I sent money via Western Union to Africa at the request of a friend. I'm now receiving calls from people claiming to be from the FBI, DOJ, and FTC, each with different explanations and suggesting an ongoing investigation in Africa. They asked for $985 - $2500 supposedly to stop the investigation and clear my name from criminal charges. I gave them my federal ID number. The phone numbers they use don't indicate government messages when leaving messages. They also provided a legal services department phone number. What should I do?

This situation sounds like a scam designed to defraud you of money. Government agencies do not deman...

I bought a Jeep from my granddaughter. The finance company refused the domestic wire transfer and has not returned the money or paid off her loan. They are threatening to repossess the Jeep. My granddaughter has the IMD number for the wire transfer that their bank accepted, but the finance company won't help. What can be done to resolve this issue?

My father is in a rehab center in Port Charlotte, FL, where he was being rehabilitated for hip surgery. Recently, he fell and sustained injuries, and the facility is now discussing hospice care. They are trying to get him to sign release papers for fault and have denied me access to visit him multiple times, citing security issues and my father's mental state. I have full power of attorney, but my sister recently obtained a new one, which the facility now recognizes. My father wants to return home and revoke his sister's power of attorney, but the facility claims he is not of sound mind. What legal steps can I take to ensure my father's wishes are respected and to address the potential abuse and discrimination at the facility?

I texted my manager for less hours as my dog is in pain and requires care, but she ignored my text and told my coworker that I am trying to “live off” unemployment money. I am a full-time student and have documents proving my dog's condition. Is what my manager said considered defamation/libel?
