Money horror stories III: the ghost of purchases past
Sometimes you make an investment and it just doesn’t pay off. Other times, it comes back to haunt you.
That’s the theme of this year’s Halloween episode, our third collection of your money horror stories. Previous episodes have covered lightning strikes and purchases made while sleepwalking, ruthless scammers and (gasp) ghosts of old relationships.
In this episode, we’ll meet a woman whose teen’s new debit card took him to dirty parts of the internet. Then, there’s the young woman whose Backstreet Boys obsession still haunts her to this day. Plus, a couple who got scammed, turning a business decision into a real-life horror movie marathon.
