WARNING: Italian Leather Jacket Scam active recently around Waterloo - Lost $1000

177 Upvotes

Hi everyone, posting this as a major warning so nobody else falls for this obvious scam like my dumbah did. I unfortunately just got taken for $1000 CAD by a professional scammer operating right by the university and across Ontario (it's a popular scam I never heard of till yesterday).

HOW IT WORKS: 
A well-dressed Italian man with a thick accent pulls up in a brand-new rental car/SUV. He starts by asking for directions to Pearson Airport due to no mobile data. Once you help him, he acts incredibly grateful and claims he is a luxury fashion designer (Tom Ford) who just finished a local trade show. 

THE HOOK: 
He says he can't fly back to Italy with his sample jackets because of high baggage fees/customs taxes, so he insists on "gifting" them to you for free. He puts them in your arms and shows they're fire-proof using a lighter. Then, the tone immediately shifts as he claims his credit cards are blocked internationally, and he needs quick cash for a rental car return fee before his flight in a few hours. He manipulates you into walking to the nearest ATM to hand over cash in exchange for a bundle of "valuable" jackets, promising to return the money once he gets back to Italy and the company refunds him.

THE TRUTH:
The jackets are branded as "TF Collections" or "TF Designer." They look decent at a glance but are cheap, worthless synthetic faux-leather knock-offs worth maybe $30-50. 

Where it happened: 131 University Ave W
Target: innocent-looking students and young adults, and from other reddit posts apparently a lot of senior people

If anyone pulls up to you asking for directions and immediately transitions into talking about fashion or clothing, or just anybody asking for help with money, WALK AWAY immediately, take a photo of car plate number and report to police. Please upvote this so other students see it.

Don't be gullible and "kind" like me, and trust your guts when interacting with ALL strangers. No amount of familiarity (I felt the need to help him as an International student myself) makes you responsible for helping somebody in need.

How accepting is Laurier of LGBTQ?

5 Upvotes

I'm in grade 11 right now but am planning on going to Laurier(Waterloo) in 2028. I am a trans guy who will start to medically transition once I get into uni. So my question is how accepting is Laurier of LGBTQ+ people? Specifically people who are visibly queer? I wanna know if I'll get bullied for being visibly queer or if I should try to dress more basic to blend in. I expect that I will run into at least a few people who'll be assholes about it, that's found everywhere. But is the majority of people cool about this stuff or no? Also if anyone has any tips for getting ready for university that would be appreciated as well! Hope everyone has a great day!

go bus rant/psa

75 Upvotes

guys. i fear some laurier students are facing the issue of experiencing their first day on earth. the amount of pushing and shoving waiting for the go bus is ridiculous. i get that it’s reading week and everyone wants to go home. but i’m just wondering if majority of people have any social awareness whatsoever?
group of girls last night screaming for the 40 minute duration we were waiting for the go bus and just shoving everyone in their vicinity. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ANOTHER BUS TOO. metrolinx acknowledges that reading week is a busy time where students go home and there’s a lot of buses.

please for gods sake learn some self awareness and let’s pls act a bit more civilized i understand you may be in first year but that doesn’t necessarily grant you the excuse to be a nuisance to everyone around you
