I had just graduated from basic training (air force). I was at the mall and this old man at a labtop stand suckered me into buying a labtop. It was 67$ every pay period, and I did an allotment on it. I thought I was getting a good deal. I had seen the computer before for less than 1000$
So I did all the paperwork and then when I got back to my squadron I looked at the receipt and it had read at the bottom 2999$ with 18.99 annual interest.By the time I pay for this labtop I would have spent 5300$ on it. I tried contacting the man from the number on the receipt and it was a dead number and that's when I realized I had been seriously ripped off. I was very naive jjust coming out of basic training with a good amount of money.
The sad thing is that I am fighting for this country and people do this. I was in uniform also. The part that sickens me is that I don't even have this labtop anymore. I sold it to a friend for 500$ because I wasnot only disgusted but it would play any of the games the man told me it would play. I feel terrible about this and I'm the laughing stock in my squadron because of all of this. Please help
