Can you please explain why police can’t do anything for the death threat and stalking threat I received?

April 2nd, 2011 5 comments

First I was scammed online. I was tricked to send money by western union to someone in Florida. Later when I realized i was scammed and demanded my money back from that person, I was sent death threat and stalking threat through cell phone text messages. I went to the local police station near my home to report of this online scam and death threat text messages. As evidence those threatening text messages are still there. So I provided the cell phone number of the offenders. I also provided the name of person who was sent money through western union. Police said, "there is no way possible to find the identity of these people". First they said it maybe Nigeria scam. I insisted that the person is in Florida, not Nigeria because that’s what western union record shows. Later police told me, "their cell phone numbers are untraceable and the western union name i sent money too is extremely common". I feel police wasn’t interested in the case. Why cannot the identity of person be found if his cell phone number is known? Especially if he lives in Florida. I don’t believe this. Police then said that the death threat appears fake and nothing would happen. But I am not convinced. Please suggest me what to do.
just curious: was my complaint not taken seriously because I am not white? i know this maybe a far stretch, but just want to know.
its not nigeria. the scammer is in florida
i lost $300
the evidence are the text messages which i have stored. western union is evidence too. everything is based on the text messages I received.

Sorry, but the information you have is one of the scammer’s fake names, one of his free email addresses and one of his paid-for-in-cash cell phone numbers, none of that information is going to help your local law enforcement agency find anyone.

Your scammer could be anywhere in the entire world, the address in Florida was probably copied from the phone book.

Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off the cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country the money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.

While the death threats are annoying and scary, there is nothing that scammer can do, he is located half way around the world from you.

What you can do is slow that scammer down. Making a scammer’s scam googlable on every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find is a great way to slow that scammer down when a suspicious potential victim goes looking for information, finds your post containing the scammer’s name, email address, phone number and the emails themselves and then that potential victim does not become a victim because you took the time to "get the word out".

Wasting a scammer’s time legally and safely is called "scambaiting". If you google that word, you will find sites where you can read scambaits, post up the emails and email addresses of scammers, ask questions and learn all about that hobby.

Probating A Will In A Small Texas town?

March 27th, 2011 2 comments

My dad died this year living his ninety year old wife as executrix of his will, I was next if my stepmother was not able to serve. which she was not. she is well know in this because she was very active, everyone knows her mind is going. I have P.O.A, there was a hearig to declare her incompetent, the day of the hearing the lawyer that made the will presented to the judge he wanted the banker be repersenative for my stepm, without my knowledge or my lawyer’s. my lawyer told the judge he had made several attempts by ph, and mail without return, and the judge said you have not talked. I’ll give you a minute to talk. I went ahead an agree to this. I feel violated and disrepected. I wint to the bank and tried to get bank I was told my P.O.A. was not good death. I have an expiration on p.o.a 2030. I tried to get a statement of liens or judgement against. the person look in computer and the judge had the records. and it was not on the comp. Can they do this? the money dad gave me bef H D

1. I have no idea what a POA is.
2. Lots of small towns are crooked.
3. Suspicious that a "banker" (he who holds the accounts, huh?) is appointed to manage the s-mother’s affairs instead of a neutral third party.
4. Giving you ONLY one minute is expressed prejudice and grounds for an appeal
5. Records cannot be removed from a computer and given to a judge. The judge would recieve certified COPIES of the records.
6. Unless you are a moron and have irritated everyone in the town with loud whining and clumsy actions, you have grounds to blow this open.

You need another attorney and then let him/her handle this.

Just remember this. If the estate is small, the lawyers–even the good ones if you should find one (lots of luck) will eat the money up and no one will have anything.

What steps are required to obtain a court order establishing marital status at the time of my husbands death?

March 15th, 2011 4 comments

My mother-in-law misinformed the funeral home by stating on my husband’s death certificate that we was divorced. We are not on the best of terms and she refuses to go to the funeral home and sign a request to amend the death certificate. She is doing this out of spite because my husband and I were separated (he was a violent and abusive alcoholic). and he was living with her at the time of his death. I am sorry, but my son’s safety was my #1 priority. It was not a healthy environment for either my son or myself.

I was just contacted by the Motion Picture Industry Pension and Insurance Dept. that they are holding money that I am entitled to claim as his surviving spouse. Unfortunately, I need to get the death certificate amended to reflect that we were married at the time of his death. The Office of Vital Records suggested that I contact the court and request a certified copy of a court order establishing our marital status at the time of my husband’s death. It also said that I may want to contact an attorney. Unfortunately, I am a disabled widow on SSI and can’t afford to pay an attorney for advice. I’m sure that once I know where to go and what to do that I can fill out and file the necessary documents.

Please help me with as much information as possible to enable me to complete this task without the need for a lawyer. I live in Porterville, California and need to know which court to contact to accomplish this task.

Thanking you in advance for your most valuable time and assistance.

Santa Barbara Motorcycle Accident Lawyer’s Top Ten Worst Things That Can Lead to a Motorcycle Accident

March 15th, 2011 No comments

1. Not being especially nice to your lawyer.

 

2. Not spending enough time with the dog, the kids, your spouse or your mother.

 

3. Having bad thoughts about the car tailgating you.

 

4. Having a drunk driving next to you.

 

5. Not knowing one of your tires is bad.

 

6. Knowing one of your tires is bad and not having the money to replace it.

 

7. Not seeing that piece of furniture on the road ahead.

 

8. Not seeing the pothole that’s as big as Texas.

 

9. Not having noticed a road sign that says the road is ending 100 yards ahead.

 

10. Not remembering where you are or where you’re going and having a panic attack.

 

Here are ten useful tips of advice from a motorcycle accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a motorcycle accident in Santa Barbara, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com  and learning how we can assist you.

 

Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it may have been a few hours since the accident. However, if you ever have another accident, or if it’s only been a few hours since you were hurt, here’s what you should do from the start.

 

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.

 

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.

 

Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.

 

Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.

 

Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.

Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.

 

Seventh, call a good motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most motorcycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.

 

Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.

 

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.

 

Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

In illinois, is probate court a must, after death?

March 14th, 2011 5 comments

My mom left us a will. She made me an Excutor. Her house is worth less then 500K, maybe around 400K. Me and my brother are in agreement. Her will was to split it 50/50. Do we have to go to probate court and how long do we have before we go to court? We would rather not use the court services unless we must. There is no other value nor money. I took original will to downtown to 12th floor, record it. They made me open self addressed evelope that mom originaly mail to her-self. is there a book that takes you step by step or on internet. I hate to go to courts, unless it is a must

Yes you have too go to probate. You might be able to do it yourself. Check with legal aide for free advice.

You really need to give a little more info, such as what tribe of Indians are you descended from, what state or area, etc. Then perhaps we can direct you to the right place.

Where can you look up public records online for free (marriage, death, etc.)?

June 3rd, 2010 3 comments

I went to a free site a couple of years ago and can’t seem to find it again. I don’t know if they all went to a pay system or what. I am trying to find some info on a deadbeat dad. Please help.

There used to be a lot of Ancestral research sites that offered items like that for free. Now they all figured out that they can make money charging people for it. Your best bet these days is to search locally. Go to your Recorder’s office, Health Department, and Court. Usually these places won’t charge you any fee for the search, just for copies of the documents. The problem with the search companies online that promise all sorts of information is that they are not very cheap, and all they are doing is checking those same places that you could check yourself. If they don’t find anything, you still have to pay.

I was wondering if I had a case or lawsuit against nyc or something?

I was wondering if I had a case or lawsuit against the Bronx District or new york city for the death of my father. Approximately two years ago, someone attacked my father and the trauma to his head resulted in his death. This person was on parole and had killed three people prior to my father and I was shock to know that someone with such a record was out in society. He should have not been out of jail. Do you think I have a case against Bronx County for having this guy out on parole?against the Bronx District County or newyork city for the death of my father.

You should consider bringing legal action against either the state (it’s not the city that is at fault, it’s the state) or the parole board, in order to bring attention to the case. This definitely shouldn’t have happened, considering the inmate’s history. Your family may be entitled to money to compensate you for lost income and hospital bills. Yours is one of the few cases where a lawsuit is definitely justified. Go speak with a reputable lawyer to find out which options you have. If you can, try to avoid settling in exchange for keeping quiet — you want to get your story told, to let the public know what happened in order to pressure the system into changing.

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope that you’ll be able to take action against the parole board and/or state, and hopefully help to prevent something like this from happening to another family.

Why does there have to be a public record in the papers of a death for a will to be contested?

May 20th, 2010 1 comment

My grandfather died back in January and only now is the solicitor has decided to make a public record of his death in the paper to which asks if anyone wants to contest the will, is this standard UK law or is it an optional requirement to which the solicitor gets more money?

Never heard of this one.
If the will is written soundly why or indeed how could anyone contest it?
I obtained probate on the estate of my mother-in-law (UK) without doing this.
The will is a public document anyway.
