That's just bad opsec. I would have thought rule number one of soliciting was to be cash only.

Ignoring of course that the amount of aggregated surveillance makes it impossible to escape monitoring. Credit cards, license plate scanners, phone GPS, airtags, doorbell cameras, "Eye in the Sky" spy planes, etc

"What kind of hooker takes credit cards?"

"A rich one!"

The exact example IS bad opsec... however assume some example fuzzing for good opsec.

Trip to McD's with a price of exactly happy meal + tax one day, and a recurring payment for XXX website OnlyFans access the next. Adjust the values to taste/theory. Sometimes a credit card is just a credit card.

Transaction data comes included with merchant metadata, simply fuzzing the amount doesn't mask anything.
There are countries where prostitution is legal and commercial brothels accept mainstream payment methods.
