Blog about the dumbest purchase you have ever made!! Scrappy or not!
Well it wasn't scrappy. And it really wasn't my purchase. I did it for someone I thought was my friend. They wanted a cell phone and convinced me they needed it. Their credit was bad and so they couldn't qualify. So I put everything in my name. The contract was for a year with a $250 penalty. The first bill (which included the setup, phone and first month service) came and when I asked for the payment, you got it, they didn't have it. I paid it, to preserve my name and credit. I never received the payment from them and the next month got another bill. This so called friend had skipped town, so I bit the bullet and cancelled the service. My daughter worked for the cell company, so she was able to get the $250 penalty dropped. But it was still an expensive lesson.
