I was walking through the junction/ high park area when a young girl (probably around 18-20) came up to me and asked if I could pay for her taxi in exchange for cash. She said she forgot her card and the taxi doesn't accept cash.

I asked what kind of taxi it was since the classic beck taxis most definitely accept cash, and she said "ummm I don't know - a Scarborough taxi"
Mind you she had $10 cash and we are very far from Scarborough.

This is a know scam which involves the ‘taxi’ pulling up and when you give your card to the driver they swap your card for a fake and drain your bank account.

If you’re in Toronto or the GTA watch out for this and never give anyone your card!!!!!

Dm me !!

I really want to travel but don’t have many friends. I have a boyfriend but he works a lot. I’m at a weird point in my job where I don’t really care about it and will take off as much time as I want.

I’ve thought about travelling solo for a while and I think it would be something I would feel so proud of myself for doing — as I’m not great at doing things alone.

I’m curious if there are any solo female travellers who have done solo trips while in a relationship. I have this feeling that everyone who I have told that I’m interested in doing this thinks it’s weird that I would want to travel without my boyfriend. I think they associate solo trips with hooking up with random people.

I’m interested in exploring the world and hopefully making connections and life long friendships.

I want to travel as much as I can, and I have done a fair a bit but I’m so keen to see more of the world. The only issue is I don’t have many friends and the ones I do have, I wouldn’t necessarily travel with. I have a boyfriend but he works a lot and doesn’t want to travel as much as I do.

I’m 26 and want to see the world while im young. I was thinking of doing a solo trip but it does make me anxious as a woman.

Any tips from female solo travellers?

I lost my card holder at rbc amphitheatre May 30. It’s a pink and white beaded card holder that’s special to me. I had a TD debit card, rbc credit card, Ontario drivers license and health card in there. I also lost my prescription kits sunglasses. They are black, rectangular frames with card suits on the arms. Someone also spent $250 on my CC which is awesome 🫤

When I compare myself to other people my age/ in my circle I feel so behind. I feel like I’m genuinely a useless hopeless person. I’m 26 and still live with my parents, I live in Toronto for reference and rent is expensive. I’m on unemployment because I got laid off and I cannot find another job. Not in my field, not even receptionist/ admin type positions. I had an interview a few weeks back and didn’t get another. I look through linkedin and indeed I just feel hopeless and I’m starting to think I don’t even want a job in my field anymore.
