Nicholas Butler gets charged $7,853 at a bar in Istanbul under shady circumstances. Will his bank step up and help him undo the charges? While I was on vacation in Istanbul last year, I fell victim to a scam by some local thugs. They ran a "club" where they persuaded single male tourists to come in. Then they coerced them into paying thousands of dollars for bogus drinks ("champagne" that was cider and water, for example). They made it impossible to leave without the threat of violence. Once I...
Sears promises to cover the cost of Wanda Warren's dishwasher installation. Then it offers her a check for $180 -- which isn't enough. Does it owe her more? I have a Sears protection agreement on a replacement dishwasher. The terms clearly state that replacement items include delivery and basic installation. But now Sears is telling me that I have to get the installation done myself, and they will send a check for $180 to cover the cost of installation. I can't find someone to install my...

I just started a wonderful new job. The atmosphere is laid back, and the people alone make the place fantastic. The best of them all is my boss. She is 29, a month my elder, and very comely in appearance. At first, I was merely attracted to her, but as time went on, I fell hard. I couldn't put my finger on it, but she has such a sweet and gentle spirit. The problem is she's not only my boss. She's married. At weekly meetings, I didn't want them to end. I'd lose focus during the conversation....
Elizabeth Moeck has tickets to see David Foster in concert, but the show gets canceled during the pandemic. What happened to her refund? I bought tickets for the David Foster Hitman Tour in 2019. The performance date was May 14, 2020. On May 1, Ticketmaster emailed me that the concert had been rescheduled to Jan. 16, 2021. But in August, Ticketmaster sent an email that the concert would be canceled and my ticket refunded. I contacted Ticketmaster because I paid for the concert with a gift card,...
David Marsh's Allstate Rewards gift card doesn't work on his Princess cruise. Each side is blaming the other. Is there a way to make this right? We had $1,800 in prepaid gift cards on our Princess Cruise through Allstate Rewards.

Princess representative tried multiple times over most of the remainder of the 14-day cruise to identify and...

The manager of a very posh store in New York City has this weird habit of touching her employees' lunches. She has picked up sandwiches and taken bites out of them without permission. She even sticks her finger into their donuts or muffins while they are eating them. She laughs and thinks it is funny. I find it disgusting and rude. What is wrong with this woman? People have said things to her, but she continues to abuse her authority. Since she rules the store, what can they do? Mardi Mardi,...

American Queen said the refund would take up to 60 days. We emailed our sales representative two months after the cancellation to...
Olivier Kunckler orders a Chateau Pontet Canet 2019 from a Texas liquor store chain. The company cashes the check, but the bottle never arrives. What happened? I'm reaching out to you as a last resort. I ordered a bottle of Chateau Pontet Canet 2019 from Spec's Wine, Spirits & Finer Foods, a local chain of liquor stores. The bottle was a Bordeaux future, meaning that you buy it sight unseen, usually a couple of years before it is available. I paid by check. Spec's never confirmed my order, but...

My boyfriend's daughter (I'll call her Mary) got married six months ago. She is 19 and pregnant. My boyfriend (I'll call him John) didn't go to the wedding because he disapproved of her husband and the marriage. The reason he gave for not attending was it would make him a hypocrite in front of his other children if he went. This caused a huge rift between John and Mary, and they have not spoken since the wedding. Before this, they were very close, talking almost every day. Mary's baby is due...
