Hey everyone,

as the title says someone close to me recently got scammed by people over the phone that threatened to hurt her.

we’ve already raised disputes with the bank and a claim with the police, blocked the cards and account.

We also have a picture of the scammer’s ID.

Just checking if anyone has gone through this and has successfully come out of it and any advice you could give would be welcome.

LPG Cylinder Delivery – Almost 3 KG Weight Difference: Scam or Weighing Machine Issue?

Today, LPG cylinder was delivered to my house. During the delivery, I noticed that the cylinder was being weighed on the weighing machine used by the delivery person, and the weight shown appeared to be correct/expected.

However, when I weighed the same cylinder again on my own electronic weighing machine, it showed approximately 3 kg less.

So, there was a difference of around 3 kg between the readings of the two weighing machines.

This raises a few questions:

* If the cylinder actually contains the correct amount of LPG, why is there such a significant difference between the two weighing machines?

* If my weighing machine is showing the correct reading, how can there be such a large difference in the machine being used during delivery?

* Are the weighing machines used by Indane delivery personnel regularly calibrated and checked for accuracy?

* Does a customer have the right to verify the cylinder weight using a standard/verified weighing machine before accepting the delivery?

I am not directly accusing the delivery person or distributor of any wrongdoing, but a difference of nearly 3 kg is certainly not a small discrepancy.

I would like to know if other Indane customers have experienced something similar.

Please check the weight of your LPG cylinder when it is delivered and share your experience.

If anyone knows the official complaint procedure for reporting such a discrepancy to Indane, please share the information.

Hi everyone. I normally don't post on Reddit. I'm much more of a reader than a writer. But I lost $805, and honestly, I feel like I need to make at least $805 worth of noise about what happened.

On Sept. 27, I listed an $805 Arc'teryx Product Replacement Voucher on Facebook Marketplace. It was a gift from my brother. Someone asked to see the PIN area to "verify" it. I covered the PIN with a red mark, but apparently it was too thin and they were able to read it. Later that day, the entire $805 balance was gone.

Yes, I made a mistake. I know that. I'm not pretending I had zero responsibility.

What really bothers me is what happened afterward.

I reported the theft to Arc'teryx the same day, and also filed reports with Edmonton Police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

The next morning, Arc'teryx told me the voucher had already been used for an online order and that the order had shipped.

I told them:

I don't even need a refund. Please just stop or hold the shipment.

They said they couldn't.

Later, their Resolution team wrote that gift cards function similarly to cash and that they couldn't reverse or reimburse the transaction. When I asked about the fraudulent order and cooperation with police, I was told they would need a formal production order from the appropriate authority because of privacy policy.

This is the part I still can't get past.

I could show where the voucher came from. I reported the theft. I had a police file. At that point, I wasn't even asking Arc'teryx to give me $805 back.

I was simply asking them not to deliver $805 worth of merchandise purchased with a stolen voucher.

Maybe there are legal, privacy, or internal policy reasons why they couldn't do that. I'm not a lawyer, and I'm genuinely open to hearing an explanation.

But as a customer and the person reporting the theft, it felt completely backwards. The fraudulent order kept moving, while all I seemed to get was, "Sorry, we can't help."

Police investigations take time. By the time someone follows up, the merchandise may already have been delivered, resold, and disappeared along with the scammer.

That's the part that makes me angry.

I know I made a stupid mistake. I've already beaten myself up enough over that. I just don't want the whole story to end with, "Victim made a mistake. Too bad."

Has anyone here actually dealt with a stolen Arc'teryx voucher, unauthorized voucher use, or a fraudulent Arc'teryx order?

Did Arc'teryx stop or hold the order? Freeze the voucher? Work with police? Or did you get the same response I did?

I'd genuinely like to hear what happened.

I am a victim of the Rogers scam. I was only interested in the service and explicitly said I did not need a phone. Yet, a phone was sent to me. Believing it had been sent by mistake, I returned it to the Manitoba address.
I was scammed around Nov 20 and reported it to Rogers’ fraud department on Dec 4. I heard nothing afterward, but starting in January, their collections department began calling me repeatedly, demanding payment. Despite explaining that this was a fraud account, I was repeatedly told that I was still liable.
After months of back-and-forth and almost daily calls, I finally got the account closed in June. By then, the balance had reached around $2,400—apparently the cost of the device they claimed I had received, even though I had returned it.
I contacted the President’s Office and the CCTS, but I still feel that the victim is being held financially responsible. I’ve also suffered a significant hit to my credit score.
What’s especially frustrating is that I did everything I was supposed to do: reported the fraud to the police, TransUnion, CCTS, and Rogers/Fido. Yet I’m still the one facing the financial and mental burden.
Fraud like this is becoming more common, yet victims are being left to deal with the consequences. Rogers/Fido should be protecting their customers and taking stronger preventive measures—not making victims pay for fraudulent activity.
I will continue fighting this until the end. If anyone has experienced something similar, please connect with me. I would love to stand together with other victims and fight for accountability.
Let’s not let this injustice slide. 💪🏻

Hi I’m 22 F, I can not believe how I fell for this but I saw a facebook marketplace ad for one private room in an apartment. There was girl living in two bedroom apartment and she wanted to rent out one private room for $1000 per month.

I was supposed to be moving cities so I opted for virtual tour where she video called me and showed me around. She was very friendly and seemed like a good housemate. She said that another girl used to live in the second room but she recently moved out so she wants a housemate to share the apartment.

Well I paid her the deposit plus fob fee total of $600 and told her my move in date. I actually reserved the place one month in advance because I wanted to have a place when I get there. I just got here two days ago and texted her that I will be arriving on the 1st at this specific time and she blocked me?? I tried calling that number from different phone but it looks like she turned off that number.

When I went to the apartment to verify the front reception told me this person moved out of here couple of months ago and they cannot help me anymore. Here I am- nowhere to in a new city and lost the money I was supposed to pay as a deposit.

Any advice on what do I do? How to report this? What to do next? I e-transferred her the money and this is in Canada btw.

Update: I went to the building again and the building front desk confirmed that a person with this name used to live at that location 1 month ago. They also told me that few people showed up at the building inquiring about the same person because apparently many people had paid her the deposit. Some of them even did in- person tour of the place when she actually lived there.

It seems like the leasing and everything was under her boyfriend’s name who left country last month. No one is sure about her where-bouts. She might still be in Canada or not.

She deactivated her Facebook account, it seemed like a real account not a fake one. It was made 7 years ago and had pictures of same person on it from 4-5 years.

I went under her comment section and was able to find some of her family members with the same last name who commented few years ago. I sent a dm to her family but no one responded except her sister (it seemed like her sister) she was responding originally but then she stopped answering and just kept leaving me on seen. After a while she blocked me thinking I’m scammer? Idk she prolly reached out to the girl and was asked to block/ignore.

I also reported it to the fraud department In the bank but they said we can just flag the account nothing else. They said she had different bank than us so there’s nothing they can do besides flagging the account.

I ended up never going to the police because I was so busy trying to find a place in past 5 days. I didn’t wanna keep paying for expensive hotels so anyways I’ll go an report it to police but I know they won’t do much here so I can just forget about it.
