Someone should develop a subscription based service and application that would provide an efficient, structured mini-workflow on a cellphone to gather details around dates (eg Prepagos, SBs), places (address and room numbers), and encounters. For example, it would ask you to take and upload a high quality selfie / ID photo of the individual; photograph the front and back of their cedula; capture screenshot of their social media and / or dating site profile; cellphone number and emergency contact information which it would text and await a confirmation. It would also capture where you plan to entertain the individual and the details of the portero or front desk person working. And timing of planned encounters, requiring you to "close your flight plan" afterwards and, if you fail to do so by a predetermined time, inundate you with texts and, failing a response with a correct passphrase, calling the police or a private security team and a private medical service to visit you.

It could also provide real-time instructions / protocols for defeating common strategems. (For example, after drinks have been poured, switching them twice or thrice (indicated by the app) in front of the girl, and / or cross contaminating them with a syringe or spoon and inviting the guest to drink first with a timer function to see whether they conk out before drinking yours.) The service could also rent out small GPS tracking devices, a dye pack attached to your laptop and valuables bag, motion detectors connected to a high intensity alarm (to do a soft impound of the guest's phone, placed underneath the detector that could only be deactivated with a code that you know, without triggering the audio alarm); and SIM or wi-fi enabled, velcro-attached motion-activated surveillance camera outside the door. ("Antes de entrar, vamos a tomar why enviar un fotico a mi empresa de seguridad privada. Sonrisa! A panic button on the app could be used to communicate to the service that the previously registered encounter is going south and then lock the app. The user would then need to provide a correct passphrase in a video call in order to opt out of an armed, motorcycle-dispatched security response.

It would also be useful find out whether there is a simple lab test for Scopolamine to test a suspect drink.

My guess is that visitors to a place such as Medellin would pay good money for such a subscription and that additional features of this application would also do wonders for other corners of the global personal services industry (possibly to used by by outcall providers as well). Even a greatly simplified minimum viable product of all this might be adequate to defeat most threats.

There is a lot of great IT and call centre talent in Medellin. This would be a great use of their talents.

The address is posted several times in the section. You only need to past it into the map website or application of your choice for a street view and walking directions.

I have bin trying to find this place, with no luck. Can you help me with a pointer to a girl who works there?

Thanks.

Hmm, maybe I should check this out.

Thanks! The Andrea Restrepo is definitely fake. Don't fall for it guys!

I'm assuming there was no safety box in the apartment, or if there was, it had a physical key versus being electric?

It does not matter. Look at The Lock Picking Lawyer on youtube and he will show you how easy most safes are to get into. A lot of them can be opened simply with a magnet. Others just by hitting it with your fist while turning the knob.

FYI there is a lower cost, less restrictive casa just next door to Energy. I don't believe it has a name and they no longer do line ups. The girls work off mileroticos and similar web sites, by appointment. How much less than Energy, almost half at 90 K / half four + any extra you can think of.

Did the younger guy give you any details on him being drugged?

Not much. He said he was dating the girl off and on and when he told her he was thinking of ending it with her she got upset and a night or two later she drugged him. He woke up without his passport and laptop. He knew the girl decently well it seemed.

Where were you staying? Was there security there?

He mentioned in another post there was no doorman, just needed the keys to get out.

I just want to help ensure everyone is safe and this goes beyond any concerns of personal embarrassment, at least for me. The success of those that drug is based on people not reporting and the cops doing nothing. The more that this is reported, the less successful they will be. And I agree with others that the attempts will become much more prevalent in the future given the economy unless the Medellin politicians and police are forced to do something (ie be tougher on those committing these crimes). Right now it's a slap on the wrist in Colombia whereas I believe date rape / drugging is a serious felony in the US. I mean, several individuals have died from it so you could also charge with attempted murder.

Getting to your questions. There were a series of filing cabinets with locks that I used to put my computer, money, CCs, and ID in. I then put the locks in 3 different places. Since I was out for a long period of time they found two of these keys and took items. Unfortunately these two areas had most of my stuff. I also hid some money and IDs in inserts for my shoes. This they did not find and is what I used to get back on my feed. Along with help from friends in Melling.

They did take the Passport, which is a pain in the ass to replace. I needed to fly to Bogota and get an Emergency Passport with the US Embassy. While I was there I met another guy (younger kid) who had also been drugged in Medellin and doing the same. The US Embassy was relatively efficient about it. I entered the Embassy at 9:30 am and had a Passport by 2:30 pm that day and flew out late that night. The thing that was frustrating is that they didn't seem to care much that I had been the victim of a serious crime (assault and battery). I asked to speak with an official there and they said they were aware of Paul's murder, and increasing crime, but there was not much they could do and that it was entirely up to me to follow up with the Medellin Police. I was not expecting a lott of hand holding, but the US has historically given Colombia a tremendous amount of aid annually ($500M to $1B) and accepted HUGE numbers of immigrants each year. I thought we'd have more influence.

Hello all!

I was in Medellin pre covid and had a great time. Met some girls in parque lleras and off photoprepagos. Stayed at an Airbnb. Never had any trouble. Going back now in a few weeks and I notice a lot of people say they met girls via Facebook? I have not done that and would love to know how / where to start. Also concerned about all the issues with crime. I think I should be fine as it's me and another guy friend. We never go anywhere alone, don't get get hammered drunk and watch our drinks, don't do drugs. We do have an Airbnb again by lleras not a hotel but all the reviews mention it being pretty secure. Any advice from recent travelers or advice on the Facebook angle would be appreciated!

Sounds like you figured it all out, when is your next trip and what will you be doing differently?

Any day of the week I would rather be paranoid than drugged and robbed. Is it possible new drugs and methods can emerge? IDK, but bottom line, know the rules of the game before you roll the dice. More rules you know, greater the chances of winning. Any game where the loser ends up drugged / robbed / maybe even dead- is a game I want my odds as high as possible. To each their own though.

Sounds like a good strategy for russian roulette! Keep playing with the best odds possible so you can tempt fate and procreate.

Is it addiction, instinct, suicidal tendency? Any card carrying psychologists here? Ha ha ha.
