        A man claiming to be police called me just now. He called me by my name, and said that I had paid african girls for sex, they have full evidence, footage etc. I said i just chat with them from dating sites. He said he is gonna transfer this case file to my nearest police station where i should go with my parents to deliver a statement. I think this is a legit call, and I do paid couple of african girls for sex long back when i was in bangalore. But i have stopped everything like that for a long time as well. Whatever he said about this issue is almost correct. So this is a legit policeman, he asked me to send money to a number if i want to clear eveything now. I said i have very low salary, then he immedietely cut the call.

        I do agree i had paid for sex but the girls gave consent and none were minor. But still is this gonna be an issue for me. It will be my end if the nearby police station calls me with my parents for sexual offense. I’m really scared and can i do anything about this.

          This is a scam call. Most likely the prostitutes you paid and their associates are trying to get money from you.

                No need to “lawyer up” , anyone can tell you it’s a scam.

                    You are possibly correct my bad. Seeing the op insist throughout the thread that they have actual info about him that would be hard to get otherwise made me just advise that in caution.

                        They have actual info , that’s the reason they are trying to scam call him , maybe those African girls snitched or something..

                        If Police call you , they clearly mention their name and whom to meet , what time to meet at Police station

                        This is a scam. The caller is in connivance with the girl you slept with. No policeman will ask for a bribe through UPI/account which can be linked to them. They deal in cash only. Block and move on. Don’t go to the station and snitch on yourself bruh.

                          He is scammer

                          Likely gang member of girl you sought services.

                          Do not pay any money. Tell him to proceed with case

                            Not a lawyer

                            Seems like the police caught the call girls and in the history your name came up.

                            So now they are trying to earn extra amount. Put pressure on the people involved and then get money.

                            Easy money.

                              If you are not an underage then there’s no need to involve parents and usually they won’t call you if there’s such report they will come to your house to take you in remand so that they can question you … contact your nearest police station through your friend and check if something going on

                                  Unless you believe this is a scam. No one can help you. You seem to be hell bent saying thus is legit. Even if this is legit he can’t book you.

                                    Chill OP. This is someone you have confided in like a friend, cousin or someone or else its the girls.
                                    Don’t break your head so much and stop being paranoid. If this has happened years ago forget abt it.
                                    You have no idea to what extent a scam can go. If you pay once you are done they will never stop blackmailing.
                                    You really think cops have this much time to go after you for this??
                                    This is just some money extortion racket

                                      Can be scammers too. They do a lot of homework before scamming peps like you. Don’t worry. Next time when he calls, say that you’re recording this call and ask for his designation and reporting PS.

                                      If he stumbles or shows resistance, there are high probable chances that, he’s scamming you.

                                            If it’s not your main number I would suggest just turn it off for a few days. Most likely this is a scam. Paying for sex to consenting adults is not a crime. It is possible that the person you spoke to is a policeman but even so they are probably just trying to male money off of you.

                                            Also, even if the girls are illegally here or whatever that’s not on you.

                                                No need to afraid and no need to bring your parents to the Police Station even if they summon you.

                                                You haven’t committed any crime, prostitution is legal in India. Even if this person contacts you again, ask them about his profile first.

                                                A cop can’t forward a case to your nearest police station just because they want it. They’ll only summon you to the Bangalore police station if necessary.

                                                Even if the girls are illegal immigrants or have been trafficked here, it’s their job to tackle this problem not yours. It’s not your job to run a background check before f*cking a prostitute

                                                  If you’re above the legal age limit, the police wouldn’t ask you to go to the police station with your legal guardians. You are solely responsible for your actions as an adult. I reckon since they asked this, it’s most probably a scammer.

                                                  Even if they are legit, and if you’ve paid in cash, those texts can’t really implicate you. Everything’s really circumstantial at best. They won’t be able to prove you’ve availed those services anyway. Take it easy.

                                                    Parents ? How old are you ? Am damn sure a major doesn’t need parents to accompany them to a PS. Sounds like a scam anyway. The girls probably gave the details to this scammer. No police would ask money over phone. They would call you at the PS and then ask money.

                                                      Not a lawyer, but if you are an adult and they were adults, why should your parents go to a station if this is even a crime somehow?

                                                      I think sex work was legalized sometime ago. It just sounds like a scam, but if you are sure just lawyer up and if you have to visit a station don’t take your parents, makes no sense to involve them.

                                                            This is a very common scam call. Don’t give into it.

                                                            The girl may have quickly glanced through your personal ID card. If you go to a hotel they ask for your adhaar card. They may have been in cahoots with the hotel as well. In today’s age, it’s very hard to hide a identity and there may be various sources of leaks.

                                                            Just moveon. There are many other who have met the African girl. To police, the person of interest is the pimp.

                                                              Until you have actual cops at your doorstep, relax. After that, you just need a half decent lawyer. Murder, rape etc cases don’t get resolved for years, in the scheme of things you haven’t done any real harm. The justice system in India works better than anywhere else in the world if you are not that poor. Cops just want to milk you for some money. Points to consider, for your sake, I hope you paid in cash and not some bank transfer lol and pray that there are not minors.

Assume he is not, until you’re dead sure he is indeed a police guy. Plus even if he is, prost. isn’t illegal, pimping is. You got nothing to worry about.

Because, first, paying money for sex is not a criminal offence per se. Secondly, he would threaten you but will not pursue it legally because his connection with the girls will be out and it is not in his interest. Thirdly, cases like this doesn’t hold up in court.

                                                                        Dont ever pay money, The greed will never end.

They are trying to get money out of you using the Parents card. I mean even if you don’t pay them, I doubt they would bother enough to go after you with an actual case. It would be a hassle for corrupt cops. I mean even if they do, there’s no case here unless you did something “really bad”. Prostitution by itself is not a crime in India.

                                                                          But most likely, these are scammers and not cops at all.

                                                                          And even if you think let’s take a chance and pay them and end it, they will keep asking for more money. So the best is to ignore and move on. They won’t do shit.

                                                                            Contact an actual lawyer, that you are being blackmailed, say all this to the lawyer in person. You might be advised to go to a police station, not to surrender, but to register digital crime, extortion, etc FIRs.

                                                                            Guys in the comments might have missed this guy’s real concern. He lives with his parents, and these people know his past with prostitutes and his current phone number. He is afraid that his parents and neighbors will find out.

                                                                            Go to a lawyer and discuss this in office. Notice how many comments are from lawyers and how many are from non-lawyers. They can’t give you advice without actual details.
