Beware of Social Networking Ads!
A couple of months back there was an interesting article in ‘The Week’, which talked about how the number of Red Light Areas have gone down, and how the number of sex workers are on the rise. Sex workers are no more people who are illiterate or people who are pushed & forced into flesh trade. These days high profile women working for BPOs, IT companies, bored housewives, and even college students get into prostitution out of curiosity, interest or for some effortless quick monies to maintain their lifestyle.
There are middlemen in most business, and these businesses have them too. They are called Social Networking Agents/Companies. They put up their ads in major newspapers – like The Times of India, or the Hindu, and frame the content in such a way that only the real seekers understand it. (You might have seen White Mischief Holidays - ‘I am in the mood of mischief’ on the TV while watching World Cup 2007, let me know what that ad actually mean).
These middlemen have contacts with sexually active women, and will get you in touch with them – of course for a fee. This is a multimillion business in India now apart from porn CDs and sex toys.
One of my friends spotted an ad in the Times of India, which advertised themselves as Social Networking Agents. They had given their phone number too. My friend called the guy to enquire about the procedure, and he said, “you need to transfer Rs 2500 into my ICICI account, and once I receive the money, I will mail you some 10 phone numbers of women (married or unmarried) who are looking out for some wild sex. Then it will be your headache to contact them, and get it done”. This Rs 2500 was yearly fees for 10 mail IDs and phone numbers for a year. Quite a good deal, said my friend.
Though the deal was mouth watering my friend was a bit sceptical to go ahead. What if the guy is a fraud? He called him to say, he will deposit only Rs 1500, and in turn he has to forward 5 phone numbers as a sample. This was just to find the genuineness of the agent. The agent said it was fine, and mailed my friend his ICICI account.
My friend transferred Rs 1500 into the agents account a couple of weeks back, and there is complete silence from the other end till date. The agent doesn’t pick up his phone.
This indeed is a nice business idea. Advertise as a social networking agent in any of the top newspapers, and you at least will get 100 calls, 50 of them would want to go for the service, even if Rs 1000 is deposited by each guy, the agent can make 50,000 in a day! And who will have the guts to file a legal case against an agent who promised to give phone numbers of 10 sexually active women in India?!!!!
