This Wasn’t a Delivery – It Was a Lure

This Wasn’t a Delivery — It Was a Lure

A Halloween night attempted setup using two phones

Halloween.

Southern California.

2–4 AM.

That’s predator hour.

Below is the exact sequence from my phone time-stamped showing how one person (Android/RCS) tried to get me to travel to San Bernardino at 02:08, and then a second person (iPhone/iMessage) came in at 03:41 with the same “do you make deliveries?” angle.

This is exactly how digital luring for potential physical or sexual harm looks when you save the receipts.

1) First phone (Android / RCS) — 02:08 → 03:04

Number: +1 (951) 842-0571

· Channel: Text Message • RCS

· Date: Saturday

(Note: phone status bar shows 04:57 when captured; convo times below are the ones that matter.)

02:08 — Opener

Caller: “Do you deliver to San Bernardino?”

No name. No verification.

Straight to location control.

02:24 — My positioning

Me (green): “I can be anywhere in the world for you.”

That’s me saying “possible” while establishing value.

I’m not saying “I’m cheap and bored.”

02:25 — Territory check

Caller: “So san bernardino works?”

He’s not asking what—he’s pushing where my body will be.

02:31 — Warm, still professional

Me: “Yes. How can I help you hero ?”

He still has to define the request.

02:31 — Product fish

Caller: “Do you have carts?”

Asking product before ID/deposit/menu = trying to get me on record.

02:34 — I control the product narrative

Me:

“I’m a big fan of the Cake Cartridges

super clean product. Porcelain coil.

Glass tank. Make in California”

I’m not a random runner; I’m a brand.

02:48 — Price poke

Caller: “How much for one?”

Trying to collapse everything into a late-night cheap pull-up.

I didn’t bite.

02:57 — My actual safety price

Me (green block):

Total

• $150 — leave event

• $75 — Halloween / Friday surge

• $65 — discreet pickup (age-restricted)

• $130 — SB delivery

• $50 — safety

• $20 — the cart itself

= $490

“$500 even and I’ll eat a cheeseburger in front of you too.”

I signaled I’m not isolated (leaving an event), I’m pricing risk (holiday surge), and I’m not arriving vulnerable (safety line item).

02:57 — The mask drops

Caller: “Wtf is wrong with you?”

Caller (again): “Weirdo”

No negotiation. Straight to insult. That’s not a buyer.

02:59 — I shut it down

Me: “Have a super night. I’m not door dash. You’re hiring an experience”

At 02:59 I also sent my booking graphic

(“BOOKING JADE ANN BYRNE… jadeannbyrne.com”).

Predators hate traceable women.

03:00 — Escalation to hate

Caller: “Yeah thats right stop textin weird ass”

Caller: “Faggot”

This is bias language after I refused unsafe terms. That’s what a failed setup sounds like.

03:04 — Final documentation

Me: “lol you know I carry right ? My whole thing is meeting people like you. That’s why it’s called a trap. Fuck around and find out :)”

(Delivered)

I’m stating I perceived a threat, I’m not easy prey, and this is a pattern I recognize.

2) Second phone (iPhone / iMessage) — 03:41 → 03:50

Number: +1 (951) 536-3914 · Channel: iMessage · Date: Saturday

The “friend” follow-up, same hour, same county, different device.

03:41 — Opener

Caller (blue): “Heyy I heard you made deliveries in SoCal?”

Same ask as the Android number. That’s coordination behavior.

03:41–03:46 — My boundary

Me (blue): “Send identification and deposit”

Verification first. Always.

03:50 — My high-risk/Halloween/100-mile rate

Me (blue block):

Total

• $300 — leave event

• $150 — Halloween / Friday surge

• $130 — discreet pickup (age-restricted)

• $260 — delivery (anywhere in the NWA / IE 100-mile zone)

• $100 — safety / solo-female courier

• $40 — the cart itself

= $980

“Call it $1,000 even and I smile, eat the cheeseburger in front of you, and pretend this was a reasonable ask on Halloween. 💅”

He never replied. Deposits and IDs create receipts. Predators don’t like receipts.

What this proves (and why I’m publishing it)

02:08 and 03:41 weren’t random. Android first, iPhone second, same county, same script = coordination.

Safety pricing flushed intent.

At 02:57 he flipped from “how much” to insults, then a slur at 03:00.

The mask dropped.

This is what luring looks like in real life.

“Hey u deliver?” → “come here” → rage when I price risk.

Saying I was at an event protected me.

“$150 — leave event” is code for witnesses and accountability.

This belongs on a nonprofit site.

Women, queer folks, and working moms get told “it was just a text.”

No. it was a failed setup and I kept the receipts.

If two different numbers ask the same thing in the same hour, assume you’re being location-tested.

Require ID + deposit. If they get mad, you were never safe. 💜
