I was visiting Dallas a few years ago and avoided the strip clubs after reading the reviews. They're pretty awful places.

> should have a drug screen d

It was last Saturday. I've spent the last week struggling just to get through work. I can spend tomorrow getting that stuff lined up. Thanks for the advice man, it makes me feel a little better with everyone saying to file a report.

Talk to the police and consult a lawyer.

That's like the definition of being coerced. So this is definitely important information for the police and the credit card company.

Also the part about where you thought you didn't want any problems and had better just pay? Please emphasize it.

Important information for the police report.

Based on the reviews of almost every club in Dallas, it's not a new issue. I remember one guy saying the bouncer mugged him in the parking lot.

Yeah. Tell them that you're disputing the charges as you have reason to believe that the club drugged you and robbed you.

A police report should be filed and you should have a drug screen done on yourself. If it's been past 3 days, ask for a hair follicle test. It'll cost you, but it'll show anything you've taken in the past 3 months +

~OP definitely.

What in the fuck?

This is all insane.

A foole and his monie be soone at debate,

Which after with sorrow repents him too late.

~OP probably.

>. Especially since the cc has a vested interest in catching and stopp

I did make that call, and there was nothing they could do about it without more info. They told me they needed the item/service that was purchased. I don't even know what was purchased, but I do remember something about a service fee for the girls maybe? I can call them back and see if that would be enough but sounds sketch.

Commenting for update!

I definitely don't want anyone else to have to be going through what we're dealing with so it absolutely needs to be stopped. I just thought going to the police wouldn't do anything since I "technically" agreed to everything. Which I also remember them having to get a video recording of me stating my name and that I was NOT intoxicated because that charge was over 10k. I can guarantee anyone that watches that video can see that wouldn't have been true.

No snacks are safe

Own up to it and tell him it was you and say his lucky he didn't want throw any hands that day

Call your cc company and talk to them. They probably have way more experience with this sort of thing than your local police do. Especially since the cc has a vested interest in catching and stopping fraud/ theft.

That's interesting, because it's probably more likely that your old classmates remember how you used to ditch class and hide away, over the awkward/embarassing moments.

I would play it off like you did it as a joke.

You're a victim. Think of how kids at parties take drugs. They don't go to jail. You don't still have drugs. If you buy bad drugs and get harmed the dealer goes down, not you who took the drugs.

Honesty I'd be impressed! It's good to know that in a serious situation the systems work as they should. I like the idea of joking about it but also double down on how great your workplace safety is haha! Better to be cold and wet than chemical burned

Yeah, but I mean, I was the one who took them. To me, that means I'm involved in the whole thing would it not?

Sounds like you were in the right (other than the finger flip, which you should never do). FYI, if you have credentials, marketable skills, and are a good worker, the world is your oyster.

Talk to the police. This is extortion. You can't consent to anything when you're drugged or intoxicated (forced signature that was coerced so null and void) and it's potentially even kidnapping or holding you against your will since they refused to let your ride take you out. No promises but they likely did something wrong here. Not to mention there were drugs. You partook but you likely have immunity to any charges by not possessing any and being a victim like basically how a kid at a party would be. Take them out and reveal the scam. Tell the police literally everything you know and get the other people to do so as well. This is a problem and people could be harmed here. They could be trafficking. Who knows? It's a bad club that needs to get raided. Just imagine there's bad drugs and someone dies, or someone doesn't pay.

There's nothing you can do? You believe that they're selling drugs and you can't think of anything legally that you could do?
