Q: Prostitution in Wenzhou?
During my recent visit there, my QQ was bombarded with messages from call girls telling me to use a 9 digit number for their services. Whether I was relaxing in my hotel room or shopping in the mall, the incoming messages continued. I have never before seen this. It wasn't a phone number or qq number, but some kind of unique ID number. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this unique to Wenzhou? I just thought it was kind of curious.
This question, along with it's answers and comment is 5 years old (less a week). Iam wondering how it got here. I think someone (in someone's gov't) is fishing.

Yeah I clicked on it expecting to see a nonsense answer with a link to a dodgy website I'd never click on.
Didn't even get that. I'm guessing the new post was deleted by admin.
Sanya is bad for that too. we dont notice as much because were foreigners so the hookers generally try to stay away from us, But chinese get it bad. Maybe whatever resource they used to find you didnt let them know you were a foreigner.
Simply disable your QQ location services after cleaning the previous cache for 'Look around' if you want to avoid.
The prostitution industry has been out of business for now three months or so, since the new government needed to put on its little show and probably purge some opponents on the way.
Now its coming to an end (the crackdown stunts, not the prostitution indeed), probably girls are starting to come back from the village, but there's still a few weeks of shortfalls to be earned, expect advertising to be aggressive for a while.
After a little research, I see that Wenzhou is known for it's "ladies of the night", so the 9 digit code must apply to some local system they use to buy the services. They are definitely automated messages, so this is a high production system.

You'd come up with the same result if you research a lot of other cities in China :)

I have no doubt about that, but in all my traveling in China, I've yet to see a system as sophisticated as this. Usually it's just some ayi calling out to me, "want massage? beautiful girl? sex?". Perhaps this is the result, as KimOnach proposed, of the government actions on this type of thing.
