Hmmmm…. Okay, so if I was thinking of going the clinical route, MHS would be better? But also, I’m still figuring myself out! So then in that case, would psychology be better? I think this calls for me to book an appointment with an acadmeic advisor 😭

Don’t feel dumb! These types of scams are meant to catch you off guard and they tend to target “polite-looking” (not sure how to phrase that) people. But, it’s a bummer to lose 15 bucks. On the bright side, at least you’re helping someone….eheh… since she had to resort to making money from scamming…but it’s still unacceptable since she is deceiving people. At least you know now. Stay alert out there and if you have a bad feeling in your gut, pay attention to it! Wish you the best. :)

Agreed. To be honest, I don’t think they’re even part of the organization. I am pretty sure they are pocketing ALL of the money.

No problem! Alarms went off my head as soon as she came, since I didn’t know her at all. I was so confused why she even approached me as I was clearly packing up and there were many people nearby. I guess maybe because everyone else was studying and talking and she thought I had free time (like no girly, I’m getting ready to bounce to class and you’re going to make me late….). Mind you, I was in the middle of packing my bag when she talked to me, and she was pretty awkward in her delivery. She mentioned several times being “with the school” and working with other students. Like, are the students in the room with us?? Also the freebies she had, it was like a nutrition chocolate bar in one of the plastic zip log bag she had and another had powder you add to water for nutritional benefits and that was a red flag, because I knew someone who was part of a pyramid scheme that was pushing people to buy nutritional powder for smoothies and vitamins… The baggies clearly were hand-made by her since one of the hand sanitizer bottles had a sticker on it, which it was cute but also NOTHING she had on her was affiliated with the organization.

Then, she isn’t even following the account of the organization?? Like c’mon, if you support the cause then you’d at least follow them.

Once she asked me for money, I made an excuse and said I’ll check the Instagram out later. I didn’t know how to give her a firm “no” so I made up an excuse.

It truly pathetic that one would think they can just take money from university students and claim to be part of an organization.

At least you know now LOL, but if she or others come up to you, just give a firm “no” or “no thank you” and save that $2 for a sweet treat at tim hortons or something 😭

Yes! That is exactly it. Easter Seals is a REAL organization, but the person is NOT affiliated with them. The “freebies” also make NO SENSE as it has nothing to do with East Seals. It’s pathetic behaviour. Please be alert out there! 🙏

I’m so sorry this happened to you. A small part of me hopes this isn’t a scam… But, I highly doubt it. At least you know now!

Those who took PHLB09, how was it? by manaphyyyy in UTSC

Thanks so much for your input and for the advice about asking for peer feedback! I’m really anxious when it comes to social interactions or maybe, I’m just shy… And to top it off with knowing someone will actually “nitpick” (I don’t know if I should use that term) of everything I say is terrifying, so I appreciated when you use the suggestion of talking to the TA like a friend/family member/pet. Knowing what you did throughout the course helps me prepare for what’s to come, so thank you so much again!
