Questions on ebay or Amazon cards
I have recently had request to bring half the donation in gift cards and half in cash. I believe this to be a scam but don't know how. They say hand them over after service. Any advice? Should I just ignore them?
New Hampshire's new law effective January 1, 2026
[URL]https://www.wmur.com/article/law-penalties-human-trafficking-new-hampshire-8625/65618811[/URL]
"New law imposes stricter penalties for those buying sex in New Hampshire".
"Historically, the victims of the sex trade have faced the worst penalties when caught in prostitution acts. But now, the buyers, who create the demand, will be the focus of the penalties. Those caught buying sex in New Hampshire will face a more serious misdemeanor and be fined $500 when the law takes effect on Jan. 1" (2026).
Police outside New Hampshire massage spa questioning previous customer
The spa's location was remote. Nothing else nearby was open. It was after dark. There was only 1 car parked outside the spa when I arrived. When I left a police car with bright flashing lights was stopped behind that car. The driver of the car, a man, was standing next to his car talking with police when I left. I don't know what happened, but since the New Hampshire Attorney General recently announced 40% of all massage businesses in New Hampshire have been closed, presumably with more to come, because of their involvement with human trafficking, and because the State Attorney General says the focus in the future will be on arresting massage spa customers, since it is customers who keep human sex trafficking going by patronizing such businesses, caution is advised. Think through what your answers will be if police interrogate you as you leave a massage parlor. Don't admit to having paid for sexual contact. Exercise your right to remain silent.
Don't negotiate tips with masseuses. If they insist, continue to refuse and leave without the happy ending (or more) you hoped for when you entered the spa.
Sexual contact is illegal only if you agree to pay for sexual contact. If you pay only for a massage, any sexual activity between you and the masseuse is sex between consenting adults, which is legal.
If a masseuse has sexual contact with you without negotiating a fee for sexual contact, give her a generous tip for her massage. If she refuses to have sexual contact because you refuse to refuse to put yourself in violation of state law criminalizing sexual contact for a fee, tip her anyway, but only as you leave so there is no doubt you are not paying for sexual contact. If enough of us do that, masseuses might stop insisting on an explicit agreement of payment for sexual contact with customers.
Ask masseuses questions to be certain she's working only because she needs the money -- and not because she was or is forced (other than by need to earn a living). I've been doing that and haven't met even 1 masseuse who says she was forced or "trafficked". All say nobody forced them to be sex workers and that they do it only because they need the money. Many are single moms struggling to support children. The human trafficking or sex trafficking narrative from all I can see is BS, probably because on some level everybody realizes there is nothing wrong, morally, about sex between consenting adults, even if it is paid for. On the other hand, "trafficking" or force is obviously wrong, so authoritarian moralists insist on conflating sex work with "trafficking" when they are not the same.
