Interesting (but entirely anecdotal) note since I started responding with human trafficking assistance resources to every incoming sha zhu pan ("pig butchering") text message -- they have stopped completely. I believe I got added to some exclusion list the criminals pass around. So I can endorse this strategy on several levels now.

@vees Neat :) . I'd also appreciate a link.
I'm wondering, such advice would have to specific to the jurisdiction where the victim is held/comes from ?

@vees I love this. I'm saving it as an autoexpander on my iPhone and will use it with gusto. Thank you!
