PSA Tips to help prevent Trafficking

0:01 What's good. Cousins and King folks, you already know who it is. It is your favorite podcast that my currently under construction. I am your host. Thank you so much for joining us today. Man, it is a beautiful day outside today. The weather is kind of milding down, working into that fall season. Man, I can't wait to the cool downside, because who was tired of the eat? It is me, man. It's too hard to be out there like that. But Hey, you know what, when the days are beautiful like this, Hey, you try to get out and then join yourself the best play possible. But Hey, just be safe out there, because the sun is still no joke, even though it was. We're preparing to cool down something. Still be safe out to their. Protect yourself by all means and necessary. You know, uh, you sunscream.

0:44 Hey, speaking of that right there, I want to just touch on it. Do mean to get sidetrack hit with You'all cousins and Kn' folks, but you know, that's disparage. That that that that myth, just because we're mellonated people, and I'm talking to my cousins and Ken folks here. Were not just my my mellonated cousins and in folks. Now, because I have can folks of all different shades, colors, creates and everything here. So let's not get it twisted. But I'm talking about my melanated cousins and Ken folks. And just because we're melanie doesn't mean that our scheme and can't get damaged over the sun can't affect us, because it can. So protect yourself at all costs, you know, if you have you know, wearing heads, maybe some longer sleeves, something like that, or use some type of particular SPF sunscreen on your skin, you know, to ensure that you are protected by any and all means necessary. All right, cousins and King folks, all right now, all right, man again, thank you all for joining us to day. Man, big shout out to man, to y'all. Man, Y'all been cutting up here in season four. Man, I love it. Y'All have been sending the emails, Y'all have been stacking it up. Y'All have been asking for UH to touch on different topics, wanting more information. Man, I love y'All. I swear I love y'All.

2:00 Y'All are the reasons why I do what I do. Y'All are the reason why this thing is in season four right now, because of your all. And again, I was talking with a friend recently. You know, again, I don't do this, you know, for any monetary value or anything of their particular nature. I do it because it's in my heart to do so. It's a part of who I am and and and this is a part of the platform that the most high gave me in order to do what I can to uh, encourage, uplift all of our listeners and to help my cousins and kiding folks in any specific way that I can. And speaking of that, right there, you know, segueing into that today's topic, I need you all to pay real close attention to me. Yeah, I need you all to pay real good close attention to me because, uh, this is one I'm gonna need you to pull out, you know, paid pull out your uh, a piece of paper, if you got to do it on a pround piece of paper bag or you got a tablet sitting by notepad or either a note on your your phone or your IPAD or your tablet or whatever the case may be. I need you all to take notes with me here today, because this one right here where we're gonna get into the day. It's real serious. I'm gonna need you to pay close attention, especially my my my my lady cousins. I need you all to pay close attention, oh so, pretty much more so, because you are some of are the main ones that they're targeting here with this right here now.

3:30 For those of you who know me, Y'all know that, Um, I'm a big, huge advocate and speaking out against human trafficking of any kind, you know, sex trafficking, UH, selling people or whatever the case may be. I'm a huge advocate, UH, speaking out against that. Now I've been, Um, singing some things, talking with some people, um, seeing videos and just gathering information, and they are changing their tactics. They are trying to get sliquid it. They're not just, you know, pulling up with the the unmarked white van with or or truck or whatever, with the dark windows, or whatever the case may be. Now, some are still using that, but they're getting extremely, extremely creative. They really are. They're they're they're working not just in Tandems, they're working getting bunches right now at a single location or multiple locations at the same time. So I have some information with you all, that I'm going to share with you all to day, and I really need you all to to really get with me, really pay close attention to this, because this, and I'm hoping and praying this could save someone's life. Pass this information along, as I've been, you know, was provided with this information for me to pass along, and I'm praying that you know, you can take this information, spread it to somebody and they may be able to help somebody. But again,

5:00 they are getting extremely uh slick with this, you know, uh, they've developed all different types of techniques and everything. So I'm I have a list compiled of things that they're doing and and and and, uh, methods that they're taking. So I want you all to take this trip with me, uh, pay close attention, Um, gather your your loved ones with you if you can, or share this episode within which I prefer that you share this episode with them also. But either way, hopefully that this information will help somebody. So well, now, without further do let me get into it for you right here. So, one of the methods that they used, the first method that they use, is called the broken glass method.

5:47 Now, I know a lot of times that we're getting our cars. We're not paying attention to what's under the car, how it's got now or wasn't even there when we first pulled up. But they're getting slick with this. Right here they are in the process. They will take and place glass behind one or more of your tires, you know, to cause you to have a flat. They were then in turn where this in one car or two of multiple vehicles. They would then follow you until eventually one of two things stopped. They would either you develop a flat or you see something's going on with your vehicle that you will stop. begint out to inspect your vehicle. Once that happens, there then you know approach you to try to either to kidnap you or pretend that they're going to help, and then you know you're at a vulnerable state. So any event that you run across that particular method, don't stop at any place that's dark on the road. If you if if you can, if you develop a flat, drive on to someplace safe or whatever the case may be. Called Nine, one one. Don't get out of your vehicle Um to inspect it or anything, especially if you're alone or if it's just just two of you. Are that can just just be careful with that right there. If you have to stop and and and it's gotten that bad, stop somewhere that's that's really let gas station, Um, someplace that's really really lit up. So that way you will you'll be okay.

7:13 Um. The second method that they they throw into, and this one seems to be a real popular one that they use, is to help me method. Now, sex traffickers will exploit any and every weakness that they can. They look for little deals here and there that they can use to try to manipulate you and and and and exploit anything that they can. So what they'll do is they will praying your vulnerability and kindness, you know, using their use women, children, elderly, you know, women or men, and to lure you into a dangerous situation. I saw a video that a young lady said that she saw and it just, you know, bother her the wrong way, that she wouldn't store. Came out and she's pumping gas and all of a sudden this elderly woman, you know, came up to her asking her for help because she helped her pump her gas, and she's parked in the vehicle right behind her, really, really close to her or I'm no, I'm sorry, it was on the other side of her pump that, but that was like facing the opposite direction. And she told all she had to do was do x, Y Z. But you know, she's like, well, I don't know what to do. So she was a little skeptical about them. She said, well, Hey, there are people up in there. You know, just going there and help them.

8:31 You know, to talk to those that are working at the counter and they'll be able to help you. So she said. At that point, she immediately stopped pumping her gas, even though it wasn't to the amount that she had paid for, she had need to stop pumping her gas, got in her vehicle and drove off. The best thing that she could have done at that particular moment Um. But in these most common situations, women will knock on your door, you know, they'll come to your place the other they'll even try to steal a knock on your door and, you know, two three in the morning, claiming that they are in danger or you know, if you are uh, but if you threaten to call the cops, you know, three men, you know, or a group of being or something like that, will come out of shadows and they all, like, you know, may retreat into a van or you may, you know, close your door and after you when you see that, and then you look at your window and you will start seeing a lot of scurry in here and there, you know whatnot, you know. So, Um, anytime anyone is asking for help, you know, call the police in that situation. Don't try to assess the situation yourself. Immediately call nine one one, call the police. You know, shut your door, don't open. Well, first of all, don't open your door to anyone like that that particular time in the morning, because you never know what's going on. They may, in turn, try to Bum Resh you, uh rum with you to your house or something of that, particularly to so don't do that. UH, they're definitely getting real um big on doing this right here at hotels. You know, if you're at a hotel, then you're out town or something like that and you are traveling alone. Please, please, please, please, please,

10:07 be careful with that right there, because they are knocking on your doors at, uh, two and three in the more and saying that their security or um maintenance or something like that, just to get you to open your door again. I saw Um Um, a method that they used recently. This young lady was Um at a hotel in Vegas and Um, this guy was knocking on her door constantly. But first he opened her door. He had a key, a master key. He opened her door first, and then she, you know, she at that particular point, Um, she just happened to have the latch on it, so he couldn't get past the latch. So close to doing so, he started knocking on the talking about his security. He needed her to come downstairs and, uh, it was an issue with her car. You know, they needed to talk to her about it. Mind you, she said that. You know, she was there without a car. She was there without a car. She did even come up with a car. She didn't have a car. So that was the game right there in itself. So when she called the front desk, nobody airs everything that he left, and I guess this was the guy who did the heat answered and I guess no one was down and heat answered the phone. Know what was her calling? And she's asking about that. He's like, Oh, it was an issue with your car, and she's trying to tell them there was nothing with a car. And she was like, well, why didn't you call the well, he said the car was smoking, and then she said, well, why didn't you call the police?

11:35 That would have been the first thing to do. Well, let's call the police. Well, no, we don't have to do that now, since you know you said not. Your card has absolutely nothing to do with you now. So you don't have to do that. Wait, what really for? You just beat my door down fifteen minutes straight talking about it's an issue with me in my car, and didn't when I call on the phone, you go downstairs and you answer the phone saying you need me to come downstairs by myself so you can look at the issue and get the issue resolved with this car that's in the guards of the garage smoking. But now, when I say that's called the police and get the police involved, you change Your Tun and say, Oh, don't worry about it now, or it has nothing to do with you now. So you know, we'll we'll take care of it. You'll be careful about their people. Be careful. That is they, they are they. They're coming all different types of ways and and and and trying to get sleek um another thing that they're using. They're using you know this, and stores and they're really working in bunches and Tand you know, with this right here, they're using the perfume method. So you may have again when I got told you earlier. They're even using women to do so. So you'll have one or more women will approach you and ask if you want to try a sample of a perfume. Now, they don't work in these stores, they don't work at all, but they will ask you if you want to try a sample of a perfume. Do not, do not. You hear me clearly, do not let them spray the substance on you, close to your nose, in your face, or anything of

13:07 their pre nature, particul nature, or either if they spread on a piece of paper or anything like that. Don't let them do it. And you smell it, this particular Drupe, whatever it is that they're using, were causing eventual blackout, maybe not immediately at that moment, but an eventual blackout to the point to where you know, uh, they'll pretend. You'll have others on standby, pretend like they're with you and they're your friends and they're just trying to get you home and anything like something to protend the particular nature and they have you now, m don't do it. They are really targeting malls, malls, strips, uh, places that you know, stories like macy's and stuff like that. You know where they have Um um people that that are selling perfume and stuff like that, dillards, you know. So just watch out that. Be careful in that, you know, because these are the places that they're targeting. There to do so. And again, they're working in bunches. So Um, those that will understand you up, you know, they'll try to pretend like they're with you or they're trying to help you, be a good Samaritan, trying to help you win all actuality.

14:24 They're about to get you now again, I'm only doing this to bring awareness. I'm not saying you can't be friend or everybody's out to get you. I'm not saying that in any shape form of fashion, cousins and King folks, what I'm trying to do is bring awareness to this and to ensure that you are okay, that you can go out in public, being cognizant of your surroundings and you do what's necessary to ensure that you protect you those that are with you and whatever the case may be. So we're trying to spread awareness here and currently under construction on the okay, all right, now this one. I've seen this myself. I saw a video about it also, but I actually have seen this myself. The ZIP time method they will take and put. Traffickers are looking for women who are alone or alone with kids, especially kids, especially, because these are the people that they're they're they're really targeting. So they will wait until you leave your vehicle, you know, like going in shopping or you into work or something like that, or you know, whatever the case may be, and they will wait until you leave and then put a zip tie either on the back portion of your vehicle, one of the back doors, something of that particular nature. You know, Um, the most common areas that they use, our door handles.

15:54 Uh. This lets the traffickers know that you are a potential, vulnerable target for them. So those that may be in their little circle, their little group or whatever, they know now that, hey, you are a potential target for them and for them to follow you and first opportunity to get you again. I've seen this myself. Um, parking lot, you know where I live. I actually saw this, you know, when I knew the person who would who vehicle, who the vehicle belonged to. I I let them know and let them know why and hoping that they, you know, were able to get it cut off, which I think that they did, so that they will protect themselves. But yes, they this is something that I see them do regularly, Um. So be careful with this.

16:48 If you see a zip tipe anywhere on your vehicle, snatch it off, cut it off, take it off as quickly as possible because at that particular moment you have been targeted. I saw a story recently, Um, of a young lady that her dad, you know, saw what was what that she came home from work three straight days with a zip tie tied on the door knob, the back door knob or the back because she had an issue V or the back handle of her vehicle, and he cut it off every time, but those the last time he saw it. He had a brother that's in law enforcement and he was just happen to telling them about it and he told them, you get that off as quickly as possible. She's been targeted, you know, cut it off as quickly as possible. Let her know what's up and what the deal is on that that she's been targeted.

17:38 You know. So if any one of those potential people would have saw that it was it was. It was an indicator to them and those in that circle that she was a potential for them. So I think the most high that her dad, you know, cut it off, you know just you know, for what ever reason he was doing it at first, but you know, taking the time to just mention to his brother, who was in law enforcement, what he was doing and what was up, and he and he knew and explained what what the deal was and he spread awareness about that. I'm grateful for that and I'm grateful for that that young lady. Um, they never got the opportunity to um traffic that young lady. there.

18:26 Um another thing that they're doing. Um, and please be careful with this, you know, because I lot to know a lot of times we see stuff that may look like this, just trash thrown on our cars. Um, be careful with this. So now what they're also doing? They're using something that's called the lace tissue method, you know, and what they're doing with that is, Um, there was stuff, a piece of tissue on various places in your car and your windshield or or something of that, particularly on the bad mostly on the door handles. You know, do not, I repeat, cousins and Kenn fell do not, attempt to remove this tissue with your bare hands. You know at all. You know, uh, if you see this and you're s capital about it or whatever, call the authorities, have them come look at your vehicle and find out what's what, but do not attempt to remove it yourself, specially bear hands. The tissue is laced with the drug to make you more vulnerable to being abducted. Leave it on your car, unless you have tweezers or something like that to remove it and something that you can sanitize your your car width in order to do so. But do not, again, I repeat, do not try to remove this yourself. They're counting on you just taking it and brushing it off and whatever. This is a drug that they use that's in that particular tissue is absorbed through the skin and then now it's on you and it's it's getting your blood stream and it makes you vulnerable. So again, let's be careful with that. The final thing the method that they use. We've probably heard

20:02 about this first more than anything, and it's become a bigger bigger issue. They will use an air tag, you know, an apple air tag. Traffickers will place an apple air tag on your vehicle to get your home address. So if you have an apple device, ipad, ipod, iphone, you know, it'll it'll alert you to let you know that, Um, and own, an unknown air attack has since placed on something you own. You know. So if you're an android used, of course it won't, it won't come up or anything of that particular nature. But Um, doing inspection of your vehicle at all times because you never know and they will use it to track you to get your home address. So check your tirewheel up under your vehicle, under the bumpers or anything. You know. Do that so that you know you're ensured that you are safe. Um, because again, they're used just to get your address or places that you've been and stuff like that. And I just want you all to be careful out their cousins and King folks. Um, also watch out for vehicles that if you happen to leave something in your vehicle or be careful and leaving your vehicle unlock and your vehicle has the GPS, what they also will do. They will also heck your GPS. So, especially in rental vehicles, you know what they'll

21:34 do. They'll they'll heck your GPS. They will, in turn, use the computer to take over your GPS and try to guide you two places. You know, you may have put in one particular place and it will lead you somewhere to something that you're not trying to go, especially again, if you're out of town. And most again, they look for rental vehicles to do this with. So, if you're somewhere, you're out of town, do you have you R in a vehicle? Use your phone GPS versus using the GPS in a vehicle, because I've ran across a few articles of young ladies who, you know, putting their GPS to go one place and they were led to an abandoned warehouse to where they um either came BUP missing or them or much worse. Yeah, so again, cousins and King Folks, Um we have several different methods I want you all to be aware of share with your family and loved ones. The air tag method, lace tissue method, zip time method, perfume method, to help me method, broken glass method. If you don't remember what each each does and each is about to go back and listen to this particular episode again again. That's why I wanted you all to take notes, write it down, whatever the case may be, pass this information along and share with others. You don't know whose life

23:07 it could or could not save. You know. So again, please be safe out there. Cousins and King Folks, I love Y'all and I want you to be able to live your life Um to the fust of your abilities and not have to worry about if someone is stalking you or trying to traffic you, or whatever the case may be. I need a soul to be safe. This is an ongoing and and and and uh, horrible thing that's going on, because to do something of this particular nature, you have to be an evil not do me an evil person to be able to be involved with this particular deal. Spread the word, be vigil it, look out and be safe out there. I love y'All. Thank you for joining us here for this particular uh episode of currently under construction. I'm sorry, I'm a little Um, UM, a little off kilter right now, so to speak. Cousins Ken Folks, is just the fact that, Um, this particular issues, it's it's near and dear to me and I just again, I just want you all to be safe. So if it seems like I'm a little Um, out of sorts, that's the reason why, because I'm

24:41 just, you know, just sit here and think about it and, Um, there's a young lady that I know that her daughter is still missing. Um, they still have a founder yet we're praying that, um, that they find her. Um, hopefully she'll be home. So we we that she'll be found and come home soon. It just, Um, just the thought of all the thing that these people are doing to these children and that they go these young ladies and young men that they go through, it's just unfathomable.
