Honey trapping From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses of the phrase honey trapping, see Honeypot. Honey trapping is the private investigative practice of evaluating the fidelity of partners in marital and nonmarital romantic relationships. Investigators are employed by wives, husbands, and other partners usually when an illicit romantic affair is suspected of the "target", or subject of the investigation.[1] Occasionally the term may be used for the practice of creating an affair for the purpose of taking incriminating photos for use in blackmail. A honey trap is primarily used to get evidence. In a typical honey trap a private investigator will approach the spouse of a client and attempt to flirt with them. This flirtation will only go as far as exchanging contact information, and then the investigator will leave and use the information to try to set up a date. The interaction is recorded by another private investigator and, if a second date is set up, footage of the spouse getting stood up will also be taken. This footage can be used to measure a spouse’s willingness to cheat on their spouse, and as evidence of the faithfulness of one’s partner. Many honey trapping services are now a growing phenomenon in western countries and are being used mostly by female clients with regards to their husbands.[2] There is a phenomena that the practice of honey trapping began in Los Angeles in 1988 and migrated towards Southwest Florida.

There are multiple agencies, including Honey Trap USA. Once a case is submitted, a consultant will initiate contact if they accept the job. There can be options when choosing an agent. Each agent consists of a different personality type, physical appearance, background, etc. Considering what the spouse will be most attracted to is a factor in choosing a specific type of agent. Once an agent is chosen, a consultation will take place with the investigator and the spouse seeking to hire them. Details regarding the relationship and the specific case will be discussed to conduct a plan and a budget to best fit the client's needs. This process can be overwhelming, but it has the possibility of putting your fears at ease or challenge you to approach the problems in your relationship.[4]

During the Investigation[edit source | edit] Each assignment varies depending on what the agent and client decided on during their prior consultant. A common assignment consists of the agent initiating contact with the subject through face-to-face interaction. The agent will attempt to take the communication further into other outlets including: e-mail, text messaging, phone calls, etc. The step after this can be considered the most crucial moment of the assignment. Whether or not the subject agrees to further communication will determine whether the assignment will go deeper or come to an end. The agent will propose a second meeting to the subject. Hotels are often used as a meeting place, not for sexual intercourse, but to determine whether the subject intends for the relationship to escalate. Once the investigation comes to an end, the agent will turn over any record of communication they had with the subject. Other documents that are recorded include: photographs, videos, venue appointments, etc.

Monetary Background[edit source | edit] The owner of Expedite Detective Agency gives insight to the monetary fees and procedures that contribute to the honey trapping act.[5] He, Richard Martinez, says it costs $588 for an integrity test alone. Audio and video evidence is taken to determine the whether or not the suspect is indeed having an affair. The hourly rate to hire a private investigator ranges from $40-$100. If the agent is acquired from overseas, the hourly rate can be as high as $300. This estimated rate does not include mileage rate, which is usually $0.45 a mile. [6]

Hgurie2, MariaConnolly, and Pwells5, leave your draft here for now, but after the peer review you need to move it to Pwells5's sandbox. If you look at the two tabs up top on the left, you will see "User Page" which will take you all to Pwells5's sandbox.

I think it is sort of organized, but it could be better. Maybe you could talk about the prices of the agents when you explain what their job is so that it flows better. I don’t think there is anything unnecessary. Everything seemed on topic. I think that maybe you could include the perspectives of the wife/husband that is being tested. Like how if they found out that their spouse was interrogating them, how it made them feel. You could also include how the agents felt about their job, whether they thought it was justified or if they were just doing it for the money.

I think that the author was neutral because the whole article is just defining Honey Trapping. They did not make claims on behalf of unnamed groups/people. I do not think it focuses on any negatives or positives of Honey trapping. The article is mainly just about what it is, and how to do it. I think they should include some negatives/positives and different perspectives.

The links, references, and citations do not work. It shows that you tried to link it, but none of them actually activated. On Moodle there is a “cheat-sheet” document that shows you how to do all the links and citations.

I have never heard of Honey Trapping and I think this article does a great job of explaining what it is and how the process works. I think if they added some examples or different perspectives it would make it more interesting and also so that the audience can see both sides of this topic. Another important thing that you could add is how this is considered a feminist topic. I don’t really see any similarities between our articles. SydneyNicole123 (talk) 15:03, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
