Collecting “Transport Money” From a Man and Disappearing is a Crime READ THIS
If you collect transport money from a man with the promise that you’re coming to see him, you fix a time, you agree to show up, and immediately after collecting the money you block him, disappear, or start giving deliberate excuses…
Legally, that is NOT cruise.
It is NOT packaging.
It is NOT “compensation for my time.”
It is a criminal offence called Obtaining by False Pretense.
The law says if you take money from someone based on a promise you never intended to fulfill,
you have deceived the person to part with their money. That deception is a crime.
It doesn’t matter if the amount is small.
It doesn’t matter if others are doing it.
It doesn’t matter if you call it “TP.”
If you had no intention of going, your chat, your agreement, and your request for transport money become evidence of fraudulent intent and yes
the person can make an official complaint.
The law can take it up.
You can be invited and if the evidence is clear, you can be charged.
Transport money is not “free money.”
It is money given based on an agreement.
Once that agreement is fake,
the collection becomes a crime.
