The influencer admitted she laughed it off at the time CLOSE CALL I was nearly trafficked from my Cyprus hotel – here's the signs you might miss, I never realised women work with them AN INFLUENCER has urged holiday goers to be careful after she realised she was almost trafficked from the restaurant of her Cyprus hotel. Summer Fox, who boasts 764k followers on TikTok, shared the story of how she was potentially almost trafficked along with her friends, but admitted she had no idea at the time. 2 Summer explained her strange experience, which she thought could've been a plot to traffic her and her mates Credit: Supplied 2 She shared the signs she missed at the time Credit: Supplied In the viral video, Summer said she had forgotten all about the bizarre incident until she watched a documentary, which brought all of their memories back. According to Summer, about four years ago she was staying in a posh hotel just outside of Ayia Napa with two of her friends. The trio ate at the fine dining restaurant inside the hotel a few nights in a row, and each time they noticed a girl sat on her own all glammed up. Summer recalled that the girl would make eye contact with her friends, before texting on her phone again. At the time, the friends didn't think much of it, and even joked that the girl must've fancied one of them because of how often she was looking at them. Soon after, the girl got up from her table and approached Summer and her friends to invite them to a party that night. "She was trying to convince us [to go to the party] but we said no a few times," Summer explained. Eventually, the girl, who was glammed up in a sparkly dress and a full face of makeup, went back to her table and continued to text someone. Summer admitted that they still didn't think much about the situation, other than it being "a bit awkward and weird." But then one of Summer's friends chimed in to say it could be a human trafficking plot, an idea that Summer and her other friend thought was "ridiculous" at the time. Inside romance scam target lonely singles on dating apps but what they don't know is if we die Then, when the group left the restaurant the suspicious girl was waiting for them, and urged them to come to a party with them, even telling them there was a taxi waiting outside. At this point, Summer said the girl looked pretty stressed out and annoyed as she continued to text someone. Luckily, the group didn't see the girl again and didn't think much about the encounter until Summer watched a documentary which felt eerily similar. In the documentary, Summer explained a glam woman also approached a girl in a bar, befriended her and then took her to another location, paid for all of her drinks and then drugged her and took her to a group of men who trafficked her. "When I saw that I just thought 'oh my f***ing god' that was definitely the case," Summer said. To make things even worse, Summer admitted that if her "more cautious friend" wasn't there and if the strange woman was "a better actress" she might've gone with her. After sharing her story some TikTok users agreed with Summer that it could've been a human trafficking plot she narrowly avoided. One commented: "People don't take trafficking seriously enough. It's so horrible." "This happened to me and my friends in Marbella," someone else wrote. And a third said they experienced something similar in Vegas, but didn't hang around to find out where it went. "Me and my cousin almost got trafficked in Gran Canaria! Two women approached us, we didn't realise until we got home then in clicked. So scary," someone else said.

Human trafficking involves the recruitment or movement of people for exploitation by the use of threat, force, fraud, or the abuse of vulnerability. Trafficking is a crime that can occur across international borders or within a country. It often crosses multiple geographic and legal boundaries. Men, women and children may be trafficked for various purposes. They include labour sectors (for example, agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, services), domestic servitude, forced begging and petty theft and sexual exploitation. Individuals who have been trafficked are likely to experience multiple physical and mental health risks prior to, during and after their trafficking experiences, and many suffer acute and long-term health problems. Health consequences of human trafficking may include injuries, physical pain and illnesses, and sexual health problems. They may also include mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, psychosis and post-traumatic stress disorder. Women trafficked for sexual exploitation and domestic servitude report high levels of sexual violence. Men and women report high levels of symptoms of sexually transmitted infections. Source:

I'm a Canadian living in the UK - these are the common British sayings I find hilarious
A Canadian man living in the UK has revealed the common British sayings that he finds amusing. Matt Giffen, 29, moved to London last year after relocating from his home country with his girlfriend, influencer Summer Fox. Matt, who is also a TikToker and has 340,000 followers on the platform, has since documented himself trying out everything the British capital has to offer - from sampling a roast dinner to visiting Big Ben and other landmarks in the city. Now, in his latest installment of analysing the nuances of British culture, the TikToker has revealed his top list of hilarious sayings - many of which wouldn't bat a Brit's eyelid. Introducing his line up of comedic phrases, he began with 'a few sandwiches short of a picnic', a phrase typically used to denote a person who is lacking in intelligence. 'First up, a few sandwiches short of a picnic. I've been seeing this comment a lot on my videos recently,' he said in the clip. 'They'll say he's so jokes but also a few sandwiches short of a picnic. What do you mean by that? Because I feel like you don't want to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic.' Matt then moved onto the second on his list. 'Number two, like butter wouldn't melt - I've never heard this in my life until my girlfriend said it yesterday. 'She showed me a picture of this girl she went to school with and said she used to be the biggest bully of all time and now she's like 'butter wouldn't melt'.' Matt admitted that he initially believed this meant that she was 'untouchable or something', but soon realised it's true meaning, which most Brits understand to be that someone can look innocent but be the opposite in reality. 'I probably won't be using that one in my vocabulary ever, that one sucks,' he laughed. Third on the list was a phrase often used by Brits to describe feeling hungry - or 'Hank Marvin' as the slang goes. The TikToker recalled first hearing it at a friends house and being completely dumbfounded by it's meaning. 'I was at my buddy's house the other day and his roommate walked in the room and was like 'Mate, I'm Hank Marvin', and I thought, I could have sworn his name was Tom. And then it came out that it just means that you're hungry and starving,' he said. Lastly, the Canadian content creator shared his fourth phrase, which was 'The dog's b******'. Matt said: 'This a classic, all time legendary geezer quote that I hear almost every time in the pub, I'm not even kidding.' 'I think it just means, the dog's balls - I don't know why that's a good thing but that is definitely one that I will be saying myself.' According to Cambridge Dictionary, the phrase is used for something that is 'extremely good', and signifies a compliment. It's the second in a series of videos where Matt has shared the British slang 'that makes me laugh'. A previous video in the series revealed an additional selection of Matt's favourite British slang words or phrases. Those included the phrase 'f***y's your aunt', which Brits used to signify something that's straightforward or simple to understand. He also recalled hearing someone be described as a 'daft cow', which he said 'it's safe to assume you do not want to be a daft cow'. Commenters were in stitches after watching the video, with several adding classic British idioms that would likely leave a foreigner stumped. One of those was 'as useful as a chocolate teapot or chocolate fire guard'. Another pointed to 'water off a duck's back', another popular slang phrase. Having lived in the UK for a year, Matt has several times shared his thoughts on the differences between British and Canadian lifestyles. In one video, he revealed the things he most dislikes about living in the country. Commenters were in stitches after watching the video, with several adding classic British idioms that would likely leave a foreigner stumped 'As a Canadian in the UK, these are the things I dislike about living in London,' Matt said, in a video that racked up more than 500,000 views on TikTok. The first thing on Matt's list is that, in his opinion, there's 'not a very warm culture' in the UK, adding 'and that's just the truth'. He said that conversations just consist of people asking 'you alright?' and answering 'yeah okay'. Matt said: 'As a Canadian, personally, that is a big struggle for me. I'm used to walking to the park and smiling at people. I did that once, and a guy told me to "sod off".' His second reason was perhaps unsurprising, as he lamented that the 'weather here sucks'. After enjoying a couple of days of springtime sunshine, Matt said he'd begun to look forward to the summer after experiencing a chilly winter. But his girlfriend, who is British, soon stopped him in his tracks to explain that's 'not how it works here.' Next up was Matt's 'constant anxiety' about getting his phone stolen while out walking anywhere in London. As an influencer, he explained, it is his job to 'wander around the city aimlessly and wave my phone around'. He joked: 'Do you not think that phone thieves are licking their f***ing chops when they see Matt walking down a street in London?' He also explained he'd had difficulty grasping just how 'huge' the city actually is, saying that it takes him over an hour and a half to see some of his friends - despite them living in the same city.

I'm a Canadian living in London and these are all the things I dislike about the UK
A Canadian man living in London has revealed all the things he doesn't like about the British capital. Matt Giffen, 29, moved to the capital last year after relocating from his home country with his girlfriend, influencer Summer Fox. Matt, who is also a TikToker and has 330,000 followers on the platform, has since documented himself trying out everything London has to offer - from sampling a roast dinner to visiting Big Ben and other city landmarks. But although he said he 'loves' the public transport and how there's always 'something to do', there are certain aspects of life in the UK that he's found more difficult. 'As a Canadian in the UK, these are the things I dislike about living in London,' Matt said, in a video that racked up more than 500,000 views on TikTok. The first thing on Matt's list is that, in his opinion, there's 'not a very warm culture' in the UK, adding 'and that's just the truth'. He said that conversations just consist of people asking 'you alright?' and answering 'yeah okay'. Matt said: 'As a Canadian, personally, that is a big struggle for me. I'm used to walking to the park and smiling at people. I did that once, and a guy told me to "sod off".' His second reason was perhaps unsurprising, as he lamented that the 'weather here sucks'. After enjoying a couple of days of springtime sunshine, Matt said he'd begun to look forward to the summer after experiencing a chilly winter. But his girlfriend, who is British, soon stopped him in his tracks to explain that's 'not how it works here.' 'And then I remembered that last year in July I was wearing my winter jacket,' Matt said. Next up was Matt's 'constant anxiety' about getting his phone stolen while out walking anywhere in London. As an influencer, he explained, it is his job to 'wander around the city aimlessly and wave my phone around'. He joked: 'Do you not think that phone thieves are licking their f***ing chops when they see Matt walking down a street in London?' He also explained he'd had difficulty grasping just how 'huge' the city actually is, saying that it takes him over an hour and a half to see some of his friends - despite them living in the same city. Finally, he told his followers that the 'cost of living in London is mental', and it's not just about the rent. Matt said that a two-bedroom home had recently gone on sale in his neighbourhood for a whopping £800,000 - and even this is relatively cheap for London standards. 'What are we talking about!' he exclaimed. 'I would love to live in London long-term, but it ain't going to happen. I'm moving my ass to St Albans, I'll tell you that for free.' Concluding his video, Matt even said he had such a long list of things he dislikes that he's hoping to make a second video to reveal them all. Matt admitted he and his girlfriend, Summer, eventually want to settle down in Canada. Summer wrote underneath his video: 'We are having kids in Canada for sure.' Rushing to the comments, most people agreed with Matt but advised him to leave London if he wanted to see a different side to the UK. One person said: 'London is a cesspit, it 's great for a day out of shopping, eating, socialising etc… head outside of the M25 and everything is much nicer.' Rushing to the comments, most people agreed with Matt but advised him to leave London if he wanted to see a different side to the UK 'Everywhere outside of London is much friendlier! London is miserable!'; 'Even most UK people hate going to London! I avoid it like the plague.' However, one Brit duly noted: 'To be fair if random people were smiling at me, I'd be scared - guess that's growing up in London.' In another video, Matt revealed all the things he does like about living in England's capital city, including the transport links and being able to book cheap flights. Matt, who lives in Zone 2, said he'd recently booked a flight to Spain for just £14, and said 'not once' in his experience has a tube or bus been delayed. He also admits he's 'jealous' of the sense of identity that British people have, such as 'cheeky Nandos', Sunday roasts and Chinese takeaways. He said everyone he's been around says the 'same things' and watches the same TV shows - and even dress the same. When Matt first tried a Sunday roast, he was left more than impressed. After trying each element on his plate, Matt was amazed with the taste. He said: 'I can see why you have this every Sunday now.'
