A woman has issued a safety warning after claiming that she was targeted by an alleged sex trafficking tactic that was carried out at a gas station.
Texan Sara Gonzales, who is a YouTube creator, right-wing commentator, and Blaze TV host, declared in a one-minute clip that she had a ‘PSA for all the ladies out there.
Her fears
‘Twice in the last month, I have been approached by two different men, in two different cities, at two different gas stations, asking me for help with their credit card at the gas pump,’ she continued.
Sara admitted with the ‘first one,’ she ‘actually’ made an effort to try and explain how to ‘just put your credit card in, and when it tells you to remove it, you remove it.’
But she alleged that verbal instructions weren’t ‘good enough’ for the man, and he went on to ask her ‘to follow him over to his car, so I could physically show him how to do it.’
Realities of sex trafficking
‘What grown-a** adults do you know, who owns a car, who doesn’t understand how you use your credit card to get gas?’ Sara exclaimed incredulously.
She then went on to add that she spoke to ‘my friend who actually fights sex trafficking with his organization.’
The right-wing media personality claimed her unnamed friend at the unspecified organization confirmed to her: ‘Yes, this is happening to women at gas stations at an accelerated rate.’

She added that he implied that ‘not only is the trafficking happening, but, of course, other, you know, robberies, theft, things of that nature.’
‘Because we’re women and we’re obviously more vulnerable. So keep your head on a swivel, watch your six, always be locked and loaded,’ Sara concluded.
‘And be careful out there, ladies.’
It’s worth noting that social media is rife with conspiracy theories around the realities of sex trafficking – with many tossing inflammatory and alarming rumors into the churn of online discourse for likes and follows instead of spreading truthful information to help fight what is unquestionably a real and horrifying problem.
