Hi, I am new to Canada and currently living in Vancouver, BC. I was looking for opportunities in the Financial Services industry in the Metro Vancouver Area. I have about 3 years of experience in the Banking/Financial Services and HealthTech industry and worked alongside IBM and PwC in developing and implementing cutting-edge FinTech products for business clients of a Financial Institution and led the Finance and data science team at a Health tech startup. Let me know if anyone can help me.
how much shall i expect in hand?

Update, I looked up the carrier of his number and it’s an Internet operator. Someone online also said he met this guy on dating app and 2 weeks later the guy asked for money. Scammers play long games nowadays. Be careful everyone
Sorry that just sucks
Ask to FaceTime before you meet! A little ft date
If you haven’t FaceTimed yet, that’s a red flag. Most people I know have done the dirty within 10 days of speaking to someone.
Also, if he said “diner is boring without you,” then maybe he isn’t too smart unless he is at a diner.
Meet in person asap for coffee or something. Any excuse not to in reasonable time = block

Uhh, how is dinner boring without you if y'all have never met in person and had dinner together? 🤔
People catfish for a bunch of reasons. May not necessarily be a scam, and may not necessarily be a catfish. But also trust your gut and be safe. I’d try to meet in person sooner than later, if it feels safe to do so. And if it doesn’t, I’d probably just cease contact. But that’s just some stranger on the internet’s opinion.
I had doubts but now I’m fairly sure he’s a catfish. The guy is playing a very long game but I’ll see how this turns out while keeping my personal info safe. I’m too vested at this point
Use the “reverse lookup” app if you have his phone number to get his name. Then Facebook him
Catfish back! Ask him for money!
Lol this is exactly what I am going through rn. Matched on Hinge, been sweet talking nonstop for a week with occasional thirst traps but no ft (also weirdly, I was trained in life science and has a tragic family cancer history). We found each other’s Instagram and LinkedIn so that helped. Finally going to meet up this Saturday. Just want to let you know that there are authentic people out there who are just too shy ☺️
LinkedIn?? I mean I don’t use Facebook anymore either but LinkedIn is awkward

Good job on being aware. Too good to be true is always a catfish/scam.
Meet in person! 2 weeks is my max to talk to a guy without meeting in person if not I move on
