I went in to one once for a wholly unrelated issue than a massage (I wanted to talk about the back alley behind the shop) and the lady there barely spoke English and started getting feely which really startled me so I left.
Then I googled it and found out 100% of the Asian ones are prostitution fronts. Some do use human trafficking too.
The only legitimate massage places are not associated with anything Asian. They usually call themselves spas or anything but "massage parlor".
If they're Asian and in a run down place, bet money they're shady.
It sucks that you had to experience that, that sounds really unsettling.
I'm wary to agree with the 100% figure unless you're going to source it to something, but just a quick search definitely showed me that it's a big problem. Public awareness seems to be the biggest issue with preventing these in America. I'm surprised the media aren't reporting on it a lot more, but then again, a lot of the articles I read were from two/three years ago. I wonder how many steps are being taken to prevent these from continuing to operate.
