Potential scam SP Bri working for a police sting

adriancruz · March 1, 2023

I can't tell anymore if this is a scam or not. It is the 2nd time I stupidly fell for this. Either way, please avoid the SP Bri. She was working from the Holiday Inn East this week: https://www.leolist.cc/personals/female-escorts/south-eastern-ontario/ottawa_ukrainiandreamwest_end_carling_417bubble_butt-6109986?source=list

1st time: Indicated in ad she had screening process. I got to the room, she was fully clothed (street clothes) and asked for ID. The idiot I was, I gave her my driver's license. She took a photo of it and said she would delete it before I left. She took the money from me and then asked me if I was aware of the laws in Ontario related to solicitation. She said that I would be arrested and I could leave however it didn't matter as the police would have my information anyway. She said she is a consultant for them and if I pay her consultant fee she would let me go without calling it in. She had said that the police weren't expecting her call in 10 minutes for an update. I ended up paying her a large amount via money transfer. She showed me that she deleted the ID on her phone and as I left there was a guy in the hallway (was there before). He asked if I paid her and I said yes. He said he didn't and he was waiting for the police to show.

2nd time: same things as first time. Different number, photos, etc. however didn't ask for my ID. This time after telling me she was working with the police, she blocked the door to prevent me from leaving. She said the same deal would apply if I wanted her to not call the officers waiting. This time as I walked into and out of the Holiday Inn East, there seemed to be suspicious looking guys in the lobby staring at me as I entered and exited the elevator. Also there was a car that looked like an unmarked cop car with the engine running in the back of the parking lot. So I'm wonder if it really is a scam or legit.

I can say with 99,9% certainty, this was NOT a police sting.

First, solicitation requires you to directly ask for sexual services. If you haven't asked anything specific by txt/email or in person, she got nothing on you.

Second, If this would have been a sting operation, everything would have been recorded and the police would have been just outside the room. This was a clear blackmail scam.

And finally, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
