I don't know, seems like what you do with gift cards after you buy them isn't really Amazon's concern, even if what you do is really stupid.

Took an Uber to a wedding this past weekend, and the car that showed up was a brand new Tesla Model S. The driver told us that he had financed it for the sole purpose of driving for Uber. He was a retired security guard or something, didn't sound like he was exactly rolling in money and was just doing it for fun.

Here's a fun one from r/legaladvice:

quote:

My friend works in the medical field and went in to his bosses office 5 months ago and asked for a raise. They told him they would and also give him extra incentives for certain procedures that he performs. He started making almost double what he was previously getting paid, but didn't think much of it because he was told he would be receiving a substantial raise. His lifestyle dramatically improved and he has been spending the money, bought a new car with payments, racked up some CC debt and so on. He basically has been spending all of it.

Fast forward 5 months and he gets called in today and they tell him that it was a mistake by their accountant and he was being overpaid for the last 5 months by about $25,000 and he needed to pay it back. They said they would be garnishing $2000 per month to repay the difference.

1. Can they do that?
2. Can he fight this in court?
3. What would his next steps be?

Bolded my favorite part. Got a huge raise? Start going into debt!
