    PayPal commmitting fraud to proct it's own ass

    Actually, I have personal experience here and can tell you that it's very difficult to be sure who is protected at eBay and the "Buyer Protection Policy" that they have can either work for you or against you. I have found it incomplete, illogically applied and, at least from my experience, an...

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Vape Theif

    Are vape / electronic cigarettes identical? My understanding is that they are mass produced. Unless you have some reasonably good proof that can potentially substantiate a theft, I'd have a hard time believing the police could or would help. Remember that no one can successfully prosecute a...

    Package I didn't order from Amazon

    Here is one more concern for you to consider - social media. Let's assume that Amazon told you that you could keep the package but the recipient - who now must wait for a reshipment - discovered the package was delivered to you after a discussion with the carrier. (Remember that most packages...

    Sprint wireless billing issue

    I have worked in the mobile industry for a long time and would find it difficult to believe that Sprint would intentionally inflict an unwarranted wrong such as implied. When you say you took three devices, do I understand these to be free or subsidized devices? Typically that is why these...

    Can I Opt Out of my HOA?

    How do the other members feel about what has happened? Do the bylaws speak to such an issue should most members find the result unsatisfactory?

    Piercing the Veil in Real Estate

    No need to get upset. Your question is too general to answer. Piercing the corporate veil deals with specific facts. Simply because there are employees doing work for several companies doesn't mean that these individual property limited liability companies are employing them, e.g. the parent...

    Cease and desist letter

    The point of a cease and desist letter is usually not just the words on paper but a law firm behind the words which will give the other party a reason to pause their wrongful activity and consider whether the sender will actually take legal or remedial action that would be of concern. Sometimes...

    Mistreated and singled out at work

    It's difficult to appreciate the full nature of what transpired. If there is a corporate handbook you should read it and become familiar with work procedures. If there is a need to document something that may have occurred, I have heard human resources suggesting to an employee that they email...

    I love it when a criminal's mugshot shows him wearing his "superfelon" shirt!

    I was expecting to see a superfelon notation. Some of these guys actually have t-shirts or tattoos which are ironically self-incriminating, e.g. "born to steal" or some other foolish "bad" phrase.

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Stolen phone

    One question comes to mind - why rely on a person to go through even more trouble to send a phone they found versus the person losing the phone making the effort to retrieve it from the voluntary holder who is willing to hold it for return at no cost?

    How to Handle Deadbeat Roommate

    This is a mess. My thinking is similar to @mightymoose - small claims court may have jurisdiction (over the payment of money) since one may be able to argue that this involves a contractual relationship in addition to a separate landlord-tenant relationship. It's difficult to predict an outcome...

    Do I need to get business licenses from all involved counties?

    We don't know what services you are providing and, accordingly, are not in a position to answer your specific question regarding licensing. I would guess that if you're providing business within the confines of another jurisdiction, you may be required to be licensed within that jurisdiction...

    Settlement for Permanent Total Disability

    You should look at your specific insurance policy first so that you're aware of and familiar with what it offers. Have you done so yet?

    How can I get my gamer account undisable ?

    What you should try to understand is that no company wants to spend its time and money trying to investigate problems. They keep it simple. Unless there is clear evidence that your account may have been hacked or something which indicates that the issue was beyond your control or knowledge, you...

    Scamming People Under My Name

    Sorry to hear about your social media problem. As a social media influencer, I'm guessing that we may not have all the variables which may be important here. First is you should be reporting the copyright infringement and any fraudulent activities to Facebook, Instagram, Google and any other...

    A Wire Transfer Mistake and the Following Events

    If you're talking about banking services such as payments and transfer of money, the first place you should be reviewing legal terms is your bank's service agreement. I have a good degree of confidence that you'll find that it is the transferror's responsibility to enter the legal name of the...

    Fraudulent Trademarks on a Large Scale

    Unfortunately there is no simple, expeditious, cost effective manner to obtain a decree on your specific legal issue and understanding of the law which will provide you with absolute clarity. You have a choice and it's similar with regard to patents and the allegations that overworked USPTO...

    You're in a much better position having your own contracts to use as a starting point and an excellent investment considering that this is a primary source of business. Best of luck.

    Assault & Battery Assaulted by College Teacher, Manhattan

    The answers are not always easy. Why are the other students angry at her, especially since she was clearly the victim of a violent episode which directly led to her receiving a concussion? Perhaps the teacher / professor in question may be influential in the art world and seen as an asset. Or...

    Can Spam Act

    That article answers your question in full. If you're trying to determine whether you're free and clear to harvest emails without legal liability then we can't answer the question. For example, this website's terms of use prohibit email harvesting. Should you do so, you would have civil...
