What if mojo made an appointment and the person confided once they arrived that they had no means of paying for the services?

What if this and what if that? If an appointment is made and the client shows up, there's a commitment that needs to be honored if the service provider has any honor. Yeah, if the power is off due to the hurricane, he's off the hook, but all things being equal, there's a commitment and a broken commitment does at least a small amount of harm. If you hang out a shingle, it is implied that you service anyone who wants your service assuming that you can pay for it or that there's not a recognized cause for refusal, like a contagious disease. Just hanging a shingle is an implied commitment. Also what if Mojo sets up appointments explicitly to discuss if someone should be his client rather then for the performance of services? Well, sure he can do that. In which case there is no expectation of an actual massage, only a consultation. Or what if Mojo only performs services for people he knows well? That is what I recommended to him ages ago. That's the best way to stay under the radar and to get the kind of clients he wants. If he performed his services in the clients' homes, that would be even less risky.
