I Asked a Travel Forum Member for Guidance, and He Asked Me to Pay

I thought people in this travel forum helped one another. Last week, I saw a man post that the Canadian Embassy had approved his application. I contacted him privately, hoping he could explain what steps to take and what I would need. After I shared my number, he messaged me on WhatsApp and said I would have to pay him for help. I was surprised and felt he might not be telling the truth. I asked him to help only if he genuinely wanted to, and he agreed but then disappeared. I know not everyone is like this, but please be careful when seeking travel advice and don’t send money without verifying who you’re dealing with.
