I would like to share with you and the Deaf community

have very limited seating but they will reserve some seats for the Deaf people

free.
If some Deaf people are interested to go there,
they're welcome to. It's free. Let me know who's interested so I'll let them
know how many seating to hold. Can't be a drop in or walk in. They need to know
before. Smile.
Thanks so much!
Have a lovely day!

Public Advisory from City of Winnipeg Police- March is Fraud Awareness Month!
Tuesday,
March 1, 2016
Be Aware & Avoid Being Victimized - March Is Fraud Awareness Month
These events include:
- National
Twitter event – March 8th, 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., 2 Good 2 B
True Day at #2G2BT hosted by the Competition Bureau at @CompBureau
- Twitter
conversation - March 22th, 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.,
#WPSFraudSquad, you can even submit your questions in advance this year

- Third
annual “Shred It” Event - March 24th, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
at St. Vital Mall parking lot outside Silver City. A maximum of two
bags or boxes per person to this FREE event please.
The Winnipeg Police Service would like to remind citizens of the following:
- Never send money to anyone you
only know from an unsolicited phone call or email
- Avoid providing sensitive
personal information online or over the phone in situations you did not
initiate
- Research any request for money
before making a commitment
- Find a “Fraud Buddy” – someone
whose advice you respect – and run any request for money by them before
you commit to it.
- Never feel pressured to make a
quick decision, and
- If it sounds too good to be
true, it probably is.
One of the most debilitating frauds that we have seen in Winnipeg is the Romance Scam. With the internet, dating sites and social media we have more ways to connect with people than ever. Unfortunately these are also the tools used by predators and scammers.
The scammer will imbed herself/himself into the victim’s life and develop a relationship over a period of time. Eventually the scammer will begin to manipulate the victim to provide money for travel expenses, paying off foreign governments, or medical expenses. When the victim finally realizes that they have been in a relationship with a scammer they are left not only broken hearted, but also with a financial loss. Most victims of the Romance Scam that Winnipeg Police Service Commercial Crime Unit has spoken with do not realize how much they have given the scammer, yet in 2015 the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre found that the average loss was $25,000.00 per victim. There were 672 victims who lost $16,889,780.67.
If you or someone know is involved in a potential romance scam contact the Winnipeg Police Service to make a report or go to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website, http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/fraud-escroquerie/types/romance-rencontre/index-eng.htm
