[CANADA] I think I got scammed by a fake E-Transfer and I am in a complete panic.

Hi Everyone,

I'm from Canada and I think I got scammed by someone who was trying to buy something I had posted online on Kijiji Classified Ads.

So I got a text message on my phone number from someone saying that they wanted to buy one of the items I have posted online.

So I called the person and they offered to pay with Interac E-transfer, which I have done in the past without any problems.

But this one, I had a feeling not to click to accept something felt weird but I still went ahead and clicked on it to accept the transfer.

Then a black page opened saying something like intracetc, etc as shown in the screenshot I posted.

I took a screenshot and I shut it down right away. But I have been stressing out All Day long about this.

I have changed my email and my password on my bank account. But what about my phone number? I mean the person who did that has my phone number so should I get a new number?

And is there anything else I should do?

Please Help me figure this out I've been stressing about it all day long and can't sleep because of this. Yes I know it's my fault for not being careful enough.

Any suggestions?

Thank You in advance for taking the time to read and reply.

OMG!! Someone please pinch me! 😮🥹😍🥰❤️

Soooo I just came on Reddit in a literal panic 😳 because I wasn't sure if I did check in today or not (thinking I didn't)... So in my mind I was scared to hit the first like button I'd see as soon as I opened the App and see that my daily streak was reset....

But Noooo, I hit the first like button and Boom!! There it is.... I have made it to Day 200!!! 😮🥹🫣🥰❤️

I'm still shaking... The past few weeks have been really rough with broken ribs and the past 5 or 6 days with a migraine and fever that won't go away... So Yeah it's been hard since I can barely come online but WOW I am extremely Happy!! 🥹❤️ I'll save the happy dance for when I get better hehe!! ❤️

Ohhh and I have a Question.... Is there a term for people who share the exact same streak and same day as someone else?? 🤷🏻🤔🤷🏻 Like twins or something? I'm wondering 🤷🏻🤔🤷🏻

Well I will say Congratulations to my Reddit Twin who also hit 200 Days today!! Yes that would be You u/buckfordfitchenstein !! 💯👌🏼❤️🥳🎉

Please help me name (nickname) my Polydactyl Tuxedo Male Kitten

Hi Everyone!

Hope Everyone is having a Wonderful Day!!

So long story short.. my female cat gave me 5 Beautiful Babies for Christmas(December 22, 2025 to be exact) So yeah the babies just turned 19 weeks old. My Daughter kept one and she named him Ozzy (picture of all black kitty male) and I also kept one (picture of Tuxedo Kitten male)

So Yeah I am really bad with names and nicknames 🤷🏻😳🤔🫣

As soon as we saw my Polydactyl Tuxedo Kitten we "kinda" named him.... Sprocket 🤷🏻😳🤔🫣 I don't know why but Yeah he got so many nicknames and I don't think he reacts to any of the names/nicknames because there's too many 🤷🏻

Examples: .... Sprocket... Pocket... Baby Pocket... Mr Sprocket...

And we speak French so things like Mon ti BB (my little baby) ... Ti BB ('lil Baby).... Ti BB Gasson ('lil Baby Gasson) Note that Gasson is a slang for Boy....

And so much more 😳🤔🫣

I'd like to know what you guys think? 🤷🏻🤔 Should we stay with what we are doing right now.... Or something else?

Please give me your honest opinion 😻

And if you have any suggestions for names and nicknames please Go ahead and let me know I am open to All suggestions!!

Only thing I Do Not Want is obvious names like Sylvester, Syl, Oreo, Skunk, or anything like that.

Thank You All very much in advance and can't wait to read all of your ideas!!

So picture of kitten All black is my Daughter's his name is Ozzy and not negotiable hehe!

And black and white kitten is my baby Sprocket?

Edited... To say that French names are Welcome! Since we are a French Canadian Family so yeah. Sorry I forgot to mention earlier! And so far a lot of Great suggestions, keep them coming! 💯👌🏼❤️😻
