From the WhoIs for ablawfirm.co.uk:A letter has been sent from "Anthony Brown Law Firm", regarding a supposed inheritance.
The letter seen by the SRA informs the recipient their details were received from "the American public record while searching for a last name similar to my late client’s". It goes on to inform the recipient that the supposed late client "deposited one trunk box of personal treasure, containing the sum of US $9,750,000.00 (Nine million, seven hundred and fifty thousand united states dollars only)". The letter encourages the recipient to "stand as the next of kin" although they "may not be anyway related to my late client".
The letter informs the recipient to email "tonibrownesq@gmail.com" to indicate their interest and is signed off by "Anthony Brown". The letter also misuses the postal address of a genuine law firm, provides the contact number "011 44 (744) 093 4046", a fax number of "01144 (208) 711 3304 and the email address "info@ablawfirm.co.uk".
The SRA does not authorise or regulate a firm called "Anthony Brown Law Firm". Any business or transactions through "Anthony Brown Law Firm" or the email addresses and contact numbers set out above, are not undertaken by a solicitor’s practice or an individual authorised or regulated by the SRA.
