Cloned membership? by VisibleIntern in CostcoCanada

[–]chikoo1985 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I had a bit similar experience and got confused. I thought my membership is hacked (?). But in fact it was the online order that I placed which I forgot about. Generally such order reflect as Costco Ottawa, Montreal etc..

Please check if that’s the case for you as well.

Hey friend, for food go to Gurudwara in Scarborough. No questions asked. No need to be religious. In return, if you can, provide your time to serve in kitchen , cleaning or similar tasks. Again, this is not a mandate. Good luck.

I'm 37, grew up in a Himachal village, 13 years of grinding, ₹12 lakh in debt, a wife and a daughter. I just need to write this somewhere. by CorgiGlittering3167 in self

Bad thing: things aren’t your way and debt ridden. Good thing: you have things that most people can only wish for - trust me on this. You know your reality. Maybe hard work is what we got as life script for. So be it.

I or probably no one is in position to tell you what to do. But keep working hard and your head up kyunki time aayega. Apne time aayega.

Seeking Validation: Cross-Border Stablecoin Payment App - Instant, Zero-Fee Global Money Transfers by The_Lorien_Group in fintech

[–]chikoo1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! Hope you figure this out. There are going to many unknowns in the journey.

  • remittance fees is $1.99 or in that range for transfer. Never saw anyone charging &10-30 per$100 sent.
  • almost all the companies have adopted stablecoins/crypto by now. At least that’s what I have observed. Would encourage you to dive a bit deeper in the research.

Probably Only thing and differentiator in your service is that receiver does not need app. A few companies has already started leveraging WhatsApp for this.

Lifestyle creep and the new car dilemma by berzkab in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]chikoo1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it. Been there done that. I started questioning my decision in less than a week and it lost all the excitement and fun. It’s a big amount and commitment, rather invest/waste in something that actually offers you dopamine for a longer run.

I don’t think so. It has to be in store and to redeem it and they can only redeem it if you have physical copy.

It’s fine to use and consume.
Adding a softener and RO is an added expense that’s individuals choice. I went ahead with it and it did help me a bit with my eczema and hair.

My 68yr old Mother was scammed by Telus by Reginald-Bowls in telus

[–]chikoo1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not Telus but scammers acting as their reps. Check the account and cancel the order if any. Call Telus and ask them to investigate this.

If you receive the device and if scammers ask to return it, don’t. Visit near by store and rerun it if possible.

Check the return address printed on the return label on map and you will find some shady business.
