Sex trafficking? Highly unlikely. A scam? Certainly.

That's what the Alabama sheriff (identified in the article) called it, sex trafficking scam.

Bailey-Ferguson told her boyfriend about the mysterious text message. The boyfriend looked it up online and learned similar texts with the photo of the same woman had been flagged by the sheriff's office in Butler County, Alabama.

"Wanted to let everyone know that if you receive a text message or a message on Facebook that looks like the one in this post please do not respond or agree to meet these people," the Butler County Sheriff's Office stated in a Facebook post.

"These people are apparently trying to lure people so they can take them for sex trafficking. Please do not meet with these people," the post further states.

Yes - but that doesn't make it so. It's not a "sex trafficking" scam - it's a scam to try to get someone to join a website (albeit, an "adult" website).

Law enforcement has been known to "get it wrong" in the past...
