Pimps advertise their services online

MALAYSIA: Pimps have come out of the dark alleys and become cyber savvy. They advertise the services of the women they reporesent on their websites. The ads come with a disclaimer saying that the rates charged  are for companionship only, reveals Asia One. 

The women are lured in from other countries by the pimps and their henchmen by promising them respectable jobs. The poor and gullible women get trapped and are forced into servicing their clients till they are able to pay back the henchmen who charge them money to get them there from their home towns.

The women are paid only 10 per cent of what the clients are charged, hence it takes them a long time to pay their debts.
