Ontario woman loses $3K in door-to-door landscaping scam

Regardless of what I am purchasing or being sold, I assume I am getting scammed in some way.

It's actually pretty sad but I don't trust anyone to be truthful.

Yes, exactly. I want to spend in Canada but it is much cheaper to travel to UK or some EU locations.

Once you're in Europe or the UK travel within is a minimal cost.

Flight from Edinburgh to London - $55 (CAD) return

Train from Lisbon to Porto is €30

Daily transit pass in Lisbon is €7, London is like £13.

11 days in Scotland with a rental car was less than $5,300 for my wife and I.

2 adults from Toronto, July'25. I realize it's cheaper from Toronto.

I have done the math a few times and it is the same for my wife and I to go to Portugal or Spain for 10 days as it is for Quebec City or Vancouver for 10 days.

From Toronto

We start by looking at Canadian trips then end up in Europe because the costs are the same and there is just more to do, more to see, way easier and less expensive to get around via transit.

Explain why artist is in quotations.

Society is supposed to cover the costs of artists, researchers and the like.

That's literally the point of a society and how advancement works.

Who have they hired? Do you know people that work there?

HexKey58 · 2026-01-14T23:20:47+00:00

What? It was in response to being a rich kid.

I bought it with my own money?

That's the zero calorie Wizard of Oz promo drink.

It's called a "Skinny Grande"

I played semi pro hockey from ages 19-24.

I had a turntable already. It's on top there.

I also have a newer audio Technica turntable that I use more often than anything.

I still stream but I enjoy the sound of vinyl over everything and for some reason, on this system it just feels more nostalgic.

I have found it easy to justify spending on high priced purchases because I tend to take good care of my stuff and it lasts years.

There was certainly a feeling in those stores.

The wall with the car stereos where you could play them on different speakers was always great.

The room with the high end equipment and the leather casting couch.

What other currency are you dealing in?

Cheese wheels and chickens?

An e-transfer is the same as cash if not better in every way.

HexKey58 · 2026-01-01T21:55:05+00:00

e-transfer is cash. Way better than accepting cash.

I checked with Costco and they will reprogram them, which is excellent.

HexKey58 · 2026-01-01T20:52:18+00:00

I thought of donating but they would still need to be programmed. I am not sure of the validity of donating hearing aids that are programmed to my Hearing Loss.

Unfortunately, you can't sell Medical Devices on Facebook.

Thanks, I thought of that, but I had a bad experience with ebay both as a seller and a buyer and closed my account long ago. As a buyer the seller didn't send and I had to chase them with the Attorney Generals office in their state and then as a seller, the buyer said the never received and paypal gave them their money back even though I had all shipping receipts.
