I’ve been receiving messages that I believe are scams, claiming I’ve won money from a Facebook lottery and asking for personal information. The sender claims to be a FedEx representative named Michael Beal, provides code numbers, and asks for address and email verification. They also sent a photo of a letter supposedly from the FBI stating the winnings are legitimate. Should I report this, and if so, to whom?

I am looking to purchase a miniature doxie from a breeder named Nick Patrick in Flagstaff, AZ. He wants us to send $400 before picking up the puppy on Friday. We are concerned because we couldn't find his business online and he doesn't have a breeder number. We offered to pay in cash when we pick up the puppy, but he insists on an upfront payment. Should we be concerned about this transaction?

A tax preparer is demanding payment for services not used. The preparer filed an extension for $0 and later claimed we owed $30k for 2021 taxes, which was incorrect. We got a second opinion and did not have her file. We offered $100 for her time and the extension, but she is now demanding $500 and threatening legal action. What should we do?
