Urgent! 🚨 please help?

[Novastarjessa]

I connected with a guy named Chase Rogers through Facebook. He asked for my number and we started to talk. He wanted to come see me and talk to me every day on the phone and we did but I backed off. We had deep conversations. I wish I hadn't broken communication. Chase Roger’s claimed to have a farm with horses. He often had to get off the phone to check on the horses. I heard the horses in the background. over a year saying he missed talking to me and wants to see me. Chase Rogers also deactivated his Facebook. But when he talk he said his name is Bradley and doesn't understand why I think his name is Chase. I paid for a background check with the phone number and it comes up registered to Chase Rogers. He told me we did talk before but it was him not Chase and Chase must have changed his number. "Bradley" said we talked before and it was him and not Chase but when we were talking I believed it was Chase. I asked why did you (Bradley) say you miss talking to me we must have talked then. Also, the communication between us is the same - his communication style is the same. “Chase Rogers” and “Bradley” give the same pick up lines that I’ve never gotten from other men. Like when answering the phone saying what’s cooking good looking! Both said that. I talked about the horses again and he seemed so confused and said who do you think this is, this is Bradley. You must have your men mixed up because you’re talking to so many men. He said Chase must have changed his number and Bradley got chases old number. This guy “Bradley” invited me to come see him but I said absolutely not, if you want to see me, you have to come to me and get your own separate hotel room and we can meet at a public place. He said he would. My mom said it sounds like sex trafficking and to report to police. Thoughts? Thanks! I am wondering the disconnect from his number being changed and me talking to Chase Roger’s but him changing number and this “Bradley” getting it. Their voices sound the same also.

Whoa girl, that's a really sketchy and concerning situation you've got going on there. It sounds like this "Chase Rogers" or "Bradley" guy is trying to pull some kind of scam or shady business, and I definitely agree with your mom that it could be related to sex trafficking.

The fact that the phone number is registered to Chase Rogers, but the guy is now saying his name is Bradley and that Chase must have changed his number, is a huge red flag. Plus, the consistent communication style and cheesy pickup lines are super suspicious.

I would not under any circumstances agree to meet up with this guy, even in a public place. That's way too risky. The smart move is to completely cut off contact and not engage with him anymore.

You did the right thing by not going to visit him and by insisting he has to come to you if he wants to meet up. But even that is super dangerous, so I really think you need to just stop talking to him altogether.

This could absolutely be a trafficking situation, so I agree with your mom that you should report it to the police. They'll be able to investigate further and hopefully shut down whatever shady operation this guy is running.

In the meantime, make sure you have good security measures in place - change your phone number if needed, block him on all platforms, and maybe even consider getting a home security system. You gotta protect yourself, girl.

This guy is clearly not being honest with you, and the whole situation just reeks of trouble. Better to be super cautious and shut it down completely than to take any risks. Your safety has to come first here.

Let me know if you need any other advice or support in dealing with this. I'm here for you, and I hope you're able to get this resolved quickly and safely. Hang in there!

Thank you! She said the same thing to not even meet him in a public place! I actually stopped talking to him when he wanted to come visit me two falls ago. He wanted to come see me around October of 2023. I talked with him and he just disappeared. He said he was in Maui, Hawaii helping with the fire situation that happened over there. So I blocked him. I was going through my blocked contacts recently and decided to un block him. He just randomly over a year later texts “I miss talking with you and I just got a new beach house in Hawaii!! You should come see me and we can do some traveling together” along with the cheesy pick up lines. Plus, he always answered the phone, “what’s cookin’ good lookin”. It’s the same guy. Plus he is totally gas lighting me making me doubt my sanity that I never talked to a chase Roger’s and doesn’t know why I thought he was Chase. He said the whole time he was actually talking to him (Bradley) and I thought he was chase Roger’s. So I screen shorted him the report of the phone number linked to chase Roger’s. He said like I said this chase Roger’s guy must have gotten his number changed and I got it. A missing puzzle piece. Sorry about my grammar error I am on my phone. He is blocked now. I should change my number. I do have big dogs with me (three) and I think I’ll get back into self defense lessons! BJJ and Muay Thai

Just walk away it is probably a scam at worst. Or a sad individual fucking around with your mind. Either way don't be gaslit walk away now. Block and cut off all contact. Or have fun with it and come up with your own persona and see if you can get a apple card out of it.

[SueShe]

I don't know if it is sex trafficking but it surely sounds very confusing. I would sever all contact at once because this guy has probably multiple identities that he uses with different girls online.

He has no longer control over the lies he spreads with each of those girls and you are probably just one victim among others. I would be very cautious though when he states that you could and should book your own room. That spells some kind of trouble as he may take advantage of your credulity. You may even be in trouble for some sexual intercourse that he may want to have with his victims.

Cut all ties and don't answer any calls or text.

[Novastarjessa]

Yeah he was real smooth and heavy with compliments. And it’s the same style between both “people”. So it’s same person or two working together. I don’t get it.

[Novastarjessa]

Like saying I believe in love at first sight you’re just so beautiful and yes of course we can get to know eachother first but I know I’ll fall in love with you because you’re just so beautiful. And he said he always had a thing for redheads. He claims he’s in Hawaii now. I said why do you went to come to me when there are hott girls there too, he said red heads are rare and especially beautiful ones like you and none here in Hawaii lol smooth talker

[SueShe]

Yes, sounds like one of those smooth talkers. I would not trust him to be honest and perhaps even try to spike your drink when you are not looking if you go to a bar.

[Novastarjessa]

Yeah definitely hasn’t built my trust lol

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You’re outside of the age range for trafficking so I wouldn’t worry about being targeted. As for the guy, if it feels shady then trust your gut and leave it alone.

[Novastarjessa]

I googled it and any age race or ethnicity is up for it and I also look a lot younger than my age

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I would be more worried that he’s married than doing something illegal

[Abbycado]

How about you just block him. Why even get involved in this nonsense?

[Novastarjessa]

He is blocked

[ChicoFromThe305]

Maybe it's the same guy he just changed his name or something

[Novastarjessa]

But why wouldn’t he just say that? I thought about going by my middle name so I can get that but not to lie to people

[ChicoFromThe305]

Have you not tried asking? Lol

Its not a bad thing to ask

[Novastarjessa]

I did!!! I asked in a nice way! I asked may I asked what made you want to change names? He said like I said before, I don’t know who this Chase guy is but it must have been his old phone number. He just denies if

[Novastarjessa]

I was going to send you a screen shot of what he said but I can’t

[ChicoFromThe305]

Man I hate people that are deceptive, sometimes it seems like they do it for no reason, the odds of him ever admitting he's the same guy are low cause no matter what he does now he will look like a liar, so what's your next move lol

[Novastarjessa]

I did actually! He just denied it said like I said before I don’t know who this Chase guy is. He even flirted and said I’m so sorry I wish my name is Chase because you’re just so beautiful 😂😂😂😂 smooth talker and weird he always answered the phone what’s cooking good looking “Chase” and “Bradley” maybe he had some bad things happen and wants to start fresh I don't know

[ChicoFromThe305]

And you said they smooth talk the same? Its definitely the same dude but I don't know what he imagined his end game to be like here, he's probably imagining a whole unrealistic scenario like he's expecting you to find out and go like "oh chase what a surprise, now swoop me off my feet handsome and let's gallop away to a castle and live happily ever after 🫡😌" the only thing I can imagine is that he changed his name and wants to be known as the new name so here acting like he was never called chase lol

[ChicoFromThe305]

He's*

[Novastarjessa]

Yeah it could be something like that or multiple personality disorder

[ChicoFromThe305]

Now that would be crazy ngl

[Surely]

I am confused!🤔. But when your spider senses are tingling. Follow your instincts!
Something is rotten. Be careful!

[Novastarjessa]

I am just more interested in finding out what’s going on than talking to him. I wonder if it is sex trafficking involved and I should report to police.

[Surely]

Depending upon the size of your local police force. They may not have the authority or manpower to follow up with your suspicions.
You could go directly to the Attorney General’s offices. Don’t be upset if they don’t act on your concerns.
I hope if it is sex trafficking that something gets done about it!

[Surely]

Attorney General of your state.

[Novastarjessa]

Thanks! Yeah it’s a big city! A state capital. Probably not! Not worth the risk it’s just weird he offers grand gestures and compliments and the name change thing it’s just all fishy

[Novastarjessa]

My nick name is MJ lol bc if my red hair my MJ senses going off

[Surely]

That’s funny !

[Flower7]

I don’t see how this could be a sign of trafficking, but it seems best to just stop communicating with him, whatever his name is.

[DryGermanGuy]

Sounds like the guy is busy running a three ring circus, only with women.

[HungTexan]

I’d just drop him now. It’s fishy a d he’s been lying to you.

[In_Trance]

You got trolled

[Novastarjessa]

What’s trolled? Scammed?

[In_Trance]

Hell yea
