Suspicious emails warning
Please be aware that criminals may pose as someone from SJ Berwin LLP
in order to carry out scams or frauds. We are currently aware of a
number of fraudulent e-mails which are being received by individuals in
various parts of the world, claiming to be from SJ Berwin LLP, or
individuals working for or otherwise representing SJ Berwin LLP. These
emails may, for example, indicate that the addressee of the e-mail has
inherited a substantial sum of money, and will usually ask the recipient
for personal information in order to claim such funds. Please note that
such emails are not from SJ Berwin LLP, nor are we involved in any way
with such emails. These communications have been sent by parties using
our name without authorisation. Accordingly, neither SJ Berwin LLP nor
any of its partners, employees or consultants will be responsible for
any losses incurred in connection with such fraudulent emails. Any
reference to a partner in relation to SJ Berwin LLP is to a member of SJ
Berwin LLP or to an employee or consultant with equivalent standing.
We have reported these incidents to the relevant authorities and are
taking steps to try to prevent further incidents. Given that these
emails are likely to be linked to organised fraud, we strongly advise
that you ignore any such emails which you may receive. You should not
respond or communicate further with the person who sent the email to
you, nor should you reveal personal information or send any money.
For more details about this and other types of fraud you should visit the OFT website or Action Fraud (the UK's national fraud reporting centre).
Should you have any doubt about the authenticity of a communication purportedly coming from SJ Berwin LLP please contact the Head of Practice Protection. |
