I bought a friend an Amazon gift card for $100 using my debit card, but she was charged an additional $35 fee when using it to pay her phone bill, resulting in only $65 being credited to her account. Is this legal?

I sent a relative $3700 for a new furnace three years ago. I'm not sure if the money was used for that. I received $100 and $500 cashiers checks two months later in the same envelope. I have tried to get payments since with no luck. At one point they changed their number and I found the new one through a relative. I'm in contact with the debtor at this point and they claim they sent $2000 a month ago but I didn't receive it and they never called to check that I received it or let me know they were sending it. I have no written agreement to prove I loaned the money. I do have a record of the cashier's check for $3700 and the payments of $100/$500 plus a conversation with her husband stating it was not his problem. Do I have a strong case for payment in small claims court?

My friend's dad signed up for life insurance and disclosed that he had diabetes. Later, his health deteriorated and he passed away. The life insurance company refuses to pay, claiming undisclosed health issues. Do they have a case, and is it the insurance company's responsibility to require a medical examination if they have concerns about the insured's health?

I believe I have been scammed by someone claiming to be an employee of Publisher's Clearing House named Todd Sloan with badge #2585. I have sent money to cover IRS fees to a Sandra Haddon in Corvallis, OR. Can you help me determine if this is a scam and what actions I can take?
