From the Solicitors Regulation Authority website:
From the WhoIs for hughjamesllp.com:The SRA has been informed that a letter has been sent to businesses and members of the public, regarding a supposed inheritance, which falsely claims to be from Gareth Williams of "Hugh James LLP".
The letter seen by the SRA refers to a supposedly unclaimed inheritance being available, from the estate of someone with the same surname as the recipient of the letter. The letter asks the reader to contact the sender in order to try and claim a large sum of money from a life insurance company.
The letter seen by the SRA provides an email address of “gw@hughjamesllp.com†and a telephone number of "+44 203 769 1878".
Any business or transactions through the email address or telephone number referred to above, are not undertaken by a solicitor's practice or an individual authorised and regulated by the SRA.
The letter also includes a contact address in London, which is an address used by several genuine firms.
The SRA does not authorise and regulate a firm called "Hugh James LLP", but does authorise and regulate a firm with a very similar name.
