If they want money up front so you can get an inheritance from someone you never heard if then it is almost certainly a scam.

I know of no example of a neighbor being on a lease. Contact your landlord, but I cannot imagine they have any duty or control over the situation.

Find out the name of the lawyers who had the sale conducted and ask them. "Assumed they were trying to scam you" - poor assumption, apparently.

You need to do an online search, like Google, to get this information. Volunteer attorneys do not have this information.

Block all further contact. NEVER send money. All the indications of a scam.

1) yes you have to go to school because it is state law and because "you don't know what you don't know (and still need to learn). 2)...

You are much better doing a Google search than asking a pool of 2000 volunteer attorneys. Good luck.

Not for profit corporations can be sued just like for-profit. Be sure you use a workers compensation attorney.

You can sue without a police report but the question is do you have "evidence" that's admissible under the evidence code to prove your suspicions.

If you file a police complaint, your life will change forever, for the worse, whether or not she is arrested. Sorry does not work after the police...
