Your might be right but if the guy trying to buy me free drinks was involved then I'm sure it would be no effort for a drunk person to answer any of their questions without even thinking.

Or if the free drink was drugged… good you didn’t accept the drink. I got dosed once - by someone I know, no less - and it was a very unpleasant experience. But you could be rather suggestible and not able to recall details of any conversation.

From someone who was legitimately drugged and raped, thanks.

GHB leaves your system pretty quickly. You’d have to get tested within 12 hours of it being ingested, and given the low rates of reporting rape…

> Most standard drug tests do not test for the presence of GHB in your system, and few people test positive for GHB, even when they have used it. Nonetheless, urine, blood, saliva, and hair tests have been developed to test for GHB. The below are detection times by body system:

>Urine tests are noninvasive and relatively affordable ways to test for GHB use. The detection window is short, however, only being able to detect a small amount of GHB in urine up to 12 hours after last use.

>Blood tests, while invasive, are the most common way to test for GHB use because they are highly accurate. Blood tests will only detect GHB use for up to eight hours after last use.

>Saliva tests are often used as a secondary test to confirm the accuracy of a urine test. Inexpensive and noninvasive, saliva tests are convenient ways to confirm GHB use for up to six hours after last use.

>Hair tests are less accurate than the other forms of drug testing for GHB, but they offer a much longer detection window of up to one month. Hair tests can be useful for testing victims of GHB-aided sexual assault who were unable to get one of the previous forms of drug tests conducted in time.

>In general, GHB is difficult to detect on drug tests because of the short detection windows and lack of accuracy of it showing up on each type test. In situations of overdose, medical professionals are often unaware that GHB has been ingested and don’t even think to test for it, as the use of other drugs that were also consumed, such as alcohol, is usually more obvious.

Bars are filled with a plethora of drunkards willing to offer lots of info. If done right you could get all your information in less than an hours time then trying to search the internet, silk road etc. for information. Not every criminal knows how to hack and go to the dark corners of the web, nor has the money to buy that info. This is an old grift and I think it still stands today.

You first came on this sub asking whether it was a grift or not. Now you seem to be an expert on this matter and telling us it happened.

​

Go look up crimes in DC reported by DC MPD related to PII. I know DC bar/restaurant owners, DC MPD and DC crimes pretty well and nothing of this sort ever happens. Every bar/restaurant is equipped with video cameras and required to provide video to DC MPD. You were most likely, as I noted before, being fucked around with.

Go ahead and file a police report if you really believe it (Honestly, do it if you 100% believe it...you have every right and the sooner you report, the more likely they will get video). And post any other examples of this alleged scam happening. I will guarantee the police officer/detective will laugh in your face. My first response was upvoted by many as it is true.

​

Also, credit card companies/banks/etc now have such good anomaly detection alert reporting that they would probably get denied the first purchase they make.

But go ahead and file the report. I hope I'm wrong.
