I have just been hired as a Mystery Shopper (via email) and question the procedure. They are FedExing a money order totaling $1798.80tomorrow morning. I am to cash it at a local bank, proceed to check out a Walmart and Western Union in my area. I'm to deduct $200.00 as payment for the assignment and another $30.00 to make purchases at Walmart. Then I'm to wire the remaining money to a specified 'Agent' and a report to the Mystery Shopper contact with answers to questions specified. I'm concerned about the amount and the instruction to forward the remaing money through the Western Union facility I'm checking out. Does it all sound legal and/or am I opening myself to a scam?

I had a former employee steal a company secret (or device I specifically made and invented) and is now making the product and using it to make personal profit. I had no contract prohibiting this with the employee. How can I protect this from continuing? Is there a law that employees cannot steal secret company information and designs for personal gain?

I purchased a new furnace for increased efficiency. The seller has a guarantee that 'if the system does not heat or cool your home to your satisfaction, we will remove it and return 100% of your investment'. They charged $7,000. They removed my older but working furnace and air conditioner to install the new equipment. The new equipment does not perform as expected. They are willing to 'honor' their guarantee; however, to them that means returning the $7000 and removing their equipment. Basically they say that their guarantee does not say they will return or reinstall my original furnace and air conditioner. I contend it is part of my 'investment'. They need to return my original equipment, in lieu of that leave their equipment. What is the law in this regard? It wasn't exactly a trade-in; however, a working furnace and air conditioner were a value I gave up in the course of this transaction.
