    I agree Rachel about the fear of being convicted for a crime you didn't commit. One of my son's was convicted for a crime he was not committed and his wife lied to the courts and then confessed to me that she did afterward. Pray for my son and his family.

    This is possibly the most entertaining set of moments I've ever watched online. I might have cried a little laughing with Rachel imagining some guy named Al protecting us consumers! The relatability, humor and intelligence of George and Rachel is what makes this podcast The Best. Plus, they screw up now and then like the rest of us....

    My husband and I bought a stolen car last year. We paid 30k cash *at a bank* and when we went to the DMV they said the title was fake (It even had a watermark and we saw the man’s fake ID that had his picture on it) and the car had been stolen. They never caught the guys and we were just so thankful to be safe. We found the car on FB market place. Be safe out there guys!

    I’m Aussie, and growing up my father had Billabong knock-off clothing labelled, “Billyhong,” which we bought at the local markets. It was always (and still is) something we joke about as a family. But the clothes lasted well and he loved them lol. Last Christmas I bought him actual Billabong shirts. Let’s see if they last as long as the knock-offs 😂

I even got my solar panels from the ads - I so wish I didn't have that debt right now!

    If you get scammed, cash app doesn't care and won't do anything to help you get your money back. Plus watch out about numbers you call thinking you are calling certain companies to resolve an issue because it can be scammers acting like they work for that company and they can get your cash app info, banking info, or personal information.
