If you've ever had your personal information stolen, you know it can be really frightening. Not to mention inconvenient. There are so many calls you have to make - filing a report, straightening out which payments are fraudulent, getting a new credit card, etcetera. Not to mention, it can be an extremely lengthy process, too. So that's why if you were ever a fraud victim, you know this man is a true hero.

Most people never win a single thing in their entire lives. As kids, you do everything to get a prize of some sort, whether it is a stuffed animal in a fair or a silly trophy from a bingo game, it is always fun to win a prize just because. I never won a thing in my life, and I pretty much gave up on my hope to ever win anything, so I cannot begin to imagine how disappointing it might be to actually win something and have it taken away, like what happened to the person in this Reddit story. Afte…

At 5:30 am, one person was enjoying some sleep on their weekend, when they heard a ‘ding’ from their phone. Who on earth would text at this hour? Well, lots of people, if it were an emergency. But it wasn't… it was a recruiter, and they were offering the person a job. This job sounded enticing indeed, as it was part-time, and it was $250 per hour. Or… was it? I can smell a scam from a mile away, and anyone who texts me that isn't on my contact list raises my immediate suspicion. Who are you, ho…

Any front desk employee can tell you that more often than not, some fishy things are happening behind that counter. Even the most prestige establishment can get entangled in some ugly business. With that being said, it can be worrisome to think about the fact that many of these establishments have repeated access to extremely personal information of their clients. Like the hotel in this Reddit story. A front desk clerk wrote to Reddit with the concern that her hotel was doing wrong by its guest…

"Getting fired is the least of your worries"

Surgery is expensive in America. Sometimes insurance covers a little bit here and there, but if they don't, you could be looking at a hefty bill with a couple commas in the total balance. That's why, when this teenaged girl was diagnosed with benign tumors in her breast, she wasn't jumping for joy like most people do when they find out they're cancer-free...

It seems like we're always getting email promos for 10% off or 20% discounts to our favorite retail stores. Very rarely, you see a 40-50% sale and only when a store is going out of business do you catch anything higher than 75% off. That's why when one cashier spotted a Karen waltzing into their store with a 99% off coupon, they smelled something fishy.

Everyone hates scams, in all their ugly forms, and that includes those pesky spam phone calls from ‘unknown’ numbers that provide that all too familiar shady feeling in your stomach. Sometimes curiosity might get the better of you, so you pick up, and hear that convincing tone saying, ‘Can you hear me?’. After which you reply, ‘Yes’, they immediately launch into their race of a conversation.

Tim was the type of employee who did the bare minimum and expected a promotion. He was certain he was a critical cog in the machine, working in a department that reported to the mayor — much thanks to his father, who was a bigshot lawyer. The thing is, Tim had difficulty doing even basic tasks and was more of a thorn in his boss's side than anything else. After an egregious event at work, Tim was fired. Before you feel bad for the dude, he was technically offered the opportunity to resign. But…

When attempting to scam someone out of thousands of dollars, you might want to pick a weaker target (Not that I'm handing out tips, but let's be honest). This lawyer spared no effort in trying to throw his client under the bus, but this endeavor quickly went south, resulting in instant karma. What took place is the following: Mr. Attorney hotshot had the audacity to be angry at his client for leaving an honest review about his ‘work’ online. Once aware of said review, he demanded furiously that…

Do you hear the ancestral lifestyle calling?

The stereotype of the sleazy salesman is one that holds very true to reality. There are far too many people in the trade who will do anything it takes to close a sale and there are also far too many industries breeding these manipulators. Part of it is the fault of commission-based work: When you work with no guarantee of consistent pay, you're likely to turn to drastic methods to put food on the table. You usually then realize that there's no ceiling to your income as long as you can close an…

“I thought I'd start a series where I'd just lie and say the most insane things that surely no one would believe…”

Bowl Cut never stood a chance.

The irony is unreal.

They used what they had.
