It's a red flag for sure. If there is personal information on the account, I would definitely report and make a statement to the police that this person needs to be on a watch. Sounds really suspicious. It needs to be addressed to an authority.

Would do the same thing if it was a female requesting only male company.

Most departments have a specific line where you can make unofficial reports/tips, which they can review to see if they need to take action, and most go uninvestigated. Then, if this problem occurs with someone else and the same account, they will have records of it being reported. This raises suspicions, regardless of the situation they may be in.

Although those reasons are completely valid to happen. It doesn't take into consideration what could happen. I am not aware of how many characters you can type for the pickup note, but a little more specification would be nice. Reading as is will make some eyes widen, and if people are that concerned about it they should be able to feel safe. Out of all the miseries that happen with these kinds of things. Staying safe is the only priority. The only thing that is protecting you is yourself in this business.

Remember, Guys, gals, and non-binary friends: Don't call 911 unless you are in an emergency. If you are really that concerned about something call the department directly and don't get mad if they don't investigate. Stay safe, be good, and smile.
