I encountered a rental scam in London where the contact is uncooperative and continues to ask for money. His grammar is poor and he claims his lawyer is in Nigeria. Where can I report this suspected fraud, especially since I do not live in the UK and may be dealing with a 419 scam?

I am planning to fight a speeding violation (by camera) myself without legal representation. I waived paying the fine and requested a hearing, which was scheduled over 90 days after the alleged violation.

There is a high-profile construction site in front of my window that has been ongoing for over a year. The noise from cranes beeping all day, including Saturdays, and generators at night is making it impossible for me to work from home. I have complained to the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) but received no relief. What legal actions can I take to address this issue?
