Scam Type: Phishing or Malware
Scam Alert from the Solicitors Regulation Authority website:
The SRA has been informed that emails have been sent, falsely claiming to be from "Lewis and Dick Limited" in relation to an invoice.
The emails seen by the SRA appear to be sent from Jackie.Englefield@lewis-dick.com and Jonathan.Owens@lewis-dick.com but were in fact sent from the email addresses "gonzalo.garcia@tu-id.com" and "Farida@chewore.com". The emails invite the recipient to open an attached "invoice". A concern is that the attachment may contain malware
The emails also provide the telephone numbers "021 2081 4267" and "01208 080266", together with the email addresses of a genuine firm.
Any business or transaction through the email addresses"gonzalo.garcia@tu-id.com" and "Farida@chewore.com" and telephone numbers "021 2081 4267" and "01208 080266", is not undertaken by a solicitor’s firm or an individual authorised or regulated by the SRA.
