See answers below
1. YOUR RESUME IS ONLINE. YOU GET ONE EMAIL FROM A POTENTIAL EMPLOYER FOLLOWED BY A LARGE CHECK IN THE MAIL. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WITH IT?
B. Tear it up since you did nothing to earn it
If you want to call the bank go ahead. But the check is fake and they will want some of your money back. No legitimate business pays you before you've worked and one email doesn't mean you're hired.

2. A CHARITY CALLS AND WANTS A DONATION. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO BEFORE GIVING ANY MONEY?
B. Ask them to see their 990 tax form
You can ask friends, but likely, they won't know where the money goes. You need the charities 990 tax form to see that. Many charity watchdog sites have that information. Check to see most of their money goes to charitable purposes, not their own pockets
--------------------
3. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PAY ARIZONA SALES TAX IN WHICH OF THESE SITUATIONS:
B. Personal property under $200 that you bought from a business outside the United States
If you keep your out of country purchases less than $200 monthly, you don't have to pay state tax.
But the state can come after you for taxes on cars bought outside Arizona and online purchases.
