Years ago got locked out of my house late one night, called a "locksmith" but it was just some rando Israeli dude with a drill who scams people. I learned afterwards fake locksmiths are apparently big thing and it's largely an Israeli thing weirdly enough. Very easy to just catch victims googling randomly in a pinch.
He "charged" $650 and when I heard the price immediately knew the entire thing was a huge scam operation. Didn't want to have a confrontation with this shady individual in my house late at night. He actually took a check and I called the bank first thing I could and stopped payment on it. Thankfully it worked, the bank called me the next day when he tried to cash it confirmimg they shouldn't.
So bullet dodged and lesson learned for free thankfully.

You canceled a check on an Israeli that knows where you live. That takes some serious balls.

Yes I actually was a bit nervous about that for a few days at least. Kept a keen lookout for awhile and I got gunz.

First fiancé. Just started my career with the NWS in Kalispell, MT, and she had to have this expensive ring. I took out a loan through the local credit union to pay for said ring. She calls off the engagement - keeps the ring. Took several years to pay off the loan - but established good credit to secure a second credit card (separate from American Express). Also assisted her for several years as she was working as a flight attendant with Continental Airlines making measly pay and was also furloughed on several occasions. She was based in Houston - so the relationship was mostly long distance. This was back in the mid '90s.

Probably one of the 2 or 3 "lifetime" gym memberships I bought when I was young. The one where you don't read the fine print and realize later it was a loan and it was a finance deal you got through a 3rd party. Yes, even when they boarded up and went out of business you still owed.

Why does the breakdown say this?
When the restaurant charged $8050 for 23 oz.? Much of the breakdown is incorrect when compared to the receipt.

Some club on Bourbon. These two strippers took me upstairs and blowed me while the boss charged me an entertainment fee when scanning my card for beers. Never again.

I once bought a half ounce but it turned out to be drywall plaster.

No option to file a lien?
I know a lien isn't much but it let's them (and the public) know their frickers.

Get a divorce and see how the courts rip off men.
Criminal.
But better than being married to a whore.

First used vehicle I ever bought on my own
Mine was a 91 Celica I got for $4,800 back in 2000 but the interest rate was 20%. I was in the military and desperately needed a vehicle. I wrecked it 4 months later, total loss, waited a month and bought my truck for 5,000 at 6% interest. That truck lasted 14 years though.
