Prostitution Stings Throughout Massachusetts

[QUOTE=Demmacssawi;6267972]This is a well known scam. Ignore it. I called my lawyer when I got a call just like this. I too was freaked out. My caller ID even listed the correct phone number of the local FBI. My lawyer had a good laugh when I told him the story (my lawyer knows that I have mongered in the past). He said that the FBI doesn't call up Johns when they investigate trafficking or underage prostitution. They simply show up at your house, usually before 6 am.[/QUOTE]So what was the scammer looking for. Just busting balls does not make sense. Figure they would want money. About a year or two before covid. Ya that's how I track time now. I missed a call on my own non monger phone. I recognized the number as my local PD business line. I called it and asked if they were trying to reach me. They said no, we exchanged some quick chat and common greetings and that was that. I am seeing more and more fake numbers or should I call them counterfeit numbers now than ever before.

There was a major prostitution ring bust in Massachusetts. Although only brothel management is being prosecuted they are still questioning the clients. Most of the guys were foolish enough to use credit cards. Using a credit to see a working girl is dumb. This proves embarrassing can prove embarrassing to you. It always much better to pay with cash.

It's always good to see what law enforcement is doing. Sounds like a pretty high end operation. Too bad the details were not given in the press posting, I. E. Websites they advertised on, what rate for services, etc.

I think basic full service was 350 so not that high end. The verification process was the key, though guys said they crossed out vital info on there I'd they still sent in there photos. One Spa insisted I only call in so they could keep a record on the type of girl I like. That was the last time I went to that spa. Ya all the shops have cameras but to send over I'd is stupid. The government makes Id, people in government have license plates that can be traced. Now a lot of guys are sweating it out that they are in a database on a cops lap top.

Two things I wanted to add here.

1. Cameras are everywhere; every massage shop has at least one camera. The thing about video is it must be recorded to be useful later. Even low resolution takes up a lot of space very quickly. I have been roped into helping some massage shops with their IT problems. Most shops only have a live feed running or at most 48 hours of video stored. The only reason they do this is so the boss can watch the girls, and so the girls can see outside the shop to see who is there without opening the door. The point is you don't need to worry about a shop's cameras. In most cases, the video is lost within a week for any camera. Only large corporations and other large businesses care enough to keep the video any longer than that.

2. There is a group of Latina providers that, if you don't go visit them after messaging them, they will send you threatening and graphic messages claiming to be from a cartel. You block and ignore them. Another group, maybe the same group, will call the phone number you messaged from, claiming to be the police (or similar). The phone number will be from the police, but it isn't actually them. These people have learned what telemarketers have known for years. They figured out how to spoof numbers (aka make their number look like another number).

Anyone familiar with her in that part of Mass?

Cross posting from one of the Worcester boards:

Westborough Wellness (East Main St) LEO raid. Owner and manager arrested. No mongers reported arrested.

The report indicates that the surveillance / investigation started due to the heart attack death of a customer at the place last year.

I know it's nothing to joke about but I kinda laughed what I read this part of the article: "A detective who specializes in prostitution advertisements". Seems like a lot of us missed a career opportunity!

Stay safe, and happy hunting.

Although they didn't seem to make any arrests, They are definitely keeping an eye on the spas.
