SCAMMMER PLEASE READ EVERYONE!

Please be very aware of a scammer on kijiji.
Yesterday i posted my iPhone 5 on kijiji, and this person had texted me in response to my post saying that she would pay 500$ to ship the phone to her son in quebec, and i didn't think anything of it because I've been having a rough week and i thought i was about to have good luck. I originally posted i wanted 350$ for it and she offered to pay 50$ more for the phone and 100$ to ship it over night. Originally they wanted me to use paypal but i didn't have a pay pal so i suggested Etransfer. And at first it seemed pretty legit, but then the second email i got from them (ETRANSFER) was that they were having a server error and it would take up to 24 hrs and at this point it started clicking in my head that THIS IS A SCAM, i wasn't getting money and it says 24 hrs because by the time 24 hrs is up they will have the phone. I then searched the 646 number on google and THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS PERSON HAS TRIED TO SCAM SOMEONE they have tried to scam people on craiglist, kijiji etc and it is actually a google voice number, they switched the number because they thought i would forget about it and i wouldn't look it up; they knew that the 562 number wouldn't show up on google as a scammer number. After filing a police report and stoping my parcel the person texted me this morning also trying to say that etransfer couldn't deposit money in my interac account because my limit is apparently lower than 500$ and i don't have a business account so they would have to give me another 500$ to expand my limit, bringing my account to 1000!

The numbers they were texting me from 646-807-8293, and then she had said her phone was dead and she was going to text me from her husbands and the number was then 562-248-6609. The email they used to send me the etransfer is mattewmitri@gmail.com.
The etransfer email that you should be aware of is, Notifcation@payment-interac.ca & & shopping post@in.com.
The address they wanted me to send the phone :
Name:David Bosquet
Address: 871 Cartier, Longueuil, Canada, J4K4C3

^ they probably won't use they same mailing info if any at all.

FORTUNATELY i was able to stop my parcel from getting in the persons hands, and I'm hoping you will read this and will do the same if it happens to you or anyone else. Hoping this will help another individual that is trying to sell there item on Facebook.

LOOK FOR THE HINTS AND THE SIGNS.

PLEASE BE AWARE, AND DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!

In the picture is what the email might look like from 'Etransfer'

Happy Little Pizza Maker

I wanted to send a shout out to the owner of Riviera Pizza on Wyandotte Street East, Peter.

My 7 year-old daughter and I stopped in for a small take-out snack last night. While we were waiting she was asking me questions about how chef's make pizza - particularly how they throw the dough in the air.

Peter must of overheard her curiosity and invited her into the kitchen as he was about to make himself a pizza for dinner.

I watched from the bar with a smile on my face as he showed her the process from start to finish. He let her touch the dough, taste the cheese, and even feel the heat of the oven from a distance.

We live in LaSalle and were in Riverside for baseball, so we had never been to this establishment before but I must say, if this is how Peter treats his customers then he deserves recognition and community support.

You made my daughter's night and she couldn't wait to share the experience with her older brothers. She practically bounded out of your restaurant with happiness.

So, thank you Peter and Riviera pizza! We won't be able to order often but we will order whenever we can. Kudos to you!

To the mom at the Tecumseh dog park, thank you.

Thank you to the woman with the 4 month old baby girl at the Tecumseh dog park last Sunday. She noticed I was pregnant and walking with my boyfriend and started talking to me. I feel like the closer I get to my due date the more horror stories people want to tell me about their delivery or new born baby and how hard and stressful it is. This will be my first baby so my boyfriend and I are excited but extremely nervous. She stood there for about a half hour talking to us about how much she loved motherhood and gave us so much positive advice! Not once did she tell us something negative. She gave me referrals to great websites for moms on Facebook and just advice in general about her experience. She was so positive and upbeat that I didn't want to stop talking to her. When we finally parted ways my boyfriend looked at me and said "she just made me feel 100% better and more confident about having our baby" and it's true she did. I felt really good after talking to her. So I want to say a big thank you from my boyfriend and I!

Thank you two teenage guys at Dairy Queen

Dear two teenage guys who came into dairy queen on huron church july 9th around 9:50, you will probably never know this was written but I think you deserve some recognition. You were the first two people to ever thank me for just taking your order. The majority of people have an attitude like they're better than me at the cash and these guys stuck out to me. My parents always taught me to respect someone no matter what job they're doing, and it made me feel really good that someone did the same for me. So thanks guys.

Thanks for dinner Gentleman! You restored my faith!

So.... I always read these kind spotted in windsor posts and try to keep faith that there are good people out there but life always seems to throw me blows so its hard to keep that faith up. BUT.... Yesterday I didnt feel like cooking so when my son woke up from his nap, we walked up to subway. I ordered our food which was only a little sub and a little pizza so when they said it came to like almost 19 bucks I thought to myself, yup not coming back here for dinner. Anyways, we are sitting there eating and E was being himself, lol, not eating well and being loud but funny. 2 gentlemen walked in and E shouts "Hiiiiiiiii" They laughed and ordered their food as E kept up his crazy/ cutness. This is where I am not sure why, maybe they heard me say your driving your Momma crazy today or something lol, but as I started to clean up and was a few feet away at the garbage the 2 gentlemen walked by E and handed him a 20 and loudly said "Here little guy, buy your mom dinner" and walked out without me even having a chance to give it back!!!! : , ) So to the 2 gentleman that personally warmed my heart and kicked a little more faith into me yesterday.... THANK YOU! You opened my heart a little more and I will be sure to pass the kindness along someday, somehow!!!!
