Identifying a Honeypot Setup

A honey trap or honeypot is a type of decoy often used in romantic connections or friendships to lure targets into controlled environments for manipulation and exploitation.

They use  love and close connections because this is one of the easiest ways to infiltrate and access information.

Here are some signs to look out for when dealing with a honeytrap

1.       They seem to know way more about you than they should

You might try to write it off as a spiritual connection or synchronicity, but something won’t feel right. When you interact with them something will feel cold, off, or set up.

Typically they know a lot about you through surveillance and information through private networks.

Conversations with a honey trap flow differently. It may feel like you’ve know them your entire life or like somehow they know everything about you or understand you. However, something will feel uncanny.

If you’re dealing with a honeytrap that uses advanced methods they may have been trained in remote viewing, astral projection, dream infiltration, psychological manipulation, hypnotism, neuro linguistic programming, and more.

It is also not uncommon some honey traps manipulate the psyche through psychic means. Often times through the use of substances, divination, rituals, and occult manipulations. This may make the target feel disorientated or confused as to what is going on.

Esoteric, mystical, and allusive honeytraps are the best ones used for delicate operations.

The more a honey trap can capture your imagination, get you to question your reality, and most importantly get you to trust them. The easier it is for them to execute what they are trying to do.

2.       Lovebombing

All honeytraps will lovebomb you at the beginning. In some cases, they will imply that you are a long lost friend or love.

However, the most important thing to do with a honeytrap is to pay attention to their actions. Their actions will almost never match with their words or story.

Honey traps are masters of persuasion and may even make you start to feel guilty for questioning them.

Most honeytraps will live double lives and a lot of things that won’t make sense.

Some may even have fake identities. If you find it feels uncomfortable to ask them critical questions about say their education, upbringing, or daily life, this is a good indicator they are concealing their intentions.

3.       Honey traps will try to get you to break your boundaries.

This could be something as small as not kissing on the first date to something as large as breaking the law. The reason for this is the more you break your boundaries for a honeytrap the more vulnerable you become. Depending on the type of honeytrap you’re dealing with this may also give them information for blackmail.

If you do not give in to what they want you to do they will imply you are boring, not cool, not in the know, and underserving to the finer things in life, including a relationship with them.

These tactics may be either overt or subtle.

From an outsider’s perspective, this may seem like an easy thing to identify, but when you’re in the middle of it can cause extreme pressure and confliction.

4. Honeytraps will always triangulate.

Your relationship and friendship will never just involve you two. There will either be side characters such as exs and questionable friends or outside things you have to take part in to be with them. These side characters are used to push you further into the trap and cause a feeling of instability. With so may factors playing out it’s easier to miss the key things at hand. Usually these side characters are used to gain compliance and to normalize abnormal situations.

5. Honey traps will ghost you suddenly and abruptly then make a sudden reappearance in your life.

This is often times because they are taking care of other business such as triangulating you or going back to the drawing board. In other cases, it could be because they are trying to regain more control of the situation through causing instability.

6. Another common trait of honeypots is an overconfidence and a grand disposition.

They may have the appearance a very glamour lifestyle. Even coming off as rule breakers or outsiders. However, the real way honeytraps they support their lifestyle is far different than what they’re presenting to you. Since you are their mark and their target you will never be included in their real endeavors or operations.

Honeytraps often appear in: Romance scams, identity theft, trafficking, information surveillance, data collection, and illegal ip surveillance operations. If you are in any of these fields I highly suggest being careful and remaining alert:

Computer systems, software engineering, small business entrepreneurship, novelist, screenplay writer, anything within the design field, investigative journalism, alternative medicine, holistic practices, anything within the arts, sports training, investment capitalism, travel vlogging, leadership mentoring, body positivity, makeup or hair, activism, community outreach, parapsychology, botanical research, alternative therapy, and more.

Please be aware that honeytraps could be deployed from many sources.

It is not uncommon honeytraps belong to sophisticated and underground networks and the truth is not on the surface level.

Depending on the honey trap and the reasons why they were used they might even hold key information, data or insight about you long after they are gone. This information can be used, sold, or even used in the deployment of future honey traps. For example, in honey pots including romance scams, identity theft, ip or informational survelliance, and even dark occult recruitment, setups tends to start after the honeytrap has exited.

You’ll also find in almost all human transporting scenarios a honey trap or honeypot is deployed at the beginning as a part of the setup.

Ways you can recognize a honey trap, checking their social media or digital footprint is not enough. It’s important that you ask questions and don’t try to force the answer to fit if something isn’t adding up.

What you don’t want to have happen is everything makes sense, but it’s after you’ve dealt with them.

If you believe you have dealt with a honey trap it’s best that you take precautions, you may want to back up correspondence, change your telephone number, change passwords, and even change your routine.

*Study deception and manipulation tactics, and most importantly listen to your intuition.

For those who have dealt with a honeytrap it is likely they have deployed several as many of them operate from within the same or similar networks.
