Well shoot… I was just thinking of hitting up a hot gal from Korean604 in a Richmond condo near mine, this very weekend. Should I abandon the plan? I’ve used Korean604 last year (also in Richmond) without incident fwiw.
Richmond police target, arrest people seeking sexual services online

k604 is not the only perb ad agency (s) who have offices in Richmond. I'm not sure how safe they are at this point?? But what do I know.
Its fucked they rather go after customers than scammers and actual pimps.
Well it's alot easier. They don't care about the safety of anyone.. it's just an image thing. Same thing as the recent gun ban - easier to go after the every day citizen who has a legal firearm, vs going after criminals.
Absolutely spot on!! Those of us who have used perb for a few years, know and provide posts on incidences of scams.
All it would take is "Detective Dickhead" to make an appointment with a scammer and bust them at the appropriate time.
Hell, maybe we could encourage them to go after bait and switch providers for "fraudulent misrepresentation "!! 😆 🤣
Hi everyone — I want to offer a bit of clarity here because I know this situation has people concerned.
First, based on what we know, this operation involved undercover police posting ads and communicating online — not targeting or working through established, well-known providers or businesses.
So if you are engaging with known, reputable providers or locations, that is a very different situation than responding to random or newly posted ads. This was police activity, not a reflection of the safety of established businesses.
From the information released:
I’ve been in direct communication with RCMP about this.
Where we differ is how to do that without causing harm to others in the process.

From the information released:
- Police were posing as sex workers online
- They communicated with over 100 people in one day
- Their stated goal was to:
- reduce demand
- identify potential exploitation
I’ve been in direct communication with RCMP about this.
- Their position is that they are trying to identify exploitation and protect vulnerable people (including youth)
- I’ve been very clear that:
- this kind of enforcement has broader impacts
- it can undermine safety and income stability for sex workers
- and that matters because people rely on this work to feed and house themselves and their families
Where we differ is how to do that without causing harm to others in the process.
- This operation was police-run online activity, not targeting through established providers
- Well-known, reputable services are not what this was about
- There is ongoing discussion about how to:
- address exploitation
- without compromising safety or livelihoods

I dunno. Seems to me if LE wants to cut into potential human trafficking and other undesirable aspects of the sex trade industry they will get more mileage by curbing the demand as opposed to the supply.
Laws of supply and demand says cutting the supply without similarly impacting the demand means cost of supply goes up. Cut the demand and supply has to adjust either by reducing costs or supply i.e. go somewhere else to ply their trade.
No way that the agencies are being targeted since you're calling or texting a number you know, that is on their respective websites. How can you be chatting with LE in that case? Doesn't make sense. All the agencies that have locations in Richmond are fine.
All they have to do is catch the guy holding the phone and start responding to messages
Sure, but in the history of BC, this has never happened, so these are just little made-up fantasies. The fact is, the police create fake ads to lure people in, so stick to SPs with good reputations, and you have nothing to worry about.
Hmm." this never has happened" and "they are just little made-up fantasies"? That logic is flawed on so many levels. Let's not forget Water Cube and other "raids' that have happened in the past which puts everyone in an precarious situation: https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/02/13/richmond-massage-parlours-raids-swan/
My bad, but I think it's still a bit of a different situation than sticking to well-known providers who work for themselves. Everyone is welcome to their own risk assetment of course.
So the only question I have here is…
…are the undercover agents Hot?

"I walked into a sting, it was definitely a bait and switch, so I handed her $20 for her time and walked out"
There was a good show about how law enforcement in the states runs dirty stings. Last week tonight with John Oliver
Yes it was about the US but police here are no different. They entrap (entice) people who had no criminal history and their only care is making sensationalized arrests that look good in front of the cameras. What I would be afraid of is them having dirt ( leverage) on a well known amp and basically blackmailing them to cooperate with LE to avoid charges. The other angle would be a LL add that sounds too good to be true
It appears that many have never researched the Laws surrounding Prostitution.
Many providers seem to operate without knowing them.
Some here understand them better than others.
I recommend that anyone who engages in this activity should research and, at the very least, gain some knowledge of the laws related to the activity.
here is a link to some good general information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Canada
(Mods please remove above line if not allowed)
Search Wikis' , visit the Can Justice and Gov sites to read the criminal code and case law.
Law enforcement can even sting against well known SPs, however it comes down to resource and money.
It is easier and cheaper to focus on rub houses.

This explains why Swan Lake was completely empty at 2pm last Saturday. I was expecting a full house and being able to hear all the lovely swans being plowed in other rooms but it was just me and Ocean. She said there were no customers at all.
It is unfortunate this kind of operation hurts the business of operations like SL.
