Please … see below and beware
Dear LIS-LAW,
Solicitors’ firms are reporting that they are receiving phishing emails from an account claiming to be the Law Society.
These messages do not come from the Law Society and should not be opened, forwarded or downloaded. They should be deleted. Recipients who have opened the email should contact their IT provider for support.
We have issued information for solicitors on our website.
The fraudulent emails seem to be sent from a variety of email addresses, including some fraudulently using the @lawsociety.org.uk domain. The emails are sent with a Word document and the subject “Notification regarding a fraudulent activity involving [RECIPIENT NAME]”.
The Law Society is investigating the scam with urgency.
Regards
Emma Harris
Assistant Librarian
Commercial Affairs
The Law Society, 113 Chancery Lane,
