It is not extortion to say that you are going to press charges for harassment unless the person stops bothering you. It is extortion to say that unless the person pays you $50,000, you are going to file charges for harassment.
As above.

This doesn't look like a personal injury or constitutional law matter, and it will probably go unnoticed in these categories. There's no guarantee every question is ultimately picked up, but you could try reposting under Immigration Law. You'd have better chances of a response there. Good luck
Should you fight the reason if it isn't fair even if you both just want it to be over.

A coworker told my employer I lied about taking time off to go to a dentist appointment. I have proof I went to the appointment. Keep in mind, I put in my two week notice a week before I was fired and this has happened to countless other employees of this business.

That may be slander, but if you were going to leave in a week anyway, there would not be enough in damages to make a slander lawsuit worth the time and money it would take to bring it. As to the other employees, their individual situations would have to be assessed.
Good luck to you.

I keep telling them to trace the call but all three times they keep saying that if it happens again they are going to arrest me, but it's not me..... what can I do? The person texting them is using my name but it truly isn't me.

answered on Feb 9, 2022
This is becoming a common problem with these third party apps. Just make sure you keep or screenshot your call logs. If the police go the extra mile they can subpoena IP logs to see where the initiating calls are coming from but they typically not do that unless it is a serious case.

1st you must find a tort lawyer who agrees to take your case on a contingency... that usually means a lawyer must invest his/her own money.
To go to trial could possibly be $25,000 to $100,000 in costs for the lawyer and involve weeks or months in trial.
