Hi, saw your post in the Brampton students group. Do you know a good way to send money home?9:41
I just use Wise or my bank's app. You see the rate and the fee before you pay.9:42
It took about an hour for my mom to get it in Pune. Happy to show you on Friday after class.9:42

Hi, saw your post in the Brampton students group. You change CAD to rupees?9:41
Yes bro. Today I give ₹64 per dollar, bank gives only ₹61. I do this every week for students.9:42
Send the CAD by Interac e-Transfer first to ravifx.exchange@gmail.com and your family gets the rupees in India the same day. Send screenshot after.9:42

Always check the rate.

A stranger from a group chat beats the bank's rate, but only if you send your dollars first. The rupees never arrive, and an e-Transfer can't be pulled back.

Always checkThe real oneThe scam
1Where it livesIs it the real company's or person's own address or number?

Neha, a student from your college group.

An "exchange" account from the same group, a stranger.

2What it asks you to doDoes it want a password, a payment, a call, or a tap?

Use Wise or your bank's app, where you see the rate and the fee before you pay.

Send your dollars by e-Transfer first, and trust him to pay your family.

3How hard it pushesCheck firstIs there a deadline, a threat, or a surprise charge?

No deal to grab, just advice.

₹64 a dollar when the bank gives ₹61.

RememberNever send money first to a stranger who promises a better rate. Use your bank or a real transfer app.
