Practice massage therapy without a license.
Another provider at an apartment complex on Glenwood charged yesterday. Don't know if she was UTR, AAMP out of the Apt or if that is just where they caught up with her and she works at a store. The crack down continues.
Asian human trafficking where?
[QUOTE=Purple45;3630351]Sure, because being a victim gives you immediate support and possible permanent legal resident status. LE wants the individuals who are organizing and transporting and not the workers. They want to make examples out of the "ring leader (s)" to discourage others from starting the same kind of operation.[/QUOTE]
Let me just say off the bat I have plenty of pussy to draw from my comments are about what is right and what is wrong based on respect.
The subject and headlines that is being highlighted as the problem in these complaints HERE is human trafficking with a side bar of HE and no massage license. But the hook line and SHOCK VALUE is human trafficking which is what I have a disagreement with. Let's see there are 50 States I think in the USA and God knows how many Cities in each State it's a lot. And in each City there are let's call it a few AMP's ok I agree they are everywhere. And in all theses States and all these Cities there is let's call it a shit load (southern unit of measurement) of Asian employees. Now I'm no mathematician but that's ALOT of Asian ladies. I do a lot of traveling so I read a lot of reviews on other boards. And I'll read post on other boards just for reading purposes or if it's related to a picture posted that looks interesting. Sometimes there are articles about stores getting busted and they are always busted for offering HE or somebody complained about the store. I have never read an article about human trafficking, one may exist I just haven't seen it. So where I'm confused is with this many States this many hundreds and hundreds of cities and thousands of girls. RTP and Knightdale NC is the center of the USA for human trafficking and not one girl has been interviewed by a tv station with a disguised voice. All we have to show for this fine investigative work between LE and the NC Massage Board, case cracking, major crack down on Human Trafficking is some scared 55 year old Chinese woman sitting in Wake County jail and a few shit heads here patting themselves on the back. Where's Anderson Cooper? Where's 60 minutes? Come on Wake County come on Massage Board take the national credit you have worked so hard for. We appear to be the only spot in America that is complaining. They just shut down 2 pussy joints in Orlando that was doing you would not believe how much business and not one word about human trafficking was mentioned that's because that was not the reason they shut them down. Contrary to my handle name Im not a liberal Hippie but I do have common sense and mama taught me you cant bull shit a bull shitter. I just have a problem when someone with authority crushes anyone that is busting their ass 12 / 14 hours a day working that they gambled their own money to do business that is supplying a service that is not hurting the customer or employees. As I said before part of this crushing process is not allowing them to obtain documentation needed for the business. So why do these Asians here have this target on their back? Why this State espcially this area? Theres some bad people running the show in downtown Raleigh, its a good ol boy network thing Ive seen it before. Question is when they kill off the Asian Massage business who next will have the target on their back? Maybe they wont like your kind opening a bar or restaurant near the shiny new development they just spent millions on maybe you don fit their moral or other requirements. Im telling you this runs deeper than a guy getting a HJ. If loop holes like the TOEFL requirement for Asians can be established loop holes can be established that set unobtainable requirements for permits or qualifications to set up a business or blend with the accepted crowd. I better stop here starting to drift into politics. Knightdale should have a parade for solving the nations human trafficking crisis. Its gotta be true Martha and I saw it on WRAL news.
Guys need to learn to STFU
Regarding recent Knightdale bust, I hope this wasn't anyone here.
"Police sent confidential informants into both locations on Oct. 20, and interviewed a man as he left another nearby massage parlor. All three reported being offered sex acts in exchange for money. ".
You are not obligated to say anything to the police and if you do, you could talk yourself into trouble. The man interviewed needs to learn to STFU!
No Asian Human Trafficking around Raleigh-Durham

These people are government officials and law enforcement so when the media reports a story to the public it must be true. That's the problem because it's not true but what can you do when even the media seems to be complacent with not asking the right questions or investigating on their own. Sure an illegal massage parlor would be one that's not properly license however when you have a massage board that doesn't want to give Asians their license then what are people to do? The only people that seem to care are the good customers who visit the AMPs for the quality of the massage and others who know these ladies personally. Everybody is being force-fed with what the NC massage board puts out by their puppet lawyer team and because they are a government agency then law enforcement just follows the wishes of those in power. Unfortunately there's really nothing that can be done legally but I can think of a whole lot of things that would fall into the grey area of a protest resistance movement that would make some people's lives very uncomfortable.
Who are some of the better providers?
If anyone would be willing to trade some info on providers, I'd really appreciate it. I can tell why'all about the Greensboro, Winston, and High Point area, but I have yet to come out to Raleigh-Durham. I'm not really interested in AMPs, I'm all about the independent provider. If anyone could PM me some info, provide price, what's on the table, and how the overall experience was, I'd be more than happy to give you some details about the aforementioned areas. Horror stories are appreciated too, I appreciate a good heads up on who to avoid just as much as I do the positive reports. Thanks fellas.
Massage Envy getting Happy
[QUOTE=Rdudreaming;3634706][URL]https://www.cbsnews.com/news/massage-envy-sexual-assault-allegations/[/URL][/QUOTE]Can't resist the chance to comment.
Will the Massage Board scrutinize them as extensive as the AMP's?
Will this be an extended discussion at the next Massage Board Meeting or just a brief we are looking into the matter.
The NORTH CAROLINA Massage Board had this happen to the ones they are supporting (Envy) while ripping their competition.
Who's dropping the ball here? 1. Envy folks are American 2. They speak fluent English 3. All have been issued license by the NCMB 3. No suspected human trafficking 4. All Envy employees go through a background check. Either the Massage Board along with their legal counsel and recent laws passed are not doing their job OR let's face it Massage is an adult business. Adults take off their clothes and get touched. So there is the "potential" someone will try to touch someone or someone will ask to be touched. Right or wrong this is human nature. Setting up ridiculous language standards that Asians can't achieve or claiming human trafficking will not change this human nature. Having shiny polished franchise stores with an all American staff will not change this human nature. The Massage Boards responsibility is to issue massage license to those that have graduated from a board approved school that has provided all documentation. Sure if there are complaints do an internal investigation and decide if LE needs to be notified. But most important leave any laws being broken to LE. And no Racial profiling! But we know how this blip in the news will go.
Maybe we need a different thread?
I half think we need a thread for the politics / unfairness / how the massage board works / news stories. That's all we've seen on this forum for quite some time. I realize the hey day is over for now so maybe it's just that there isn't anything out there worth reporting other than the shop to the north. If there happened to be some decent "intel" it would take someone forever to sort through all the other mess just to find a decent place to have a dream. I used to love being able to pull up the forum while I was out and about and see what the places nearby from JJs list were all about.
Just a suggestion. Not trying to be an ass.
Yes Purple45 no updated List
Updating the list has become a problem for me. I've seen too many good people get hurt by the discrimination shown to the Asians in this area. Several lives have been ruined for no good reason except politics. They had nothing to do with Human Traffing which of course is evil. I've just stopped helping those who would hurt more innocent people who are just trying to survive.
[QUOTE=Purple45;3639230]In the past we all talked about an ATF at Studio in Cary, Westgate in Raleigh, ATSU in Cary, Holiday in Morrisville and Eden in Cary. A review would go up on a particular girl and then that AMP was slammed with business while everyone enjoyed the eye candy and / or services. Those days are the past and it's unfortunate but its the current reality. The present situation is that members don't want to post about a new younger girl or new attractive girl because the pressure is on the remaining AMPs that are open. Look around and count the number of AMPs that are now closed that were open just two years ago. Almost all the favorite ones are now closed. This current reality is not favorable to the girls, the owners or the customer. Personally I feel that some information in a post helps those who want to close an AMP more than it helps those who are looking for something fresh and new. In today's climate is it worth the risk? Do you want that girl's face on the evening news in 2 months or do you want to safeguard her livelihood and enjoy your massage until she decides to leave on her own? By all counts everyone is correct that this board is about finding girls and services, but the A2 doesn't care about local politics or AMPs closing because that is just collateral damage and life goes on. This website makes money from advertisers based on membership numbers for the owner and nothing else matters. Well, IMO we live here and we have to suffer through the drought of no available talent so we have to be smart or we will lose what little is left. I can't speak for JJ and his incredible list but I believe there is a reason why it hasn't been updated in long time. Yes, there is still one or two FS AMPs who operate outside of Wake County but gone is the one girl at most AMPs who really stood out and made your appointment extra special.
CLOSED = Holiday, Eden, ATSU (Cary & Garner), Westgate, YUCCA Foot, SuperRelax (Capital), Lotus, Eastern Spa, Touch of Asia and several others![/QUOTE]
If this story was all real
If this is a real Human Trafficking story how come we have not heard the interviews and stories after they shut down the AMP and free all the women that are being held against their will? All we see is the mug shot for the arrest of giving a message without a license. Shouldn't there be at least one story of a woman being reunited with her family and telling us about her struggles, how mean and evil her captors were, how she was not able to leave and how she had no communication with the outside world? It makes me wonder.
