Re: Porch Pirates aka Parcel Thieves
It turns out, that the postal carrier is too lazy to deliver my packages to my door, or even leave a door tag. Instead, he/she just leaves the package on the desk, right inside the entrance to the building, for people to steal, while I am at work. I filed a complaint with Canada Post about this. The...

Porch Pirates aka Parcel Thieves
This has become a recent problem lately. You've probably even heard about it on YouTube. It's even funny when karma strikes these bastards, but it's certainly not funny when they take your parcels. Recently, I have ordered items on the internet, but they never seem to arrive. Tracking the packages i...

Re: W Have A Warrant For Your Arrest!
If you're referring to those calls from India, I get them all the time. At first it was the CRA/IRS, then Service Canada, then Canadian Border Service Agency, and occasionally some tech company going out of business offering a so-called refund, or some company claiming that your computer has a virus...

Re: They're getting desperate
Another variant is calls from Service Canada. A crime has been committed against my SIN. I need to press "1" to speak to a so-called officer. So I press "1" and wait for someone to answer. Then I blow my 130dB Storm whistle right into the phone and chant "This is the Whistle...

Re: W Have A Warrant For Your Arrest!
I've been getting calls saying something like "Hello, this is an important message from Service Canada... crime against your Social Insurance Number..." At some point it tells me to press "1" to speak to an officer, so I press "1" and when they answer, I blast them with...

First tax, now Utilities.
I just found out about a call that's been going around, much like the IRS/CRA ones, claiming that you owe them money, but now they are pretending to be from the utility companies, like BC Hydro, claiming that you owe them money, and they are going to disconnect you if you don't send them money from ...

Be careful when paying for services with your credit card.
Last month, I had moved into an apartment, and needed to transport my vehicle to my new location. I made arrangement to have someone drive the vehicle, since I only have my learners, but the vehicle is barely drivable, as the motor tends to overheat, if you drive it too long, and the battery is comp...

Re: They're getting desperate
So now these Mofos are sending me letters claiming to be from Revenue Service of BC. They claim that I owe them money. Each time, it's a different amount too.
Nice try!
They keep threatening to get the money from the CRA, or dock my pay.
I'm really starting to hate those SOBs.

They're getting desperate
Ever since I registered a domain with the option to hide my info, I've been getting calls from the so-called CRA, and even so-called IRS. Another recent one is the computer tech people claiming that there is problem with my computer. One asked if I owned a computer. I bet he doesn't even know which ...

So finally he tells me where to send the funds: You can't send money without my payment information, so i will advice you to go back to western union and resend the money to this payment information today. You can find a western union transfer outlet store at drug mart or Canada Post near to you and...

Hahahahaha, those are good. I'm going to try them.
I sent the rent, but Western Union contacted me and told me that the transfer was delayed to the Hurricane down South.

Re: Newly Renovated 2-bedroom Apartment for Rent in East Vancouver for $700 too good to be true.
Funny you mention the IRS scam. Recently, I've been getting those calls too. Especially during July. What's even funny is that I live in Canada and one of them left a message on my voicemail saying they were from "Internal Revenue Service." Others said they were from CRA, but the call usua...

So I'm looking for a place to rent, and I'm looking on Craigslist, when I come across this place for $700/mo. It's listed as Newly Renovated 2-bedroom Apartment for Rent in East Vancouver. Claims to have 2 decks as well. Sounds pretty good, for a place right in Vancouver. I send an email asking to a...

Re: Pretty close to work
Well, considering that the company I work for has also provided a service to Mona-Vie, I do have to watch what I say on an open forum, as they could be reading this forum and could just simply complain to my boss."Claims they are"??
