This is what happens when the D1
k rules the head.
Narrating the incident in short to alert mongers from falling into online traps.
Was alone this Sunday and was desperate to get some action. Since could i could not finalise with the contacts I hadas they were asking 10k+, I resorted to try out a few contacts I had picked up from Locanto ads which are always supposed to b dicey. WhatsApped a number and got a response and things worked out pretty fast. Went to the agreed place to pick up the girl only to find myself accosted and roughed up by 5-6 guys (all early 20s) accusing me of messaging one of the guys sister in full public view. I kept my cool and did realise that this is planned trap to strip off any cash and valuables I am carrying and managed to strike peace by offering them cash. Bastards were not happy with the amount I was carrying on myself (5k) and asked me to swipe the debit card and meanwhile some policemen came and they bastards ran away. But then those 2 thullas got after my case asking me what the scene was and took me to the nearest chowki. They had got a whiff of something fishy as they had checked my phone and also found condoms in my pocket...somehow managed to get rid of them by stuffing them with 3k. I won't b surprised if they were also hand in glove with those bastards on the road.
Moral of the story - stay away from trouble and don't fall for things easily. I had got enough clues about the whole deal being fishy but yet went ahead to get fucked up. It could have been worse but somehow managed to control the damage.
Where I screwed up;
A) During the chat on whatsapp I insisted on video call to confirm the girl which she declined but she agreed to a voice call with me. (I thought I m being smart to verify by not only going through by pics but those buggers had fixed up that lady)
B) The girl insisted on seeing my pic. (Not all ladies in this business do that as all they want to see is the colour of the money. She wanted to make sure that those buggers can identify me when I reach the spot. Fortunately I shared a pic with face hidden)
C) The girl asked for my facebook id ( quite strange and a red flag - this was possibly to blackmail me by establishing my identity. Fortunately I did not fall for it and I used a mongering sim and a fake name all throughout.... Even at the police chowki)
D) The girl offered 2hr 2 shots in 5k with place and the pics were too good...and definitely worth 8-10k. I caved in assuming I am getting a great feal....a fatal error. I fell for the pics.
Despite these red flags I went ahead and learnt a lesson. However a few things that saved me and helped me avoid a complete screw up.
A) Used a mongering sim. Ensured that it's not on true caller. Never used my real name
B) Did not give the Facebook id or any other info to compromise my identity
C)Carried only the cash required to pay (5k + 200 bucks for auto). Else those bastered would have gypped me of a grand sum
D) carried no Id cards and ATM / credit cards with me. The only ATM card I had with me had 4k balance which helped me to stuff the cops to get rid of them as the cash had already gone.
E) Stayed calm after those 5-6 bastards accosted me in full public view and created a scene. Being alone and not physically intimidating, I could have been bashed up quite badly if I would have countered or resisted. I kept my cool and realised that these guys want money and managed to get all of them to the roadside to sort out the matter
F) Using the second space feature on my phone saved me big time. I use the secret second space on my phone for all this stuff and it keeps my mongering activities restricted to the secret hidden second space. The guys wanted to check my phone to blackmail me by threatening to call my wife and may be take the phone itself. But I was carrying a cheap old phone in which they had no interest and managed to not let them check my phone. Even if they would have I would have used the second space password where they could not have found any of my real social circle contact and information. I did this to the policemen who only checked my mongering profile and found a lot of stuff there but nothing to compromise my identity.
D) parked my car away from the meeting spot. Kept my driving licence, etc in the car and went to the place on foot. Those guys would be keeping a watch and could have got access to my car and registeration number.
I took some of these precautions as a standard approach and being a bit suspect about the deal. Despite being suspect, I still went ahead because the D1¢k ruled the head. I would urge everyone of you to not ignore the red flags and let the D1¢k take you for a royal ride which you may never relish.
Stay safe!
