Not so much a 'spotting' as a 'hearing.'
So far today I've had 2 messages from the same scammer, basically telling me there is an arrest warrant in my name, and if they don't hear back from me at the given number, the results will be on my head.
It sounded "off," of course (who phones somebody to WARN them there's an arrest warrant out for them??) but I was curious, so called the number after the first message ... only to be connected with the Canada Revenue Agency's Tax Audit Department. The gentleman on the other end said RevCan NEVER calls people if there's a problem with their taxes; they send a registered letter.
First message was this morning; second was five minutes ago.
What kind of idiot scammers (a) leave a message, and (b) give you a phone number to a REAL government agency?!
Anyway, if you get this message, just snicker and delete it.
To the two kind men who stop in the middle of Lauzon Parkway to help a family of geese to get to the other side you have been spotted
At approximately 3:15 I was in the drive thru at Tim Hortons for a much needed coffee, when the gentleman ahead of me was so kind to pay. Thank you. After the week I have had, your kindness did not go unnoticed. As I left the drive thru I was still right behind you and wanted to jump out of my car and say thank you, buuuut I didn't think that would make the people behind me too happy lol
So if you see this, thank you!
Sincerely,
Girl in the black Hyundai
Someone called my mothers phone claiming they're canada revenue. They proceeded to tell her she owed money. When she told them that that is absurd and that the government doesn't just call people he told her he will send the police to have her arrested. Thankfully i have warned her literally 3 days prior of all these scams going around and she was prepared. People take this seriously and spread the message tell everyone you know. Never give out any personal information. I have called the general police line and the gentleman told me this has been happening too much lately and that canada revenue NEVER calls people. Spread the word especially to our elders who seem to be the scammers main target.
Can anyone recommend a good place that will board cats?
Almost 4 years ago today, I went into Bonnie togs and met a woman who helped me pick out baby clothes. She did it with such grace. Of course it was her job, she worked there. I had anxiety about purchasing the items because I'd lost my daughter to SIDS the year prior. I didn't want to get excited about a baby that could be stolen from me again. This woman gave me the necklace on her neck and let me know she had lost her baby too. After four years and two healthy children later, I want to return her necklace. She was a complete stranger so plz share :)
To the elderly couple cleaning up our riverfront this morning, you should be more appreciated for what you do, seeing you two cleaning up made my day', you are great people". ☺
Eastern flavors just opened up on Walker road, I came two days ago with my friends and the waitress we had was an absolute blast. Although there was a bit of a wait on the food she was talking to us and making us comfortable, almost forgot she was our waitress. Excellent job. The food is incredible and Admira, you're awesome!
