I met a woman in 2008. She lived close by so we would shop or walk her dog and hang out a lot. I gave her a kitten when my cat had a litter.She made a living making plaster tiles. She had a production line set up with fancy boxes and a drill press. She had several tiles she would make. I talked to her one day about some new designs and she was totally out of the question. She asks me how to make a stamp. I told her she could get one from Office Depot or staples she would just need to take a picture and they will make it.We went to a Christmas party and on the way we stop for gas in her car. She asked me if I would pump the gas she wanted to make a quick call. When I pull the credit card out of the reader I noticed the credit card was in her sons name. Which seemed very wrong since she would tell everyone that her ex husband ruined her sons credit by opening cards in the sons name and never paying the bills. When I asked her about it she said that she had cleaned up his credit and she needed to use his so she could fix her own credit. She saw nothing wrong opening cards in her under 18 child’s name.She inherited some money and for a short time was flush with money. She was going to art shows and said she was selling tons of her tiles to stores and online. She also had full custody of her son so I assumed that she had a regular monthly child support.She dated this married guy for a few years and they were going to move in together she found this big house that she filled with her stuff. She told me when I was helping her move again that she had ran up married guys credit card to the time of $10,000 to turn on the utilities and pay for the move. She said that she couldn’t make the minuimum monthly payment this month and what should she do. I said she should let him know so he can make it so his credit doesn’t get ruined. He didn’t move in with her in the new big house and she didn’t pay rent anyway which the landlord told me when I helped her move out of the big house.She told me that she liked dating married guys because they would take her out to eat to nice expensive places. They liked that she would get dressed up. She also dated men that were 20 years older so they were happy to show off the younger woman. She said if she was short money she would get money from them to keep from telling the wife.I later had troubles of my own and moved across the county and only came back for holidays and the death of my father. We kept in touch and would hang out which ended up me helping her move again when she would get kicked out for not paying rent.She then ran up my paypal account by accident and was unable to pay me so she said she would sell some tiles on a Etsy account in my name and the I could pay the paypal charges. Well after the Etsy account was set up I was contacted by someone that said she is not allowed by Court order to sell the tiles. The tile designs were copy righted by an artist and she was counterfeiting his art. I could be charged with counterfeiting.I went to his website and there were forums about her fraud and how she sold the pieces in his name and even had his signature stamp on them. They had a picture of her and texts that she had written. I looked her up on the internet and she has lawsuits from landlords for non payment of rent.I went to the police and reported her for using my paypal and she had also used my credit cards to pay her cable and cell phone bills. I got my money back from the credit card companies but using 3 months rent in a New York winter could have killed me, had I not been able to pay my own rent.She has since been arrested and charged with theft in TX she seems to have gotten off easy with just a demand for payment. She also owes the apartment company $10000 in back rent. She started a new scan of selling cake molds which there are several forums about her taking orders and money and not filling the orders.She opens online stores and doesn’t send items and will open new eBay stores and sell the counterfeit tiles until eBay shuts it down. She has a big scam where she tells sob stories about why she can’t ship orders. She gets robbed or car jacked her brother dies her car breaks down she has to go to court lies and more lied to keep people from getting their money back from PayPal or the credit card. If she can hold the customer off for 90 days she can keep the money.She started a cooking class where she was asking $500 a person. I think that is how she paid her bail money. Her attorney was a law student and was free.She continues to steal from people her friends and her family.She also leased cars in family members names and stopped paying and had the cars taken. She also runs up parking and speeding tickets and doesn’t pay them.I hope that people will report her to the police when she steals. I hope there will be charges for her internet fraud and mail fraud since she sends fake tracking numbers or never sends items but says she does.

I wish I knew!! But they most definitely do!! My daughter has 3 children. She was a single mother but dating her now husband. She was working full-time. She was using me as her only babysitter. Being disabled and 2 of the children under 2 it was tough on me. Plus I have to travel overnight to see my specialist. And she couldn't always get off work. I guess that I was being selfish but had asked her to find a babysitter for 2 days that she worked. As I needed a break. Plus I have 6 other grandchildren that wanted my attention. One being by my specialist. So I would like to stay a few days to visit. She agreed and found someone. They had posted online. Her children went to the same school as her oldest. She gave references. So it wasn't just anyone she was leaving the kids with. Everything was fine. Then it all went south. The babysitter called cps on my daughter. Saying that she was leaving the kids with strangers. Which is crazy when my daughter showed the worker the ad. And that she was checked out. Didn't matter. The kids were split up into 3 different foster homes. My daughter was in IN where I was in IL even though we lived 10 minutes apart. Because of state lines I wasn't allowed to take the children. We had to have supervised visits. And each time new things were added to the list of “charges”. One time( I was there! So I know it was a lie) the worker claimed on the stand that the house smelled of weed so bad that she got high and had to be rushed to the ER. LOL. You can't get high like that in the first place. Second there wasn't any weed. Thirdly she didn't go to the ER she literally followed my daughter the rest of the day!! Texting her the whole time!! We showed this in court but all the judge heard was drugs…case closed! So she had to take drug classes which they told her on day one they didn't know why she was there!! Get drug tested at work daily take parenting classes plus do supervised visits and be employed! But they take so much time from you that most employers don't want to mess with it!!!Then they said that I could have the kids if she moved out of her house and I moved in. It would just be for 2 weeks and they would provide for the kids. LIES!!! it was over 3 months and not one penny for the kids!! All out of pocket for me and what my daughter could give as she had to find a new place to stay. She couldn't leave the state so my house wasn't an option. I was getting upset and they flat out told me that if I quit that they would separate the kids and move them to the furthest part of the state where visiting would be impossible!! Are you fuc*ing kidding me???? How is any of this what's best for the kids????Thank God the 3rd caseworker had a brain and closed the case right away. And haven't seen those a-holes since. What really gets me is they don't do anything about the kids that really need help but do this crap to the ones that did nothing wrong!!And before you ask as to why the babysitter reported in the first place. My guess is either my daughter was behind on payment or that the husband tried something on my daughter. My daughter didn't do anything but said she felt uncomfortable around the husband. So that is my guess.

As an American liberal who legally moved to Canada in 2004, here were my biggest surprises:“Canada, it’s like a whole other country!” — As dumb as it sounds, and as educated and informed as I felt like I was at the time I moved, I still drastically underestimated the impacts of an international move in general:All the paperwork to apply for all those documents you’ve “always had” in the States, like Social Insurance Number and vehicle registration and driver’s license and brand new bank accounts and so on, in addition to the standard moving stuff like apartment hunting and setting up electricity and internet. Not to mention it’s just a lot of work reapplying for all those things all at the same time, when you had 30+ years to accumulate them the first time.It’s suddenly an international call to talk to friends and family in the US, and unless you want to pay crazy US roaming fees forever, you’re going to want to switch to a Canadian mobility provider ASAP, which may also mean you need to pay off your remaining device balance. A pain, when the move itself is already expensive.If your car isn’t paid off, most auto loans explicitly forbid you from skipping the country with it unless you settle up or sell it. This was a huge unexpected expense for me. I elected to pay it off and ship it. In retrospect, I should have just sold it. Either way, it’s a big cash investment.Also, all your life savings? It’s in the wrong currency now. Start coming up with a plan for that.Oh, and credit rating? Back to zero. It’s like you just turned 18 again. Buying a house is about the only thing lenders will check foreign credit history for; otherwise you’re starting from nothing. And until you’re at least a permanent resident, be prepared to be asked for a Canadian co-signer to be approved for home loans. You probably take your current credit cards for granted, but they’re in the wrong currency too (conversion fee to use them, and second fee to pay them), and without any credit history your first Canadian one will likely require a security deposit, and it will take at least a year before you’re trusted with an unsecured one. (By the way, find a way to keep at least one US card somehow, with a US billing address. Another mistake I made.)All your favourite products and services you’ve spent a lifetime in the US developing habits around? They’re all “imports” now. Unless you’re made of money you’ll have to change your buying habits to figure out the Canadian-owned department stores, clothes retailers, hardware stores, etc. Even California wine and Jack Daniels whiskey are now found in the “imports” section, too, and priced accordingly (yes, of course many people still drink them, but a lot fewer when they suddenly cost so much more than similar quality local products). The Banana Republic pants that were my default nice work wear jumped from $70USD a pair to $180CAD a pair. When I was already cash-strapped from the move, it was time to find some Canadian pants I liked, fast.Similarly, many online services (Pandora, Hulu, certain Youtube videos) aren’t licensed to work here at all, and many e-commerce sites (that never say “US-only” anywhere on them) don’t ship here, or at best the international shipping costs are prohibitive. Some of them you don’t even figure out until you’ve gone through the entire shopping and checkout process only to have it choke on your shipping address or postal code. You’ll learn to really love any websites that have a .ca at the end because at least you’ll know they work here.If you follow politics (as most Americans interested in becoming expats for political reasons do), you’ll find the parliamentary system in Canada very different. Expect to understand very little of the political news until you’ve had a chance to learn how it works.And generally, stuff just feels *different*, and the general sense of alienation you feel at first is palpable. No one thing is hugely different, but a relentless flood of thousands of things are at least a little bit different all the time, giving you a constant Twilight Zone feeling for the first year or so. If you moved to China the differences would be no surprise, but for some reason Americans moving to Canada assume that things will be way more the same than they are.And then there are all the more fundamental differences:You’re an immigrant now. People will point out your American-looking clothes (you don’t believe me, but I’m serious), your funny figures of speech, your strange proclivity for imperial / US customary instead of metric units. Government processes will point out at every opportunity that you’re a newcomer here, and until you obtain permanent residence and citizenship, remind you not to get too comfortable since you’re only a visitor. You know all those Americans constantly asking “I don’t know why those people don’t just go back where they came from…” and “They’re taking our jobs…” and so on? At least many of “those people” were fleeing poverty and famine and war. Now you’re one of those people, and don’t really have a compelling life-and-death reason for being here. The vast majority of people are nice about it, but a few aren’t, especially if they’re unemployed or have an axe to grind, and all it takes is one of those comments every few days (even if it wasn’t even aimed at you specifically) to make you wonder if you’re really welcome here. Some Canadians seem to be bitter at Americans in general, so you have to have a thick skin and realize it’s not personal, and a lot of the time they’re just criticizing Americans in general for the same things you already criticize right-wing Americans for.“Once you’re here, you’re here.” Every visit to the States is an international trip, and your initial immigration status (especially if it’s a work permit visa) may place limitations on when and how you can cross the border, and your income taxes definitely place a limitation on how many days you can spend out of the country and/or specifically in the US. Prepare to feel a little bit trapped at first. At some points of the immigration process, you’re not allowed to leave the country at all for several weeks or months at a time. I always feared Murphy’s Law would mean a family crisis would choose exactly one of those times to happen. Oh, also, the US is one of only two countries in the world that requires you to file income taxes for life, in addition to FBAR financial reporting requirements for practically every dollar you own outside the US — you’ll come to resent this quickly, but it’s a good horror story to tell Canadians thinking about US citizenship.Others mentioned the metric system, and it wasn’t that per se (the adjustment from Fahrenheit to Celsius for weather reports and thermostats being the hardest, but otherwise most Americans know some metric from school), but the approach for some measurements in general is really different. Like how car mileage is measured in L/100Km instead of miles per gallon, so it’s totally upside down, with good fuel economy being a LOWER number like 10 and bad economy being 20, rather than the other way around. Gas prices in $CAD/Litre also take some getting used to, especially since the prices are much higher too — you basically just have to learn what’s good again (“$1.25/Litre? I need to remember that place!”) EDIT: It’s been pointed out to me that 10L/100Km is still pretty bad. See? I’m still struggling with this one.If you’re a gun aficionado, frankly, just forget it. When Americans rail on about gun ownership being a right, many Canadians view that almost as barbaric and backward as saying slave ownership is a “right” or forcing your daughter to marry the person of your choice is a “right.” Yes, there’s a well-defined process for legally owning a firearm, and a not insignificant number of Canadians do, but gun ownership is just talked about differently here; if anything, it’s a more of a practical necessity (like if you live in the Yukon and have to fend off bears), and therefore the Canadians who do own guns mostly view it as a dangerous and special privilege. And from a practical consideration, getting licensed to own and handle a gun in Canada is something that happens before you’re allowed to own your first gun, not after, so it’s no big deal for anyone who grew up here, but a total reset for someone who’s a new arrival: you’d have to sell most or all of your collection until you got your paperwork in order and could buy a gun again, would feel really uncomfortable with all the sudden regulatory hoops, and even after that constantly feel like you had a hobby that a lot of Canadians considered sort of “dirty.” I really can’t imagine any dedicated American gun fan feeling happy with the consequences to them of moving to Canada, and it’s the one American demographic for whom I think it’s a non-starter.Winters are long and dark. Coming from many places in the US, the latitude difference is significant. I never even realized I suffered from SAD until I moved here. Now it’s a challenge that haunts me 3–4 months out of every year. Especially in Vancouver, it’s not the winter cold that gets you — it’s the only 8 hours a day of daylight, most of those even being covered by relentless thick clouds for days or weeks at a time. It’s worth visiting in the winter first to see how the weather and the darkness affect you, because it’s hard (and costly) to change your mind after you’ve moved.No matter what you think, you ARE a racist and sexist, and Canada will prove it to you. You may be the nicest, most open-minded American you know, but immediately after you arrive in Canada it will strike you as “odd” that so many public leaders and people running for office in Canada or even faces on realtor signs are women, people of colour, recent immigrants, or people whose clothes make it clear they’re members of non-Christian religions. And you’ll wonder why. And then you’ll realize that even in urban, liberal constituencies in the US, the huge majority of people in power are old white Protestant Christian males, and your whole life you’d accepted that as what people in power simply look like. But that’s part of why you’re here: It will make you a better person, and readjust your assumptions about what makes an “average” person. But learning this about yourself can feel shameful and depressing initially, especially if you pride yourself on being open-minded. It happened to me.But on the flip side, Canada really gets it right — the things that many American liberals dream of. There are some “honeymoon is over” moments when you realize paperwork is always annoying no matter what country you live in, but in general, things here are good. After the first little while of fighting through the healthcare registration process, for example, you’ll find the actual experience pretty nice (especially emergency room visits — no paperwork at all other than your health card, and no bill at the end), and you’ll be genuinely baffled by conservative Canadians who claim they’d like it better the American way. Those are often fun conversations (“And then in the US your private insurance company gives you a book or website with the list of the 30% or so doctors in town that are eligible for you to go to under their specific plan, and even then, your insurance may just decide it doesn’t want to pay them half the time and there’s almost nothing you can do about it….”) Same goes for government, schools, labyrinthine American income taxes versus the simpler Canadian ones, and so on. It’s not black and white, but on the average, things up here are definitely better. Just definitely different.Best of luck.
