlink to a well-known commercial sex worker review website which showed that the woman had 10 reviews since April 2025 and clear commercial sex acts for money were among the reviews. ".
"In November 2024, officers were notified about a suspected commercial sex customer that had just entered the apartment. After conducting surveillance and seeing the male later exit the apartment building, officers stopped the male customer and spoke with him. He confirmed that he had been at the apartment for a sex for money transaction. The male provided detailed information to officers about the transaction, the apartment and how he booked the transaction. ".
"In late May / early June of 2025, officers booked an appointment for commercial sex using the information learned throughout the investigation. A date for sex with a woman listed on the site was made and an agreement to pay $400 in exchange for an hour of time with the woman was discussed. Officers were provided the location of the apartment building on (redacted). ".
And I'll stop there for a bit. Now no guy got charged, except maybe that guy that admitted to it. But the whole "I'm just there for anything" only holds up if you and the agency themselves don't text the amounts and you agree to it in any form. I don't know what yours does, and don't really care. But just because mine doesn't with me, doesn't mean they won't be careless with someone else. TER is not proof but clearly listed as another part of probable cause for the warrant. I'm quite confident that everything that played out in this report could equally happen here if they were so inclined. They just have not been. Oh and bear in mind, even the apartment itself rolled over.
But there was no advance warning. That guy got stopped 6 months before they took action. He probably could have even given a heads up to folks. And maybe he did I'm not digging that deep but probably not because I doubt a lawyer would have suggested that was a smart idea if he wanted to stay out of real trouble. Same story for the girls that got interviewed months before.
Oh and this is truly a unique line I didn't get from Boston.
"Defendant (redacted 1) stated that he had [B]first been a customer[/B] of commercial sex in 2022 and that Defendant (redacted 2) had then asked him to drop off a female at the airport for money. Defendant (redacted 1) continued to drive women for the operation since 2022 and now gets paid anywhere from $30-$100 to drop off and pick up women at MSP. ".
This dude was one of "us". Not necessarily a poster but at the very least he was someone who I guess liked a girl a little too much and got into the business with her.
This is not a "don't go to agency" post. I literally refreshed before submitting this and saw a new girl is at one of my places LOL. I just reject the narrative trying to treat it as a secret impenetrable club. It's easy to break by LEO if they want.
