Pretty sure I was almost trafficked today

I was walking down the street and this car pulled over with a single woman shouting at me in Spanish and I don’t know any Spanish so I stopped and tried to see what she wanted then I saw another car in the parking lot next to where I was walking and these two men got out of the car and started walking towards me from behind me. A cop car drove by and the men made a beeline back to their car and I took off running. The woman in the car proceeded to drive slowly next to me for a bit then she took off. Really freaked me out. I made it home safe but man it was scary. We have a lot of trafficking down here because we are so close to the border.

I don’t think it was in my head. I don’t typically hallucinate real people except for a little kid.

Sounds sketchy. Maybe report it even if it’s just a suspicion.

Are you saying you think it’s all in my head?

not exactly, in a situation like that you should doubt kidnapping a little

I don’t know their intention but what happened was really sketchy. Plus one of the largest places for trafficking is AZ Mills mall which is like 20 minutes from where I was. I felt threatened enough to pull up my emergency button on my phone till I got away from them. They were definitely working together.

stay safe whatever you do, if there is risk of kidnapping. I honestly cant be certain enough of what happened to not rule out that you are paranoid.

Yeah stay safe out there. Trafficking is a real thing. I gave these Mexican kids a ride one time but parked in a position where I couldn’t get blocked in. Their brother met us at these apartments by my moms house to pick them up. It was sketchy as hell. The whole situation was weird.

you look like a strong girl too, it would not be easy for them to wrestle you

There were two large men and a younger (maybe early 30s) woman. Pretty sure three against one wouldn’t be good
