I called a fraudulent customer service number for Apple, which led me to purchase a Google Play card for $50. They took my credit card number promising an instant refund but then said the card didn't work, claiming my phone needs a security key to stop hacking. They then asked me to buy a $100 gift card, which I refused. Can anything be done regarding a refund or any other action?

I worked in corporate management for 10 years and discovered that my company was not practicing lawful payroll practices, withholding my salary past payday. After addressing this issue, I found out that I and my team were paid, but the rest of the company was not. I planned to resign due to the lack of ethics, poor leadership, and underpayment. HR asked if I would provide the owner with the reasons for my resignation, which I agreed to. However, my boss intervened and the owner refused to meet with me. I followed HR's advice and submitted my resignation. The next day, I was locked out of all company systems. My boss has been spreading disparaging information about me, and I need to protect my reputation. How should I proceed?

Can a lawyer who employs a paralegal pay him a flat contingency fee for work as opposed to an hourly rate, especially in a scenario where the lawyer is offered a contingency fee on a long shot case that requires significant research and work with little prospect of success, and the lawyer does not want to take the financial risk unless the paralegal is also willing to take the risk?
