Another horror story could be related to customer service. Some customers may have had issues with getting help when they faced problems like a lost card or unauthorized transactions. They might have been put on hold for long periods of time, or transferred from one representative to another without getting a proper resolution. I've heard of cases where customers were trying to report a stolen card and it took days for the bank to take any action.
There are also stories about issues with direct deposits. For example, a person's paycheck was supposed to be directly deposited into their Green Dot Bank account. However, it got lost in the system, and the bank was slow to investigate. The customer had to deal with their employer and the bank for weeks to sort out the mess, all while being short on funds to pay their regular bills.
Some people have reported that their Echo Dot would pick up conversations that were not meant for it and then respond in an unexpected and often unnerving way. For instance, during a private family discussion about a relative who had passed away, the Echo Dot suddenly said 'They are here with us now'. This made the family members feel very uncomfortable, as if the device was somehow aware of things it shouldn't be.
One horror story could be about a Stella and Dot piece of jewelry that seemed to have a strange curse. A woman bought a necklace and after wearing it, she started having really bad luck. She lost her job and her relationships became strained. Another could be where a Stella and Dot seller had a really spooky encounter during a home party. She thought she saw a figure in the corner of the room while showing off the products, but when she looked again it was gone, and then strange noises started coming from the basement.
I'm not entirely sure specifically what a 'green dot novel' is. It could be a novel with a green dot on its cover for some special significance, or it might be a novel related to environmental themes symbolized by the 'green dot'.
