Scouts are now competing with each other on social networking sites.

The outing of the scout group “Access” has been all over the news. In the first place, introducing women to sex industry establishments is a violation of the Employment Security Law, and in Shinjuku, the act of scouting in public places is itself prohibited by ordinance. However, the number of scouts has not decreased, and the group continues to expand in size by recruiting members through social networking services. Access” has about 300 members and has made about 7 billion yen over the past five years.

Although street scouts are still active in the industry, which is supposed to be banned, many scouts have shifted their main battlefield to social networking sites, and they seem to be competing day and night to attract women.

Competition is intensifying due to saturation.

The traditional job of a scout is to call out to women on the street and introduce them to water and sex businesses, but recently the number of places to introduce women has been increasing.

Mr. W, an active scout, says , “The number of scouts is increasing, so we have to do something different to attract customers.

The number of scouts is saturated, and it is difficult for newcomers to find people. It is necessary to have an advantage that only you can mediate. For example, recently there are many women who are averse to having relationships with men, and adult-oriented agencies such as FANTIA are very popular, so you need to be strong in such projects.

Also, women who use scouts end up looking at “money. They place importance on “time and earning potential,” so scouts with introductions that allow them to earn money in a short period of time are strong.

(Mr. W) When you search for “scout” on X, you will find multiple accounts. It seems that the work to be introduced to a wide range of people is becoming more and more extensive, such as fan tier deals, AV appearances, introductions to delicatessen and soap operas, dating clubs, overseas migrant workers, and introductions to publishing companies for photo collections. In addition to these, the genres of introductions are further subdivided, and there are even scouts who specialize in a single field.

If you don’t “show that you have money,” you will be licked.

However, even those scouts who have a large number of referrals are sometimes competing with each other, and they sometimes pay out of their own pocket to attract women. Mr. Y, an active scout, says that he has been able to attract customers efficiently by using Amazon gifts and other methods.

He says, “I give out Amagifs to people who spread the word about my posts on X, etc., in order to increase the power of spreading the word. It’s the same reason why companies have drawings for giveaways that require people to ‘follow and repost. It is also a way of “showing that you are earning money” and that it will not hurt your pocketbook even if you have to pay this much.

If you need to get a woman who wants to earn money, but the scout does not have any money, you do not want to be introduced to a woman who might be too sensitive. This job is also over if you get licked by others. In the end, it’s all about appearance.

Some scouts will go out of their way to make up the difference if the amount of money they earn at the store they are introduced to is less than the guaranteed amount.

Let’s say you want to recruit someone under the condition that they can earn at least 100,000 yen a day at Store A. If a woman earns only 80,000 yen a day at Store A, she is guaranteed to earn at least 100,000 yen a day. If a woman earns only 80,000 yen, I will pay her 20,000 yen out of my own pocket. I judged, ‘If it is this woman, I can introduce her to Store A,’ and contacted the store, so I pay it to the store, separating it from the fact that my aesthetic sense was not good enough.

It could be called a study fee, but more than that, I don’t want the store to think I introduced a subtle woman, and the woman will think I lied to her, which will damage my credibility.

However, the reason scouts give out Amazon gifts and guarantee their services out of their own pocket is because they can make so much money. In the end, what they are doing is the same as human trafficking. While social networking sites can connect people who normally have no contact with each other, they can also be a gateway to crime, which is a major contributing factor to this kind of behavior.
