Signs that your female "friend" might intend to traffic you

Traffickers like targets who seem vulnerable. If this woman chats warmly about your disadvantages but then turns up her nose at the discovery that, lo and behold, you’re well-adjusted, independent-minded, and surrounded by people who love you… run for the hills.

People who are attracted to vulnerability (real or perceived) are predators.

I cannot tell you how many people - mostly men looking for an easy-to-control doormat bangmaid - have targeted me thinking I was vulnerable and then got BIG MAD when they realized I wasn't.

The sheer anger in their eyes when they learned I was close with my family, that I had friends and a community they couldn't isolate me from, that I had self-esteem and didn't react to negging ... you'd think I just insulted them.

I’ve been targeted by female traffickers before. They prey on women/girls who seem vulnerable. It’s horrible

All of this is so very true and people don't talk about grown women getting targeted enough. My "friend" once tried to sell me to a pimp and ran with all my shit.

I'm thankful that the pimp had a heart and dropped me off at the nearest public transit station with a ticket home but that experience fucked me up bad.

Disturbing story. I had never thought about female traffickers, but now that I look back, I believe one of my friends was targeted by such a trafficker. Like this author, my friend was emotionally vulnerable and isolated. The trafficker pretended to be her confidante, wined and dined her, listened to her complain about her ex, then sprang on her the fact that she (the trafficker) was in a sugar baby relationship with a 70+ year old man and offered to set my friend up with an 80 year old! Yup, just like that. The pitch was that this guy had money and would probably kick the bucket soon anyway. Naturally, my friend recoiled in disgust, and the trafficker disappeared.

Mods, this article needs to be pinned — very important!

I think my niece might have been targeted. She’s in high school and lives with us. She has a troubled past due to her parents issues and is very vulnerable. She found a friend at school and the friends mother immediately became overly friendly with my niece. She gives her daughter edibles, the daughters brother raped her and still lives in the home. They apparently offered to let my niece come live with them when they move out of state. The mother was always wanting “girl time” with my niece and bought her panties from Victoria’s Secret. The whole family struck me as creepy so I put a stop to the friendship over a boundary violation. I actually thought the woman might be trafficking her daughter and had her sights on my niece

Wow, this deserves a FemaleDepravity tag. I read this article and remembered the Ghislaine Maxwell case, possibly one of the worst people alive. I hope she rots in jail.

ETA: This story has shaken me and made me remember some things. It's not trafficking, but, I do have memories of so-called female friends trying to push me onto some undesirable guy, so that they could ingratiate themselves in the undesirable guy's friend group (maybe because he had more attractive/famous male friends).

I was sitting at a bar and the guy moved to very close to me, intentionally so that I could feel his erection on my leg (I was 18 at the time). I didn't know how to act at the time.. he did it in public and my friends were sitting nearby. The "friends" put me in harm's way.

I knew a woman like this too. She was a Russian hairdresser at a salon I regularly went to and seemed super sweet and nice. I invited her to my birthday party and we became friends, and she seemed to get along with all my friends. However, as I got to know her more, I realized that she was "dating" or "seeing" literally 20+ men which raised my suspicions. She was always on a date with some guy at a party and every time it was always a different guy.

At this point, she started dating one of my guy friends who worked in animation and who was finally well off, but noticed that she was always trying to flirt with other men and pick up other men every time we met up for drinks.

On social media, she was always trying to post pics of the two of us together as if we were best friends which always got a ton of likes from all these married men who were the majority of her followers and she kept asking me to hang out with her and some of these "men" at different parties as they saw my pic and wanted to meet me.

I got bad vibes from her, and eventually ghosted her and unfriended her and also changed my hair salon.

LESSON: never invite your Russian hairdresser to your birthday party

Listen to your gut ladies. If they seem too nice too soon, red flag. They can literally disguise themselves as new potential friends of yours.

-Offering a job overseas with expenses paid and with no formal or verifyable contract

Had this happen.

Offer to set me up w people in our field bc I was unemployed. Kept wanting me to send her my picture and resume. Kept talking about us dating successful men and having a good time with that, when I wasn't interested in that.

Looked her up online and discovered her credentials online were not what she was claiming to be. Wig was a different color too.

I sent the picture she sent me of herself to someone I trust and told em what I encountered.

May be some other kind of con. I don't really know. She did land a mark, unfortunately.

We have something new to worry about everyday.

I can't read it now but guess one of the warning is not to be friend with drugs addicts they'd sell their mom for a fix

For all the anti cop stuff I see on fds look how one of the vetting techniques/ safety measures involved the police…. Traffickers are afraid of the police generally…. Because it’s the only fight against them… please be mindful of your anti police stances it comes at a huge cost no matter how problematic police are they are better than gangs/ sex traffickers.
