Well i was tempted by this ad on locanto that offer sexual services ($100/90 mins), I decided to book an appointment thru WhatsApps to meet her.
When I reached there, I contacted her and she told me that I would need to make a payment to prevent any police for checking. She asked me to pay me thru razer gold which I thought was weird at first and i was expecting the cash payment instead.
I was naive to believe her “police-checking” story and fell for the it which i paid $100 to me. After the payment, she said someone will call me to verify that i am not with the police. After that, the guy that claimed to be the bodyguard contacted me and asked to pay a first-time protection fee deposit ($1200) to protect from anything happening to the girl.
They told me that the money will be returned after the whole thing. I found it was very suspicious and tried to drag the whole payment until i figured it out what was going on. After a while, both the girl and the guy keep pestering and calling me on why it taking so long.
I told them that i didn’t trust them and they started to threatening me with my family. After that, i just decided to block and reported on WhatsApp. I believe both of them are in the same room as i can hear another person talking which i assumed to be that guy.
I hope others did not fall prey to these scams and do not allow lust to consume you!
