I was forcibly invited to a coffee shop for three hours. I was really tired. And I did what I did "for the time being".
"Anyways, let's just write your name and address here for now."
The man took a document out of his Gucci bag and presented it to me. His tone was very light.
"Anyways" is a scary word.
Just by saying that one word, you don't feel that the next event will have such a serious consequence. It is an illusion created by words.
Let's try a little experiment. There is a red button in front of you. The man beside you speaks in a light tone. "Anyways, let's just push this button."
See, when you are told like this, don't you push the button without thinking? Don't you push the button without thinking deeply?
Even if that button is the button to launch a nuclear weapon, if you don't know that it is a nuclear weapon?
And I pressed it.
I gave my address, name, and since I did not have a actual signature stamp, I stamped my thumbprint in its place.
I think about three hours had passed since I stopped at the Shibuya intersection and this person forcefully invited me to a coffee shop.
I was really tired.
It must have been about a month after that, I had forgotten that I had signed it, when the Gucci guy contacted me again. He said he had set a date for the shoot.
It was only then that I realized it was for a porn shoot.
I tried to hang up in horror, but the person on the other end wouldn't let me.
"You signed the contract, didn't you?"
"My life is over." My eyes were darkened.
Fortunately, I had a good friend.
My best friend since high school thought it was strange that I didn't respond to her messages, so she visited me in my room. Then I found out what was going on.
She encouraged me that there had to be something we could do about it.
I was frightened, but a friend contacted me instead. I was encouraged that nothing worse could happen to me.
The people at PAPS immediately responded and arranged a shelter for me. We stayed there until we were sure it was safe.
The counselor asked me how I found thier website, so I am writing about it, but neither I nor my friend remember exactly. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing.
My friend said she probably searched for "porn" and "contract" on her smartphone. I think it was "porn" and "coercion," but not "porn" and "consultation.
I don't think it was "porn" and "want to quit." either.
Two years have passed since then, and I have found a job at an ordinary company and am living as an ordinary office worker. I look back and wonder what those few days I spent in despair were all about.
Was it just a dream?
Recently, there was a drinking party at work. One of my seniors at work ordered to the waiter.
"Anyways, a beer for now!"
That horror came back to me vividly.
I know that some of you reading this may not have been involved in any extortion. That's why I want to write about it.
Anyways.
Let's get in touch and consult with them.
If you make up your mind to do so, I am sure a way will open up for you.
Please change your destiny.
To you, far away.
Be aware of this word.
And even if you have already signed it, don't blame yourself for having signed it "just for the sake of it."
It is a deceptive technique developed by criminals, and it is easy to fall for it even if you know how it works.
If you are the one who was spotted by a group of professional scammers, and if anyone blames you for pressing the seal, the one who blames you is wrong.
