Similar has been reported already here and in the papers.
[QUOTE=RebelLeader;2315090]So I fell for African scam today. Been coming to Dubai for years. Often met girls from bars and in massage place with no problems.
Got chatting via tinder with a 'Malaysian' girl. Got WhatsApp and she sent me photos including a short video.
Went to see in Deira. (First red flag which I didn't notice). No way would an Asian girl stay in Deira.
Arrived at location. Went up and door opens. Walk in. See African woman and then 3 others hiding behind the door.[/QUOTE]Here is a link I have shared a while back:

It seems that the victim of the scam was not arrested, or prosecuted for seeking massage. At worse, I think that you would get arrested only if the deed is performed I. E. A woman giving a massage to a man in an unauthorized venue, even so the burden is on the owner or at least the provider.
Good that you guys got away with it. The issue is that such situations can be dangerous, not from the authorities but from the gangs themselves.
For all chocolate lovers there's a dedicated thread and a small fan based that could help. I for myself used to maintain a list of providers, and as of recently I met a few thanks to AmRev in Tecom with different level of service and killer bodies. One is still around looking for clients so anyone willing let us know.
Stay safe.
