Possible it was a sting but much more likely you were just being scammed. I guess depends on the country but in the US it is not illegal to pay someone to hang

Possible it was a sting but much more likely you were just being scammed. I guess depends on the country but in the US it is not illegal to pay someone to hang out with you. Idk how they would try and prosecute you after you said "sure I'll pay you but I'm not paying for sex I'm paying for you to have dinner with me"
