In Pembroke, Ontario, certain parking spots now display a new insignia.
The areas outside the Pembroke OPP station at 77 International Dr. that display the handshake symbol are designed to serve as community safety zones for online transactions.
If you purchase something online and need to meet someone in person to pay for it or pick it up, there are locations you may use to guarantee everyone’s safety, according to the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP.
According to an OPP news release, “Project Safe Trade aims to establish a ‘community safety zone’ at an OPP detachment parking lot to facilitate online property transactions.” “The idea behind establishing a ‘community safety zone’ is to shift online transactions from private parking lots, homes, and other locations to public spaces.”
There is no need for appointments; the secure trading locations will be open at all times.
“The busy holiday season is approaching, making this the perfect time for the local launch of Project Safe Trade.” According to Steph Neufeld, commander of the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP detachment, “online property transactions are on the rise, and the UOV OPP is pleased to be initiating a community safety initiative aimed at decreasing offences related to online marketplace transactions.” “Project Safe Trade and other collaborative methods can lessen victimization and harm in our communities.”
Const. Mike Mahon told CTV News that the areas also offer a means of assisting in preventing the potential of becoming a victim of fraud.
“If it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” goes the saying. Particularly if you’re asking that they meet here and they’re really hesitant, then you should be concerned,” he stated.
According to the OPP, police will not function as witnesses, mediators, or providers of documents in relation to transactions. However, if an officer is called, they will come and only get involved if the transaction turns into a criminal case
World’s Hairiest Girl Embraces Change After Meeting Soulmate – See Her New Look
Supatra ‘Natty’ Susuphan, once known as ‘The World’s Hairiest Girl,’ has transformed her life. Natty, 17, from Bangkok, Thailand, battled Ambras Syndrome, causing excessive hair growth. Guinness World Records recognized her in 2010. She used laser treatments, but now shaves to maintain her look.
Natty found love and posted on social media: “You’re not just my first love, you’re the love of my life.” Ambras Syndrome was once misunderstood, leading to stigma. Natty faced teasing and cruel nicknames like ‘Wolf Girl’ and ‘Chewbacca’ in school. However, her family and friends supported her.
Natty’s perspective is inspiring. She said, “Being hairy makes me special.” Despite the teasing, she’s grown accustomed to her condition and hopes for a cure someday. Her journey highlights self-acceptance and the importance of a supportive network.
It’s a testament to resilience and redefining beauty on one’s terms.
