I have received a notice of death benefits, where can I find if lawyer is reputable and client existed? -

I have received an offer via email from the UK, how can I find out if the sender a lawyer is reputable, and if the client he represents in a death benefits case really existed and where would I find a public notice of said client’s death? Does the UK have a public service that one may search for fradulent activities?

Its probably a scam, a lawyer would send something important like that on official headed paper and you would probably have to sign for it. Sorry

Of course it s fake - Spam is known as Junk eMail for a reason ... I hope you didn t reply ?

So sorry, it was really me they were looking for.. Gotta be true, they sent me 43 notices yesterday... Sorry, to be serious, this is a scam that s been going around forever, they re just trying to make it look honest... Check the spelling, the grammar, etc, plus, if it were real, they d have sent you registered, signature required snail mail, not an email.

This sounds like a classic 419 scam (aka Nigerian scam). Do not reply to this e-mail, and most certainly do not send this scammer any money. For more information regarding 419 scams, check out the following links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_fee... http://home.rica.net/alphae/419coal/
