AIBU to think I won’t be a gumtree murder statistic?

[Hiphopopotamus]

My big question here - will I get murdered?

My back is full of tension and I’m desperate for a massage but also incredibly skint, so I googled 'free massages'. I found myself on gumtree where I found an offer for a free one hour deep tissue massage in exchange for a review. It looks to be at a business address - ie, not someone's house and it explicitly says that it's a Male masseuse looking for serious people and that it is absolutely not a sexual service!

I've emailed and arranged to go next week - but is this insane?? It's a free massage found on gumtree so I obviously have many concerns. But if it's legitimate it's a really good offer. Just to say I am female and (usually) very streetwise and cautious!

So AIBU to think that I can turn up for a free massage with no risk of murder? 😂

What time was it?

She won't be back, she'll be in a fritzl basement by now.

Surely OP has had plenty of time now, to go by the place to check it out first?

oooh today's the day!

Are you still going OP?? Have you scared up a friend to supervise?

I haven't read all 9 pages so someone's probably already said but just take someone else with you just incase, he could just be a weirdo that wants to touch random people for his own pleasure or maybe he's perfectly normal, who knows

Did you live?

I'll be anxiously awaiting an update tonight op. Best of luck

OPs lack of response is concerning....!

Do we need to inform the authorities?

Well this is worrying

Op don't leave us hanging if you're alive, you know we're all wondering if you're handcuffed to his massage table.

Placemarking for murder / Pervy McSleeze update.

I’m sorry to disappoint those waiting for my imminent demise but I bottled it and cancelled! Partly because I’m feeling really poorly with a hacking cough and partly because I just got too nervous.

I realise this is a terribly boring end to the thread so let me know if you’d like me to make up an alternative ending where I went, was handcuffed to the massage table, then just as the axe was falling, I made my daring escape. I’m happy to stretch my creative writing muscles!

Just glad you are still alive !

@Hiphopopotamus I'm both disappointed & elated. Disapplated?

Just glad you’re ok OP
If you are infact the OP?......

How do we know this isn't in fact weird creepy massage guy posing as the OP to throw us off the scent 🤔

Waves to weird, creepy massage guy

I for one am just glad that you weren't brutally murdered 😊👍

You bottled it! Will you be making another appointment?!

Haha I am not creepy massage guy (though I suppose I would say that if I was creepy massage guy)

I don’t think I will be rearranging - this was possibly one of my more stupid ideas!

I’m both gutted you cancelled but also relieved? More gutted though lol

ahhh you saw sense!

find the nearly qualified students at the local beauty college instead, much safer.
