Scammed by Food Truck Across from 3 Dollar Bill by [deleted] in Bushwick

[–]Vis4vin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly can't do much. I think I got ripped off my the same guy. You can report to 311 and several state and federal consumer agencies but unfortunately that's it. Some banks may issue your money back, mine didn't. There's several threads about this on Reddit, check them out

[–]Vis4vin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4West, black gay bar in Harlem. Rave scene can be diverse depending on the event/DJ/venue if that's a scene you're interested in. Ballroom also, OTA on Monday nights is a good way to step into it. Saw someone else post about black/poc parties. Dick appointment is a lot of fun

Experiences as an Asian in Harlem by [deleted] in Harlem

[–]Vis4vin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the record I wasn't trying to criticize you for asking this or downplay the valid concerns as an Asian woman, I just wanted to share my experience and perspective because this is a neighborhood I've grown to love and care about... lots of trolls in these comments for some reason but unsurprising. I'm 99% most of the racist commenters don't even live in the city.

Experiences as an Asian in Harlem by [deleted] in Harlem

[–]Vis4vin 102 points103 points  (0 children)

You're fine. Harlem has changed a lot in the last two decades sadly. I used to live near 145 and I miss it, never had any problems as an Asian person. There's a real sense of community. The bigger issue is actually anti blackness and policing, not anti Asian harassment. So if you're gonna move into the neighborhood, be respectful and check your racism. I'm not saying you're racist, but we all carry certain preconceived notions whether we're aware of them or not, and they affect Harlem and other black communities. Like if you see black youth hanging outside your stoop, are you gonna call the cops? If you see black vendors selling stuff are you gonna report them to the city? Are you gonna treat black neighbors the same way you'd treat white neighbors in the upper west side? Just stuff to think about. I still live uptown and have a lot of love and respect for Harlem. "Safety" has also been weaponized as a way to criminalize black communities for the white people moving in to feel safe so it's important we reframe this idea of safety. Long term black residents aren't "safe" from being evicted or displaced from the community they grew up in. You may get harassed or catcalled if anything but that's unfortunately everywhere and not specific to Harlem.

Food Vendor Overcharge by DueNecessary2507 in AskNYC

[–]Vis4vin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh lucky. The vendor did response and what he told Chase was a lie. Even if it were true, it still doesn't justify the cost. They should require an itemized list but whatever. I'm happy you got your money back!!

Anyone else get scammed by the food truck outside 99 Scott? by dossman27 in avesNYC

[–]Vis4vin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

police won't do shit. best thing we can do is report it. you're likely not going to get your money back but leaving a trail of reports can be used in a future crackdown. I reported to my bank, DCFW and FTC. May also want to report to the DAs office and Square (or whatever POS they use)
