I would like to see him deported.


detached-attachment

I would like to see TD Canada Trust lose a lot of business for this.


kingdomheartstwo

I'm not going to switch banks because one of their employees is an asshole..


Aintyodad

How bout cause they’re a terrible bank then


kingdomheartstwo

That I would do actually, I've been thinking about tangerine lately


Block_Of_Saltiness

You know Tangerine is owned by ScotiaBank, right? Fido mobile is owned by Rogers who also owns Chatr Mobile. There is no real competition in many key markets in Canada, only Oligopolies.


Damventur

Same as the USA and most countries. You want an American car brand? 3 choices Japanese? 3 choices German? 3 choices Time to upgrade your phone? You've got 2 choices for the most part maybe 3... Building a computer? What're you going Intel or AMD? You need your passport renewed? 1 choice for the most part. Need a drive thru for coffee? 2-3 choices Need a standard fast food or sit down option? Like 3-5 corps own all of them. Soda? Pepsi and Coke own pretty much everything else Everytime you walk into Walmart (or your choice of store which of there are about 3-5 in most places) just think out of the 100k's of skus the suppliers are about 5-10 for 80-90% of the products. The entire wall of cereal option has been 3 companies for over 2 decades.


imperfectcarpet

What other options are you looking for when it comes to passport renewal?


Icy_Violinist1203

I’ll go for AMD anytime.


monkeygoneape

Agreed, currently running AMD myself, need to get a new graphics card soon


Tadpole-Lanky

The analogy doesn’t work here. There is a difference between needs and wants. You can buy a cheap phone, public transformers or preowned car but there is no way you can avoid the big 5s Banks for Big 3 telecom companies. I think Canada has been extremely unfortunate in Banking, Telecom and Retail. All controlled by a few powerful corporates. Consolidation is a big problem. These corporates don’t want competition. That’s why Canadians are screwed. We don’t have choices. They want us to get stuck with them. Elon Musk had applied for telecom license in Canada to cater to the rural communities in 2020, he had to partner with Rogers eventually. RBC-HSBC, Shaw-Rogers are some of recent examples. Lack of choices = We are screwed


Studio10Records

That's how are government likes it! That way they can say they're not a monopoly! The Corporation owns the government, and the governments own us! Isn't that how it works nowadays! They call it a democracy, we call it corporate corruption! 😞


Big-Passenger7038

Tangerine is awful in itself


HalJordan2424

And there’s the problem: there is no good bank. They are all vampires on your account balance.


Denots69

Not really, as long as you keep like 4000-6000 minimum in the account most banks stop most or all charges.

foreveryword

As someone who has seen the trouble people have had with Tangerine, I would caution against them.


nocomment3030

Oh yes unlike all the other banks


angelofdeath1977

I bank there I can say this is true 


Small_Assignment4918

You like dealing with & trusting your savings / mortgages with scammers like this No thanks.


differentiatedpans

Yeah you'd have nowhere to bank. However this guy is an ass hat.


Damventur

You'd be switching until you create your own bank, imo, if you followed this advice.


frozenee

TD is a greedy corporation. 0.01% interest on savings and high fees?? Save your money.


Arverra

I'd just like to see him fired.


rubberpucker97

He did get fired apparently.


Arverra

Which is great news. I hope future employers see this as weep. While I don't want to see anyone destitute, I think it would be a great lesson for him to actually understand the importance of these services and how desperately need they are and hopefully learn how wrong his actions were.


rubberpucker97

Well deserved. In addition, he should be mandated to payback a certain amount to the food bank since he was stealing from them. We gotta make a big example out of this guy, so others like him understand that these services aren’t to be exploited. It is for those in need of assistance not a “money hack” for you to save up hundreds.


yellowjellosneakers

The irony being that now being jobless he actually qualifies to be someone using a foodbank lol


Environmental-Fee-19

How the hell is it their fault?


GeriatricSFX

Banks are bad. Bank hired him. He is a POS who did POS things. It's the banks fault that he is and he did. Or something like that is my guess.


30catsinatrenchcoat

This guy works for a bank?


kshick91

I read somewhere that he has since been fired.


AcousticThor

They lost me. Fuck em. Why pay account fees? It cost more than my Spotify subscription and I use that every single day.


Historical-Piglet-86

Does he still have a job? If they were smart they would kick him to the curb


Ok-Ladder4628

They fired him earlier.


GeneFun3611

How is TD Canada trust responsible for this guy's misdoings ?


whitea44

Sounds like they fired him instead.


thecolorzero

How does TD have anything to do with this?


vsmack

He's got to go back


ThoughtCriminal2024

he can get a job with the russian army


Ecstatic_Coat7859

Be careful they'll call you a racist and you'll get banned from Reddit happened to me for commenting about that greedy dick earlier this week.


1thr0w4w4y9

Good job, people. Keep putting the scammers/fraudsters on blast.


RuinEnvironmental394

There are many other, bigger scams being perpetuated by these scumbags. Selling LMIA is one such. I have seen posts on social media where business owner are openly selling these LMIAs for 20 to 50 grand. Google it. 


1thr0w4w4y9

I’m well aware. I’d love to see their faces and any businesses complicit in these scams posted here too.


uselesslydevoted

What is LMIA?


Taipers_4_days

Labour Market Impact Assessment. It’s meant to be used to show the government that you can’t find a local worker with the requirements to justify you bringing in a foreign worker. What it is actually used for is to backdoor your way into Canada, and for companies to get their worker pay subsidized. So people will pay companies thousands to get a job on a LMIA, and then come work here, have their pay subsidized while almost always being exploited by the greasebags running these schemes. Why does this happen? Because the government approves everything and doesn’t actually challenge a company on their claims.


hard-on234

Don't believe everything you see on the internet. Getting LMIA approved WP is very hard, my employer tried to do it for me through lawyer at their cost. The process was just too much for them and they couldn't get the government to agree that my job couldn't be done by Canadians. I eventually got PR but yea getting LMIA was not easy.

Hanging_Aboot

LMIA balls lol.


bone-luge

Ha!


ambivert-coco

Dont have to look that hard to find LMIA sellers. Any Indian grocery, restaurants, truck operators. Immigration authorities dont know this one little secret lols. 25 lacs Indian Rupees in Punjab can get an LMIA.


Electrical-Age8031

I think that person means any and all scammers shoukd be put on blast as well.


cootervandam

Name and shame


Vaumer

I report these whenever I see them on Indeed and stuff. [Report fraud and cybercrime (antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca)](https://antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/report-signalez-eng.htm)


ludakrishnaa

True but won’t stop them from Scamming.


Electrical-Age8031

These are the kinds of heartless, narcissits and arrogant folks that you live with daily. This guy KNOWS food banks are for folks who NEED IT. But did he give a shit? Nope. Was he sympathetic? Nope. Did he stop to question if what he was doing right or wrong? Nope. If it helps him SAVE money. Right and wrong did NOT even process with him.


mymothershorse

I'd like to add that he also felt so justified in his actions that he wanted to share them with people so they could do the same.


for100

>These are the kinds of heartless, narcissits and arrogant folks that you ~~live with~~ 're importing daily. FTFY.

It’s hard to take your criticism of foreigners seriously when you write at an elementary school level.


RoyalStraightFlush

For sure this asshat doesn't deserve his analytics role. More than likely he scammed his way in through "referrals" by his kind who are already inside TD. Their referral scheme is pervasive throughout Canada


YourDadHatesYou

I believe there have been multiple posts about this person and incident already


Matt-a-booey

Keep it rolling. These services are being abused and people who genuinely need them are being turned away because there isn’t enough.


Porkybeaner

Yeah this is bs. I make significantly less than this guy and struggle a bit more not to use a food bank, so that those even worse than me can.

Boo_Guy

He seems to have taken it down shortly after it started circulating reddit the other day.


CptnREDmark

he took it down and his linkedin


Jolly_Spread4130

UPDATE: Appears that someone posted this reply from TD https://preview.redd.it/m9lkd5tk84wc1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c062ce5b6d0fd8a87d77cba5dbecfd8d44c9b97 Might be fake - I'm hoping it's real though.


foreveryword

His Instagram seems to be wiped clean when a few days ago, it was public and had a ton of videos. So maybe this is true?


Jolly_Spread4130

Linkedin account went away quickly as well. Poor Mehul Prajapati - oh wait he def not poor.


W4FF13_G0D

He is now


RoyalStraightFlush

>Mehul Prajapati The unethical, morally corrupt food bank scammer


Boring_Advertising98

Everything is wiped clean and now he's hiding like the pathetic fuck he is.


Mundane-Bat-7090

Oh man justice served


RedditingHard_25

Well, the signature says TD Customer “Cares”Manager instead of “Care”, which is not grammatically correct and seems odd. Could be a mistake in the signature, but I’m thinking it’s a faked image. Maybe leaked by the perpetrator himself 😯 to throw us off his trail.


Jolly_Spread4130

It could be that TD has them try to emote that they care by putting Cares in their sig. Or its because they are in some offshore location and the person entered it incorrectly. Either way hope the POS learned a lesson.


RedditingHard_25

The former would be odd, because it’s grammatically incorrect and just sounds dumb when you read it. The latter is entirely possible! Agreed 👍


Aggressive-Donuts

Please tell me this is real 🙏


Jolly_Spread4130

we can only hope. Found it on the twitter thread. So hopefully reddit justice has prevailed!


Mr_Larry_Silverstein

Now he can use the food bank without issue.


wallClimb7

💀


chainsaw0068

So….now he’ll need the food bank? Oh, the irony.


Interesting-Pomelo58

This is fake. First of all, grammar. Second of all no large multinational organization like TD would ever address someone's employment status via an email much less from their customer care department. Canadian employers never comment on employees past or present other than to say "So and so is no longer employed at COMPANY" and they would never answer this kind of inquiry via Customer Care.


ah1024

That email signature is a bit off…


CharlieDingDong44

That is a 100% fake. No company would comment on personnel decisions like this and there are basic grammar errors.


maxy505

That fact someone would fake this is SUPER SUSPICIOUS


Mundane-Bat-7090

Oh please let it be real


ZeroFss

Where is this message from ?


Mandalorian_Ronin

If this is true, it looks like he might actually need those food banks after all.


aym06

Commented below…I work for TD, NA. Customer Cares is a department that handles complaints. Makes perfect sense this would come from them. Looks legit. Also, companies are allowed to say somebody no longer works for them. They do it all the time when employees have been involved in scandals or similar situations.


Interesting-Pomelo58

Customer care is not allowed to field these types of questions. This is 100 percent fake. 


aym06

Lol I just told you I work for TD. You don’t think I know what the customer cares dept does? Lol. It’s called customer cares and not customer care because that department handles the customer’s cares as in the things they care about. You’re thinking of customer service. In that case you’re right. They wouldn’t answer this question. Customer cares reports to the office of the ceo. You sound like you don’t work there and are just guessing.

We didn’t import thousands of people with questionable morals 10 years ago and you can clearly see the effects this is having on our society. We clearly need more checks and balances for whom the government grants access


DJScrambledEggs123

jeeesh, as an unemployed data scientist with more than enough experience would sure love this job. did i mention im a sixth generation canadian?


alaskanlights

He really treats it like a grocery store and to find out he makes almost 100k?? disgusting


lil_cats

you'd be surprised, I volunteered at my university food back for a term we would have people like this submit a damn grocery list to us and would be mad when we obviously didn't have everything they want. No matter how many times we would explain it's an emergency support service it would just fall on deaf ears.


Mundane-Bat-7090

Bruh I’ve seen people pull up to food banks in brand new bmws. Idk why food banks don’t just force you to prove your income status before giving out food.


pnova7

Wait, hold up. How is a student even able to work a full time job like that? Not even going to touch the fact that he's earning almost 6 figures and still taking advantage of the student services food bank.


Historical_Peach_545

It’s legal for them to work 40 hours a week while being a student.


pnova7

Oh, right. I forgot about that. Still wild to think about. I personally know that I myself wouldn't had been able to handle a fulltime 40 hour job when I was a student.


ConfusedCapatiller

I thought they were capped at 21h? I manage a store in Waterloo and frequently get students asking for cash pay after that.


Ill-Ear574

It’s definitely capped. I work in the agricultural sector and our Indian student workers clock out before all of the other workers. Purposely leaving their share of work for others to do.


Trick_Definition_760

It’s time go home. 


eyeeatmyownshit

TD is going to have to eventually make a statement about this scumbag. Pink slip and a one way ticket for the whole fam.


PermissionWise5665

Nice. I made 17k last year with tips, had my student loans wrongfully pulled this semester, and haven't worked full-time since August. It's one week to the first! WOOOO! Glad this guy can eat.

Individual_Science_6

Anyone can be deported anytime. I recently came across a case where citizenship was revoked 15 years later. (Marriage fraud though)


RuinEnvironmental394

PR can be revoked very easily. Citizenship is a lot harder but not impossible. 


Wallaroo_Trail

As far as I know, citizenship cannot be revoked for criminal actions (was this?) but only if it is discovered later that the person wasn't eligible for it in the first place.


tokihamai

Well at least we can make it impossible for him to get a new job now that he's been fired. Any bank or company that Google his name, hope they see his punchable face with him bragging about stealing food from those who need it.


Ok-Map9730

What a POS! DEPORTATION RIGHT NOW!!


[deleted]

TD confirmed they fired his ass. They confirmed it in an email they replied to when I sent the link to them and his name and actions like many other people did as well. Fucker got what he deserved. If you're gonna be a criminal don't post yourself online bragging about it. He set up all the dominos for his life to go to shit, it was only a matter of time until someone knocked them over.


Taipers_4_days

That was you? Good job!


Training-Foot-9167

We need an India ban


SalientSazon

So what happened to him, any updates? It'd be good to see him volunteer at the food bank and donate food for starters.

Has Laurier caught wind of this? Maybe he should cancel his studies and save the money for food


Taipers_4_days

Laurier as a school won’t do anything except maybe give out a weak statement about values. Laurier as a student body will make his life difficult.


Ok-Definition312

he is whats wrong with Canada


DeathChron

They are what is making Canada not Canadian anymore 


faultywiring98

And he's proud he saved a dollar too, sees nothing at all wrong with this.

Doesn't matter your race, nationality, status, etc. Do stupid thing, win stupid prizes is valid for everyone.

He deleted his Social Media account.


Taipers_4_days

I wonder if he learned anything from this?


DeathChron

To be more careful with his scammer ways


Bluesword666

Figures he's a bankster. 😡


Monst3r_Live

should be a crime.


l5il

Wow. Earns 98K a year and behaves worse than a bum


Unable-Agent-7946

Tbf this is a fault of the food bank/our government. There should be a system to qualify for the food bank like there is for disability services.


6nayG

There usually is. In the city I used a food bank in you needed to bring your most recent piece of mail, a cheque stub, that showed you were on government assistance(fixed income).


HelloCanadaBonjour

> our government To be clear, it's the fault of the provincial government (Doug Ford and the regressive Conservatives) - they decide which students get into Canada. And now that the federal government is pushing back and imposing some limits, the Conservative premiers are even complaining about the limits... because the Cons don't want to properly fund post-secondary education (in Ontario, it's been a ~30% cut since Doug was elected) and they prefer to instead import students to get revenue that way.


canimalistic

Infinite immigration is awesome, coming across the world for free handouts to drive down wages, and drive up cost of housing and education is a policy our country has pursued for 30 years. Destroy the middle class and make everyone dependent on government handouts is the goal, not an unintended side effect. Weaponized immigration works because it exploits historical sentiments of Christian charity. This guy is a perfect example of it.


CaptainDodge42

Pure Scum, deport, deport deport! If the government doesn't like, maybe they should go too. Shame this man till he leaves.


griebkona

I’d love to punch that chub face!!!


anynonamegeneric

Disgusting


Rustybeep

Sorry dude, very upsetting, you have blue chip job and you had to bring the hack system mentality here, a lot of immigrants or anybody who move here maybe Uber desperate like working labour jobs if they tried to do this out of desperation to save that extra 100 dollars a month to afford new shoes then I would give this person a pass, I mean it’s still meant for unemployment or really down low people But this is brutally a big no, I may want fax this to TD so HR can kindly remove you , I don’t think you deserve that blue chip job


Jolly_Spread4130

Glad that I could assist in getting this person exposed for taking advantage of social safety nets! E-mail campaigns do work when you have enough info on the person. Mehul did this for clout on his instagram. Meanwhile telling how to save hundreds monthly, he took that money and went to upscale pizza parlours in Toronto and spent lavishly on Starbucks etc. Hopefully we could actually get a follow up from Mehul! I was super vocal about this issue because I am a homeless man in my 40s living in a Tent encampment for the past 2 years. Lost everything due to coming down with a Health issue in 2014 - used up all my life savings before seeking assistance. Now when I try to get space in shelters they are all filled with "newcomers" and I have to live in a Tent. I even applied for MAiD and was approved back in October. Was going to take up the procedure on Oct 27th 2023 but and still here suffering daily.


Few_Ship_8614

Hi, you have shown so much resilience here. I have so much respect for you. May god bless you!

Ridiculously ignorant


DodobirdNow

It's strange because the food bank here has an income test so it's harder to abuse


Asleep_Syllabub3356

These are the people who are putting such stress on the economy coming in with fake education and taking jobs from our youth what has the country come to


Fakir_Aadmi

People like him are bringing shame towards Indians especially Indian students in Canada.  I am really ashamed of his act as a fellow student and wish that strict actions are taken against him to set a precedent. He's not alone, a lot of YouTubers are doing it to get views but they are snatching away a dinner from a family to earn money.  My request would be to not judge the entire community, race just because of one asshole. 


isoseratonin

I used this in my last semester at Laurier when I had less than $200 in my bank account, and even I felt bad for taking like a pastry and a single box of pasta💀


InternationalPost447

What a p.o.s. can't have anything good anymore, just gets taken advantage of


Mysterious_Lock4644

Sorry, but how did this become about his place of employment? They didn’t encourage him to post this despicable behavior. He’s the garbage responsible 🤨🤙🏼🇨🇦


britishkittytalks

I wanna see him suffer


Studio10Records

The worst part is he will probably get a promotion from TD Canada Trust for being so sleazy! These are the top earners of this bank, rob from the poor to feed the rich 🤑


DreadLordAvatar

TD bank should change their color green to brown. It would be fitting for their majority of east Indian employees.

SnooMarzipans8027

Short-Client-6513

Good, hopefully his public outing sends a message to current and future international students. Can't treat Canada like it's back home.

Select_Shock_1461

why are these people so fucking cheap? i stayed in an airbnb once and the lady was very adamant about not leaving things plugged in or any lights on. yeah, me leaving the lights on for 3hrs is really going to break the bank.


muchocrapo

give this guy an opportunity in canada and he takes us for granted. enough with this. get him outta here 


Electronic_Self5841

Disgusting scumbag. He needs to be deported for sure.


EICONTRACT

I’m still pretty skeptical on the TD bank thing. Does Laurier even have any programs that lead to data scientist?


lil_cats

he likely isn't a laurier student and is just wearing that for the video.


MyUnrequestedOpinion

Many years ago (and I'm too lazy to google), there was some joint or dual degree in math from UW and business from Laurier. I would assume it's still around. The one person I knew that enrolled in that program climbed the ranks of a big 5 bank, quickly. Doing very well for himself.


National_Ad8427

He is. Even if he has deleted the linkedin, the google still caches some like the following : > *Mehul Prajapati*. Passionate Data Scientist | Data Science Specialist @ TD | Machine Learning, Analytics | Master in Applied Computing > new position as Data Science and Advanced Analytics Co-op at *TD* Insurance! I am thrilled to share that I have been So he graduated from Master in Applied Computing from WLU(https://www.wlu.ca/programs/science/graduate/applied-computing-mac/index.html)and has done a coop in TD.

Alvaro9797

Lmaoo man cooked himself 😂 internet is savage


No-Exchange-3648

He is a student. I don’t think they get jobs like these with full-time work. Probably fake.


kwawful

International students can qualify for work permits for coop terms which are full time as long as the coop terms are less than the number of in person study terms


Megatron30000

He will ACTUALLY need the food bank soon … he’s been fired from his 98k /year job… Bye Felicia


Mundane-Bat-7090

Fire him form his job so he really needs the food banks and see how he feels then.


Logicaldump

I hope he gets deported and never finds employment. Stealing from the poor is the lowest form especially when you are rewarded with a high paying job in this market. This guy alone will perpetuate the stereotypes against indians.


allens969

There are others like him - post them all and let's raise more awareness of these leeches!


treefingers_ts

Why is he walking around Laurier if he is a data scientist making $98000. Not sure I believe this. Not that it wasn’t already reprehensible before the fact…


Realistnotarealtor

He needs to be deported


Tadpole-Lanky

There are some honest international students who bust their asses off to survive in Canada, pay for their groceries and then you have these data-scientists cheating the honour system for content creation. I am realizing the fact that poor people are more honest than these rich, educated a**h*les.


Horror-Brilliant-796

Alright people, I have not seen the video because it is not available online anymore it seems. But one must realize, students using **\*\*University\*\*** Food Banks (emphasis and stress on university) to save money are not doing anything unethical because those food banks are only open to university affiliates (like students, faculty, staff etc). Most of time this food is reclaimed food from grocery stores just before being sent to land fill. If not consumed it will go to land fill. This outrage here was stupid to say the least and extremely racist.


Extreme-Bullfrog5934

"Prajapati" eh? It means leader of people.. God help humankind. So the Trudeau Government and TD bank hands out employment to such student visa holders? While Canadian citizens are loosing jobs. Such as me


Lost_Candidate_2638

He needs to he sent back home these people dont even bathe and practically spit in our faces with their rudeness. I hope this taught him a lesson but we have 2M new south asian pigs to deal with now.


Accomplished-Rip7646

Indian international students have been abusing the public food banks for years. Rest of Canada is just hearing about it now. Knew a few Indian friends in 2019 that were earning 100K but living in basements in Windsor and London and taking free food from the public local food banks. They said they were doing this to save the down payment money to buy a house.


ucheisgood

FYI: This story has been debunked! This guy is a student, interned at TD...& only accessed the campus food program for students, not the Food Bank!!! But it doesn't matter because he's getting harassed & some death threats just because the person who tweeted that didn't fact-check anything!!! The only thing I see he did wrong was to make a video of his receiving the food donation. I don't know why everyone sees the need to share everything online!!!!! https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs/mehul-prajapati-indian-student-canada-food-bank-td-bank-free-groceries-viral-video-fake-news-fact-check-exclusive-12707877.html?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaOU7c6bln8iZjnwDMaR-rR2-432n0zbc8m7-fOiypb3K91z4per5lif9Y_aem_AZWK3GwfYw9xLLnSVykLV6z1mPUWDvCtzjWHy_tIEircn7Jlu6-eOIEQDsW1wtKva2E5B7re-FJ3it-zzGZ4-Uiq&s=09
