One of the functions mentioned in a previous article that Human Traffickers do is deceive people with lies. These lies can be printed, written, spoken, or typed. This misinformation can be spread to anyone, anywhere at any time. One of the routes used to reach much of the public is by creating advertisements. These ads can be as small as an audio recording clip, While doing everyday tasks, you may unintentionally come across an ad published by a Human Trafficker or on behalf of one. Some signs may be simpler to pinpoint that it was made from a malicious source using key words or common phrases from a Trafficking Ring. Others can be difficult to spot because they can cleverly hide symbols within the illustration, marketing slogan, or both. One would have to possess more knowledge of their activities in order to identify these advertisements accurately.
Where to Find Them
Human Traffickers and/or other abusers rely on these signs for guidance of location, destination, or to see who is up on the market at the moment. Yes, I did say the word, "Who." It doesn't take much to find the signs as they are everywhere. Some are name brands of products you use to eat or clothes people wear. Many of the brands performing this illegal activity work together to promote each other and try to prevent a high risk of exposing themselves in order to not be caught. Many of them contain misspellings or try to make use of slang terminology to appeal to the younger generations of children and teenagers as a lure to make them into sex slaves or coerce into "prostitution". This is a similar red flag we use to watch out for online scams in emails and such. Some misspellings can be due to foreigners not knowing the English language very well or can be intentional with specific letters having certain significances to their network. Many of the advertisements are hosted by real estate signs using symbols (mostly with three letter acronyms for specific fetishes or group names). These can be dangerous as most are placed strategically near locations with higher populations of children. The signs at these locations can be seen by not only the children, but their parents, babysitters, and any family members or friends visiting from out of town who take the children to schools. Many people will be exposed to these deadly Sex Trafficking hints leaving a trail for offenders to follow along with more of new potential victims.
Here are some examples of where you may find these signs:
Traditional / In-Person:
At your workplace - in staff common areas, newsletters, etc.
Classified ads in newspapers - usually located on the back pages.
Corners of intersections near schools - once you are more aware of these signs, you'll be surprised as to how many are grouped together near Elementary schools. It's a daunting amount. They'll even put up the same sign on almost every corner surrounding the school's location too.
Corners or walls of buildings of nearby intersections of medical facilities - hospitals, urgent care clinics, emergency rooms, behavioral health clinics, psychiatric wards, etc.
Job Recruitment Offices - posted flyers around the office or outside stands.
Near residential developments hosting higher volumes of human trafficking - harboring victims, filming spots, or used as impromptu rape locations.
Near boarded up houses or buildings - be very careful as many of these places may no longer carry on with "legal" business statuses during the day, but during the evenings, they can be used as sites for porn producers and for rape "parties". Usually the victims are drugged or beaten or both to a state of unconsciousness for all attendees to take turns on them until the "party" is deemed over. This can be done by individuals or large groups and it doesn't mean that the party ends once the victim is dead. The rape can keep occurring postmortem.
Networking Groups - Business and Social.
Plastered on light poles, lamp posts, or mailboxes.
Printed Media - Books, magazines, etc.
Restaurants - store fronts, near drive thru signs, or along the road where most street traffic go through.
Retail Stores - store fronts, on community boards usually located near public restrooms or staff areas, or mall bulletin signs.
Street art or graffiti - can be anywhere that has a vertical surface, such as buildings, park walls, windows, highway borders, etc.
Transit - in the train stations or trains themselves; outsides of buses or along the tops of the inside; same for shuttles, etc.

Digital / Online:
All Social Media Apps - including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, SnapChat, etc.
Blogs - Any website that allows the creation of any kind of blog. Human Trafficking knows no boundaries and has no preferences.
Chat Rooms / Chat Apps - Messengers for emails, Discord, Ventrilo, Raidcall, MeetUp, Skype, and any other online applications that have a chat function in the form of type, audio, and/or video added to it.
Comment Solicitations / Ads on any Website - Anywhere that permits a comment to be written.
Dark Web - An area on the web where most illegal content and black market is located. Most areas with the most amount of illegal activity, such as livestream tortures / rapes and other payable content, are encrypted and difficult to get into unless a VPN is used.
Dictionary Sentence Example(s) - These are randomized and scattered throughout various dictionaries, especially those that allow input from the community.
Games - Mainstream gaming platforms including those that require a monthly subscription, MMORPGs, MOBAs, gaming networks, gaming forums, chat messengers, etc.
Job Employment Apps - Websites that let you search for jobs like Indeed, Monster, Craigslist, CareerBuilder, SimplyHired, etc.
Music Lists - listed as album names, new updated cover images, modified song names, etc.
RideShare Apps - Uber, Lyft, etc.
Temp Agency Websites - Robert Half, Apple One, Aerotek, Lyneer Staffing, ZipRecruiter, etc.
Website & Email Ads - Email inboxes usually have an ad posted on a sidebar or at the top/bottom borders that are also known as clickbait. Websites also have the similar interface.
Specific names of locations would need a second look or more. Again, this requires a higher level of intel in this field in order to recognize these. As Human Trafficking can be anywhere, there isn't a set list to go off of unless the establishments are part of an law enforcement investigation that is not secret that will filter down the focused town names at the time. From my experience, there are many locations designated for this activity within my city and neighboring ones as well with people working together. The larger the Trafficking Ring, the longer the distance is covered. International Human Trafficking Rings have more resources in order to have victims transported at much longer distances by land and sea including overseas on boats, up in the air on plane flights, and long National road trips hauling victims in the back of commercial trucks or trailers that are large and small.
The Language They Use
It is typical in Sex Trafficking to see the offensive common words mostly used to describe female victims in this field. This does not mean that males are not subjected to these terms either or members of the LGBTQ+ community. No one is excluded from becoming a victim by these numerous networks of people. When it comes to Sex Trafficking, females are more likely than any other gender to be subjected into this modern day slavery at much higher percentages. In the United States, that number can be 80% more likely that the victim is female. Many of us have been hearing these words since we were children ourselves being exposed to them from media, schools, and then some. Some words may seem harmless, but it's how they are used that makes them weaponized and change their meanings to vulgar.

Besides names they refer to the victims as, they have identifiers for their groups as a whole. They hide them using business lingo to make them seem as businesses with legit practices. The names can also be hidden within rosters of mass email exchanges that include aliases.
Here are some key words in English to watch out for whenever you are out and about during your day running errands, doing hobbies, or even at home surfing the web:
50 - This number is used to reference the Movie 50 Shades of Gray to reenact scenes within the movie much more violently or reenact BDSM labeled rape encounters from a rapist that held me hostage in my apartment for about a week many years ago (in 2007) where I almost died multiple times and choked to death. The edited videos that I have been unaware of for many years have been circulating around the Dark Web since then creating a falsified reputation of me being a porn star.
Association - Sometimes used with a dash after the Ass beginning part of the word.
Back Seat Cheap Rates - Promotion Deal for sex trafficking in vehicles that can be a car, truck, van, trailer, RV, etc.
BD Play - The acts of bonding victims by any means using rope, chains, hooks, or more separating the arms and legs from the body to make forced rapes, especially gang rapes easier to occur. In Human Trafficking, there are no willing victims and there is no consent that is allowed, therefore it will always be considered rape. The intention is to keep the victims bound for the entire rape sessions or during entire periods of being held hostage where they are harbored.
BDSM Play - Includes beating someone into submission, forcing to be obedient, and torturing/raping to no end.
Cat Play - Treating an individual as a cat, roleplay, putting submissive to be treated like a cat.
CEO Club - Role play to have a secretary and rape them locally or while traveling to other countries.
C Lay - A label for someone as a CEO lay.
Commercial signs or billboards with sexual words - Some examples of these kinds of words and their varied spellings include, but are not limited to the words "cum", "kum", "cream", or "kream" in it. Be open to love - or it would mention something similar to this as Be open to sharing love.
Cozy Connections - An embellishment for rape and sex slavery.
Dad's Club - Father and daughter incest rape is encouraged by this group and done within this circle. The members of this group like to be called "Daddy", "Dom", or "Master".
Dom Club - BDSM reference where the Dominant or Dom is usually male and referred to as a Master with a slave.
Dynamic - Trafficking lingo shown on credit card terminals, mentioned in job ads, and forms for Sex Traffickers to notice it.
Eden's Garden - A religious excuse for rape that usually refers to a setting with a stripper, escort, prostitute, sex slave, or all of the above. Usually where gang rapes take place.
Electric - Use of electricity to shock an individual for torture or death purposes.
Escala G - Reference to 50 Shades of Gray novel location.
Escort Agency - A synonym for prostitution.
ET - Movie title reference that represents anal sodomy and rape.
Extreme - A reference to BDSM play or torture to murder fetishes.
EZ Street / Easy Street - Where they line up cars in parking spots and circulate victims to be drugged, given alcohol, and raped in every vehicle. They also use bribery with food.

Loyalty Rewards - Some programs have been hijacked by Human Traffickers using purchase programs to track purchase preferences of victims to aid in the stalking process. They also steal reward points and other things that are offered in oppress victims further.
Mental Health Support Circle - Human Traffickers prey on the disabled community because they can become the voiceless. Due to many stereotypes and stigmas, people look down on the disabled and do not listen to them. Support Circles are hunting grounds for Human Traffickers where they try to use vulnerabilities against victims. They create their own or weasel their way into others.
Mental Health Network - Human Traffickers own many Behavioral Health Facilities and Groups misdiagnosing people to have them added into the disabled community and entrap them as slaves. They also weasel their way into reporting agencies to prevent reports from being filed and keep the victims imprisoned for life where they are denied food, drink, adequate care, and access to fair medical practice. Many victims do not make it through their full lifetimes as there are no people to check on them and politicians help with lying about this as well to cover things up. This practice has been occurring over centuries.
Mile High Club - Rape on a plane done in the bathroom or in a designated section of the plane (near the window seat or at the back of the plane near the flight attendant area) usually done during the last half of the flight while plane is hovering before landing. They will also entrap victims at airports overnight or longer with wrongful charges or overcharges including fees for plane tickets and prolonging the refund process causing a financial burden for victims. By entrapping the victim overnight at the airport, Human Traffickers are more likely to reserve whole planes for full flight gang rapes and tortures in which they cover up for each other for victims bold enough to report them to airport security. No airline or airport is excluded.
Network - Vast illegal connections that span throughout ALL industries around the world.
NJoy, N'Joy, or N JOY in all caps - A brand name shown on small, narrow remote controls found in and near vehicles of people who raped me over the summer in 2022 as well as other places I was raped as well. It references me as a game play sex doll enabling people to electrocute me, administer drugs, etc.
Salty Bitch - Slogan found on the back of sweaters.
Sex Slave - A person forced into being raped against their will, but communicated by Human Traffickers as a willing person who is a people pleaser, a term used in victim blaming to benefit Traffickers.
Share Love - Where the word sharing = rape for "fun" in this phrase.
Shock Therapy - A procedure popular in BDSM electrocuting victims for torture "fun" and performed in behavioral health facilities to make people become disabled through brain damage.
Silver Lane - A reference to the lane of cars lined up on designated streets by appointment made by Human Traffickers to rape victims.
Silver Network - The network of Human Traffickers recruiting for car lane, parking lot gang rapes, and organized hunting / torture fests for Traffickers. Victims are passed around into cars, trucks, trailers of all sizes (open or closed), outside storage pods, portable potties, and then some. They refer to victims as a sport or play things to do as they wish regardless of the quality of life status the victims have. The lower the quality of life, the longer the sessions go even after suffocation and death.
SM Play - A sadomassochistic gorelike "playstyle" that focuses on torturing victims to bloodshed or death.
SM Reels - Live Stream or recorded sadomassochistic rapes.
Sterling - Another way of using their term Silver for mass raping victims in vehicles.
Sub - An acronym for Submissive used in BDSM play often forced into a position of sex slavery.

XXX Business or X Business - Sex industry terminology where one X is used to try to cover up the obvious triple X that many people outside of Human Trafficking can recognize.
The list goes on.
What You Can Do
You can report it to local authorities or hotlines. I do not have specific recommendations of which phone numbers to call for you yet as I've called almost all of them frequently and have received little to no results. But I still do encourage you to report a way you do find. The optimism I still have leads me to keep faith in the fact that the more people report, the more organizations will be pressured into doing something. This list is currently in the works and will be available soon with real feedback from my experiences so there are no surprises on your end when you do make an attempt to call or write.
Take a snapshot using your phone or camera and show it to a reporting agency. You can also share it with people you know to spread awareness if you're not comfortable yet speaking to a reporting agency. Perhaps, you can have someone call a hotline with you as backup, which can also help you have a stronger case in supplying a tip to them.
I would say show it to authorities, but that can be risky as from my experience, I haven't had much luck with this. They've rejected it, won't even look at it, dismiss you with another phone number, or quickly mention the excuse of, "not my jurisdiction" and send you off on your way without anymore information or pass you to someone else. These are real life responses that I've received from law enforcement, medical professionals, and more. This is due to Human Traffickers weaseling their way into as many establishments as they possibly can. The more places they are, the more control they have over being the gatekeepers of systems that run our cities, states, and our country. They pay their way in or own these whole businesses that carry out these functions denying millions of people access to resources daily. They favor taking over the areas where people go to report because they can easily tell them, "No," destroy the paperwork, or record false information into computer database systems making it difficult for the legit employee to find their information to continue with the investigation.
You can be bold and take down one or more of these signs, which can help save a life. You would need to be careful doing this as you may be spotted by one of their "scouts" keeping watch of their trail to ensure the Traffickers continue having business. When in doubt, spreading the word can help put pressure on them to force them to remove it themselves. The larger the networks, the more they have to lose and will not want to risk losing their profits. It is also common practice for them to change business names frequently. They will just vacate and relocate elsewhere or make new signs featuring the new business name. But if we're lucky, they will abandon the area completely and discontinue as Traffickers for some time...maybe even permanently. That can be wishful thinking too though.
