| Posted: 19 May 2020 04:15 PM PDT A scammer walked into a T-Mobile with a fake ID of my brother-in-law, switched my sister's SIM to a phone he owned to perform what is called a "Sim Swap Scam". He then stole everything from her online cryptocurrency accounts, and probably has info and access to every part of her life. T-Mobile ideally should be held accountable for allowing this to happen, but I'm not sure if it holds up because I haven't seen any cases that have won in this exact scenario. What can she do?

| Posted: 19 May 2020 02:37 AM PDT I sell hair accessories and face masks. Apparently one of my designs is similar to someone else's. Got a message today saying that someone is reporting my business for stealing artistic integrity and that they hope I have all my business licenses to protect me. I barely make $10 a day (if that) so do I need a license? What would happen if this person reported me? I literally had no idea one of my hair accessories was similar to someone's. I am from California. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 08:02 AM PDT Is this legal? Our realtor notified us of this and stated we'd have to re-schedule our inspection because of the temporary tenant that's living in the home. It was vacant when we looked at the home and signed the contract. I can't seem to find anything in the purchase contract regarding this. It seems wrong but I'm not sure. This is my first home purchase. [link] [comments] |
| Promised and signed sublet for an entire house but now others are moving in Posted: 19 May 2020 05:46 PM PDT My girlfriend and I were looking for a short term place for ourselves for the summer. We found a kijiji ad advertising one room in a fully empty 4 bedroom house. The landlord (a student that has the place on a multi year contract with his friends) gave us a very basic sublet contract saying that the premises at address (no mention about specific rooms or sharing the house) are being subleted to my name and I cover the utilities. I also confirmed on the phone and via text that we would be the only people in the house. Now a few weeks after moving in a random person walks into the house (with a key) and takes a look at one of the rooms upstairs (I was really confused while it was happening and didn't have time to respond properly). After he leaves I get a call from the landlord saying that he will be moving in upstairs. What legal protections do I have against this? Note that my landlord (the one I am subletting from) is not the owner of the house but I am currently getting in touch with the actual owner. However, my contract also has the name of the owner on it. Location: Ontario, Canada [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 11:10 AM PDT Location Minnesota, USA Sorry if I have broken any rules - a friend referred me to this sub! Myself and two friends rented a house with a 1-year lease beginning January 1st though we did not actually move in until January 15th. There is a garage attached to the house, but there is another 2 car garage at the back of the property that the landlord said was not included as part of our lease. He said that he uses it for storage to avoid the cost of paying a storage unit, and he might stop by occasionally to access it. We had no issue with that. We pay all utilities for the property including water and electric. In early March we thought we saw someone in the back yard a couple of times late at night and it made us uncomfortable but we figured it was someone sneaking through the yard as a shortcut. When we caught sight of them going into that far back garage we called police thinking it was an intruder. Police showed up and the guy said he was the owner's son. Landlord got called over and sure enough he said he gave his son permission to live in the garage. He said he built it as a "man cave" several years ago so it has a bathroom and kitchenette area. The police advised him to make sure it can legally be lived in but other than that said it's a civil issue and left it at that. The son has been living "here/there" ever since and we are frustrated because it is weird and uncomfortable, and also because there has been a substantial spike in electricity and water usage. Our electricity has gone up by about half, and our water and sewer bill has quadrupled. He uses extremely excessive amounts of water. I don't know what his deal is but he washes his car daily for an hour + and leaves the hose running (no nozzle, just running freely into the ditch) the entire time. When we see it running and him not using it we go out and ask him to turn it off but he says "I'm using it" (when he is clearly not). We wait til he leaves and turn it off, and then inevitably find later that it's turned on again and he's nowhere to be seen. I know this part probably doesn't have any legal foundation but: guy is a total weirdo. He also keeps flipping the breaker, and for some reason the panel for the far back garage is located in the garage attached to the house. There is no man door to that garage (only car sized doors) so to get into it you have to go through the house, so on several occasions now he has walked through unannounced to flip the breaker back. Twice it has happened in the middle of the night when we are sleeping, and at night we use deadbolts on the doors, leading to him banging on the door at 3AM to get in and fix it. The landlord then texted us saying to stop using the deadbolt as it prevents emergency access to the circuit panel. We said we understand we are supposed to get 24 hour notice for entry and he said that doesn't apply in an emergency, and an electrical issue requiring access to the panel constitutes an emergency. Overall the landlord will not help us and snidely says we are adults, so if we have a problem with "our neighbor" we should talk to him. My two roommates confronted the son to talk about the utility bills and wanting to come into the house in the middle of the night and he asked "doesn't your lease say you pay utilities?" and when they confirmed that it does (with the obvious BUT that we of course thought we were paying for OUR utilities, not his) he said "then pay them" and slammed the door. We don't know how we got into this stupid mess but we are having a hard time seeing a way out of it, and in the mean time it has gotten very expensive. The landlord won't play ball at all. He just repeats that he warned us before we signed that the garage was not part of our domain (but of course we were being told it was going to be storage, not living quarters) and says if we are concerned about the cost of utilities we should ask the son to "chip in a few bucks." He flat out refuses to do anything about these circumstances and will not support us leaving the lease early. Do we have any recourse? I've been trying to research and feeling stuck because I can't find anything pertaining to this kind of scenario. [link] [comments] |
| Ex-bf left a gun in my car and I don’t know what to do with it. Posted: 19 May 2020 06:46 AM PDT (Written by a friend - posting on her behalf. If you have any other questions you need answered please be patient while I communicate with her!) Located in Florida. My boyfriend and I broke up. I had stuff at his place and a key so I let him know I was going to get my things and left the keys behind once I was done packing up. He sent me photos of myself on the ring camera and said the police would be in contact shortly. I was confused because I let him know that I was going over there to get my things earlier. I just got to my parents place out of town and was unpacking my things from my car when I found a box under the back seat. There is a gun in the box (case?). I have not ever used a gun and do not feel comfortable handling one. While my ex and I were still together he purchased seven or eight guns at once one day with his friends and we went back to his place after. I'm freaking out that he left this here and now I'm out of town and he can't just come get it. I don't know if the reason he contacted the police is because I entered the house to get my things or because he just realized he left this in my car? Can I have the local police department in my parents town take it and then go through whatever pathways it needs to to get it back to him? I do not have any sort of license for a gun so I don't want to get in trouble for having it when I try to turn it in. Would I be better off driving a few hours back home and just having him take it? Thanks in advance for all of your help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 09:23 AM PDT They are not offering me my previous full 40 hour work week, and I could very well be working only 1-4 hours daily (some days 0 hours). This puts me in huge financial distress because I will not be making enough to even pay my rent in California, and I won't qualify for partial unemployment if I make more than $450 in a week. I asked my boss for a number on how much I'd make and he said anywhere from 1.5-2.5k gross monthly, which could be a salary cut of over 60%. Any help or resources would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!! [link] [comments] |
| NYS Medicaid mail: “UNBORN” in letter window Posted: 19 May 2020 11:22 AM PDT Hey all, Last year I got an abortion in July 2019 through Planned Parenthood in NYC. Due to a lack of health insurance, PP set me up with Medicaid through NYS Dept. of Social Services to cover the cost of the abortion. Since then, I've received tons of mail from them but one from September 2019 stuck out amongst the rest. In the letter window was my last name and address, but not my first name. Instead of my first name, the word "UNBORN" was there. I immediately went up to my apartment and contacted the NYS Dept. of Social Services and NYS Dept. of Health. Each call led me to another contact number of one of their offices. I explained my case to them and issue with receiving this documentation in the mail where anyone could have accidentally received it and the potential of this unethical "typo" having been distributed to other women in the State. They listened and told me I'd be contacted by someone in 14 business days. That was over 6 months ago. Since then, I've received more documents that have "UNBORN" listed within the document as if they were a dependent on my health insurance. Receiving this in the mail has resurged all these feelings of heartbreak, guilt, regret, sadness, and anger that I have been dealing with every day for the past year. My goal is to contact Planned Parenthood, AOC, and many other institutions out there that could help stop this type of mail from going to any woman ever again. So I'm asking, what are my options here in pursuing any sort of legal action? [link] [comments] |
| Indiana - my landlord is calling me almost daily about non-existent issues and is driving me nuts Posted: 19 May 2020 03:15 PM PDT My landlord is calling me almost daily telling me something is leaking or running from my apartment. There is nothing coming from my end (faucets are off tight and I use two shower curtains so there's no dripping). He just called me a few minutes ago to tell me my toilet is running when it isn't. I'm becoming very irritated because it's starting to become harassing. [link] [comments] |

| [MT] My roommate kicked me out because I reported her for harboring a fugitive. Posted: 19 May 2020 08:10 PM PDT Basically, she somehow found out I called the police when she brought her boyfriend (with a big felony warrant) to the house & yelled at me when I confronted her. I called because I'm not trying to get a criminal record and the police had already warned us. She is now going to extreme lengths to hide this man in the house, parking blocks away, locking the heavy deadbolts, sent her kids to a babysitter during her days with them, etc. I had lived there for 14 days and have record of me paying rent. Is it legal for her to lock deadbolts that make it so I cannot get in the house? She isn't trying to lock me out, idk for some reason she thinks the deadbolts will keep the cops out. Anyway, I just want to get my stuff. What can I do (legally) to get in that house? Oh, by the way, the police didn't take him in after I called. I'm guessing they couldn't get a search warrant for the house. Do I need to just keep calling them even though I reported that he was there? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 04:40 PM PDT My wife just opened a salon in the same building a salon was previously in. The former business owner packed up and disappeared to another state. My wife hadn't even opened her doors for business and she receives a bill for business taxes for 2018 and 2019. She calls and the person on the phone said she bought the business from the previous owner, which is not true. When my wife corrected her, she said "well you're either going to have to pay or find the previous business owner and have them pay." My wife demanded to talk to her supervisor to which she was told "i can give you their voicemail, but they are gone until next month and if you don't pay by next week you will owe late fees and it will go into collections" ...is this shit for real? Can they city do this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 07:49 PM PDT Hi, In Wisconsin I bought a spec home and closed in March. The home was sold to me as being on "Still Creek". My mortgage has this street name. My title has this street name. All my banking information now has this street name. My tax information has this street name. Literally everything in my life that is associated with an address is associated with this street name. I had the building inspector out today. We initially had just temporary occupancy until a tree was planted per municipality code. The tree was planted an he gave me the full occupancy permit. He tell's me though, "by the way, your house is actually on Willow Run. I told the builder on 10/14/19 when I issued them the temporary occupancy permit that they needed to change it". My occupancy permit is for "Willow Run". So, the street my house is on is really "Willow Run", not "Still Creek". Is this a big issue? Knowing that everything in my life is now associated with "Still Creek", what should I get fixed immediately, and what do I not need to worry about? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 02:53 PM PDT A few months ago I went into a CityMD clinic because I knew I had a UTI and wanted a prescription for antibiotics. They took a urine sample to test for the UTI and I paid at the pharmacy for the antibiotics. Now I received a bill in the mail for 250 dollars stating that I'm being charged for a pregnancy test. I asked for my patient records from CityMD, and although it's hard to know what their shorthand stands for, it doesn't look like a pregnancy test is listed there either. I am absolutely certain that I didn't ask for one and wouldn't have okayed one, though. Should I continue to dispute the bill or is it legal? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 12:50 PM PDT More information that I think is relevant. She will be 18 next month. She is an alien under a visa that expire in a week. The airlines completely ceased operations for the time being, so we cant contact them for now. We just find out about the company cease of operations. We talked with a lawyer and he say the only way is that we ask for an extension that should be made with 30 days at least before the day her visa expire because is a long process. I know that would be the normal process but with the situation we are going through with the COVID-19 and this being the reason we had to change her flight 2 times, something tell me there should be another way. The lawyer say the process will cost around $500 including his fee. Something that we cant afford now. [link] [comments] |
| Landlord not fired after sexual harrasment, is now retaliating. Posted: 19 May 2020 05:45 PM PDT Hi all. After myself and 10+ other female tenents were asked by our apartment complex's manager to go to his house, get drinks (many of us underage), and go out on dates, a total of six of us filed a complaint with management. During this time, it was also discovered that he sent links to pornography to his secretary (whom most people in the complex adore). A lady from HR called me after. She said that him accessing our phone numbers to text us, etc. was just him being friendly, but she'd talked to him and it wouldn't happen again. It's still happening. He's not being overly sexual, but it's happening. He's been tracking when I take my dog outside, get the mail, etc. He has taken pictures of me without my consent before and may still be doing so (I only found out because he posted some on the complex's Facebook page, it was of me playing with my dog on the balcony). This man has keys to our homes. What really worries me, though, is that he's started retaliating against the secretary who helped us all report him. He's switching her hours to make her appear late to work. He's booking her appointments during her lunch break and not telling her. He's rearranging her appointments so people are showing up when the office is closed. Etc. I don't feel safe in my own home anymore. He honestly seems like a psychopath (32 and no family or partners, doesn't own salt and pepper because it's too spicy, etc) and I'm scared he could snap or retaliate against me or the other girls if we go about this wrong. What do we do? Obviously management isn't going to take action. The secretary has mentioned hiring a lawyer to create a cease and desist letter. What else should we ask about? How do we escalate this properly? [link] [comments] |
| Ex's Boyfriend threatened me on my front porch Posted: 19 May 2020 08:48 PM PDT Ok , stick with me, it's a long one and probably a little crazy to some people. MA and CT My ex wife and I share custody of our dog. I get that a lot of people think that that's ridiculous, but he's my best friend and I gave in during the divorce because I felt bad about him not seeing her and about how sad she was ( I get that I should have fought harder). I now live in Mass in and she's in CT. COVID has been rough to say the least. My roommate was potentially exposed and so it lengthened my Pup's last stay a couple more weeks until result came back. But after that point , I still felt, and still feel, uncomfortable traversing state lines , 1.5hr drive, during a pandemic, to switch a dog because she is insisting on it. Our divorce decree just says "Joint Custody" nothing about how long for each or how often. Due to Covid I told her if she was insistent on switching him immediately then she would have to bear the risk and travel. She did it twice. Once to pick him up and once to drop him. Before dropping him this Sunday , she messaged to say she would no longer be willing to travel, and wanted me to, even though state information says cross state travel should be followed by a 14 day self quarantine. Eventually we agreed that she would come into Mass and I would travel to close to the state line, not ideal and I still feel unsafe, but I'm also trying to work with her. Before Covid we worked pretty painlessly at swapping and working stuff out. This Sunday when she dropped him off, her boyfriend got out of the car. I told him he could just let him off the leash and he'd run to me ( maintain social distancing). The boyfriend then walked up to my porch and I had to verbally stop him and tell him he needed to maintain social distancing. He put his foot on my porch and grabbed my dog close to the collar and said "This is about Six feet, we need to have a chat". He then proceeded to threaten me and tell me there were going to be "problems" if I messaged my ex late at night ( I messaged her at 1130 after she messaged me at 945). He also said " You're GOING to meet wherever she says you will and you're not going to make a problem about it". A younger version of me wanted to physically handle the situation. But a cooler head prevailed and I told him to leave my residence and my dog before I called the cops. Since then I have told my ex if she or he tries to do something like that again, I WILL call the cops and I have tried to get my ex to agree to a code of conduct for her boyfriend. ( Him not be present or not leave the vehicle if he is present). She has refused to answer one-way or another about his interaction with me and has only responded with , "we don't need lawyers" and honestly this makes me scared to meet and swap the pup. I told her I feel like we need to communicate through lawyers if she will not cooperate and she is of the understanding that she's done all the cooperation she needs to. I really would rather avoid lawyers, but I'm thinking I have to involve one. We did cooperative divorce so we didn't retain any individual lawyers during the actual divorce period. I looked up Mass state law and blogs and such. It qualifies as harassment but there needs to be 3 instances in order to file a protection order and I REALLY don't want to deal with 2 more of these. I brought up doing the exchange at a police station. But even that still worries me, coupled with travelling during COVID. Idk, do I have any immediate recourse? Is there any grounds for updating the divorce decree? The divorce took place in CT so pets are treated as property there and I know it's hard to get decree updates for property after the divorce is finalized. Any ideas? Thanks and sorry for word vomit.

| Someone help- off campus housing college student. Posted: 19 May 2020 05:24 PM PDT So I went to go look at an apartment today. The apartment was nice, not super clean but it was up to my standards. So I applied for the apartment online. The landlord texted me and told me I was all good to go with the apartment. He needed me to sign the lease, pay a $500 security deposit and first months rent. So shortly after that text, I got an email with the lease attached. I read over the lease and looked at the payments needed. It told me the apartment was 6k for the entire year. I knew this was a good deal so I went ahead and signed the lease. I was then informed that I needed a parent co-signer to sign the lease. After signing the lease, I went ahead and gave the landlord the security deposit. So I asked a parent to sign the lease for me, however, the landlord revised the lease and changed the total payment to 8k. The landlord had sent a brand new lease attached with PLENTY of payments. The landlord expected me to pay $500 June first, along with a $3,400 payment on June 1st. Then a 500$ payment for the month of July, a $233 payment for the month of August and another $3,400 payment November 1st. When I saw this I immediately called the landlord and was extremely pissed off about the situation. My parents refused to co-sign for the 8k lease. So I told the landlord I was backing out of the lease. The lease was not even complete since I hadn't got a parent to co-sign on it. However, my signature was on it. The landlord had a shitty attitude and told me it didn't matter because he was probably renting it to a couple tomorrow. I asked for my $500 back and he said it's non refundable. My question is, how the hell is this even legal considering my lease wasn't even completely filled out with all the signatures needed. I tried to call my bank to cancel the charge but I keep getting redirected to a CPU or robot. I can't actually get ahold of a person to solve my problem. What can I do at this point? I want my money back... [link] [comments] |
| I got approached by a strange woman at an airport. Possible human trafficker? Posted: 19 May 2020 10:47 PM PDT A couple months ago I was at an airport, waiting for my flight to a certain major Chinese city. An important side note is that this city is a popular destination for connecting flights to Vietnam. As I was waiting, I noticed a middle-aged Vietnamese woman looking at me. I caught her staring at me several times, and each time I looked back at her she would quickly look away. I had a couple of hours before my flight, so I took a nap. When I woke up, I found a note on my chest that she most likely left there. The note read: Hi Judy. My name is Cát [redacted]. My email address is [Vietnamese male name]@gmail.com. Please write to me and then I will write to you. Picture of the note: https://imgur.com/a/lKfTGtI My family swears that this is a human trafficking lure. I am a minor, and east Asian, so it makes sense that I would be targeted. I was suspicious about the fact that she gave me an email address associated with a male name. If what my family says is true, should I do anything about it? Is there any organization that I should report this to? [link] [comments] |
| Husbands company denying yearly vacation time due to taking 6 weeks FMLA for the birth of our son. Posted: 19 May 2020 05:08 PM PDT My husband is a salaried employee who works 40 hours a week. We had a son last August and he took 6 weeks of FMLA/Paternity. He was required to use the remainder of his yearly PTO for some of the time off (he gets it in a lump sum at the beginning of each year). He ended up with about 22 unpaid days out of the six weeks. He normally gets 15 days of PTO per calendar year but this year they told him he only gets 13 because he "took so much time off". Is this legal? I was under the assumption that FMLA protected you from this kind of thing. Is there any loopholes that we don't know about? We are in Michigan USA Edit: my question is that is it legal for them to reduce the amount of PTO he gets from FMLA used in a prior year? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 04:50 AM PDT We are in Michigan. We've been trying to sell a building that's been family owned for about fifty years. We've had some interest, but we've had nothing solid for months. We finally had someone (outside the family) who wanted to purchase. We had a written agreement with one person (A) to close by May 10. When May 10 came around, nothing happened and we did not even hear from this person. Person A contacted us on 12 May, saying he'd like to bring by another person (Person B) before moving forward. Person B wants to move forward but wants to sign a new agreement with us, who we had never met before. While this was going on, after the deadline passed with Person A, we received interest from Person C, who happens to be a relative. We would like to sell to Person C as we'd like to keep it in the family and the deadline with Person A has passed. We have offered them their deposit back. They are now sending us threatening messages that they will take us to court over this if we do not sell to Person B. As it stands right now, we have no written agreement other than the one with Person A, which expired almost ten days ago. Can we sell to whoever we want? [link] [comments] |
| Aggressive dog next door attacking us. Posted: 19 May 2020 12:25 PM PDT I am looking for a bit of advice on what to do regarding to the next door neighbors' dog. For some background info I live in CA and currently am renting a home with a fence that separates my rental property from the neighbors' yard. The fence while I'm not sure who has paid for it looks as though it was built by the neighbor and is their fence. They own a dog that they never take inside and it lives in the yard. Our neighbors have a very large and aggressive dog that freaks out and slams into the fence over and over any time I go out into the yard to try and get to me. Back in November the dog actually broke through the fence and went after me but I managed to get away and back inside. We called animal services who said they would take a report and if they had the time would send someone over to talk to them. The neighbors somewhat adjusted what they're doing but not very much. They sometimes tie him up with some kind of coated wire leash that they have attached to a old wooden porch to keep him away from the fence but unfortunately he can still reach part of the fence, when he is tugging on the leash the wooden railing he's tied up to cracks loudly and it seems it's only a matter of time before that breaks, and he also has broken the leash and got free and attacked the fence. I would say even so only half the time is he even tied up and the other times he has access to the fence. Yesterday the dog broke through the fence again and went after me and my husband. We put in a second report to animal services who told me that there are other reports other than ours and they would submit the report to an officer. One of the people living there has admitted when I questioned what they were planning to do because this isn't acceptable that the dog has broken into the yard of the neighbor on their other side as well. They seem completely unwilling to do anything and just screw in new boards after the dog breaks the fence which you can see it's shoddily repaired on our side and the other neighbor's side. They claimed they got the dog for security because they've been broken into. Per our area it is listed: " A "potentially dangerous" animal means an animal that demonstrates any of the following behavior: (1)An animal that, on two separate occasions within a thirty-six-month period, engages in any unprovoked behavior that requires a defensive action by a person to prevent bodily injury when the person and the animal are off the property of the animal's owner." I did ask about this being the second offense we've had to protect ourselves and the person taking the report said they have never seen a dog get deemed potentially dangerous without actually biting someone which I questioned that I need to get hurt before they would do anything and they back tracked and they don't suggest that and isn't what they mean. She then claimed it's up to the officer to decide if they even go out to check in on the situation and can't promise anyone will even with this second report. My question here is there anything I can do? This dog tries to break through and attack us every time we are in the yard. We've been very careful and have been avoiding the yard in general up until recently as it's been getting warmer and with the virus we've been trying to eat lunch in our yard to get some sun and not be stuck inside all day. I cannot do anything to the fence as we do not own the property. Animal services seems to not want to do anything but the dog is dangerous and it's only a matter of time before it breaks out and gets a hold of a small child or elderly person etc or even me because they will not properly secure their dog. I appreciate any advice! [link] [comments] |
