3. Over $4,000 was charged to a man's card after he expected to pay less than $300 for an Avis car rental at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. The man has been fighting with the car rental service for five months after a one-day trip with a rental vehicle. When Avis allocated the fees to the man, they said that he kept the car 10 days longer than he originally agreed to. However, when the charges were disputed, it was discovered that the man had dropped the car off within 24 hours of rental. Fortunately, the man got his money back after months of fighting.

5. A man who was once featured on "90-Day Fiancé" is wanted by U.S. Marshal Services.
