Warning -- Old Fraud On-Line Coming Back

There's an old fraud on lawyers that is coming back with emails.

A "client" contacts you and retains you to collect a debt.  Oddly you collect it easily and get a "certified" cheque.

You then deposit the cheque and send the client the funds -- to learn several days later the "certified" cheque was a fake and you are left on the hook for sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars.

When done properly the client starts by calling you directly -- now it seems to be badly written emails (see below).  Regardless, beware!!!

"Dear Counsel,

I am seeking legal representation from your law firm   regarding a breach
of Loan agreement I had with my borrower.

I need proper legal advice and assistance to know the best way to handle
this issue. If this is your area of practice, please contact me to
provide you with further Information.

Regards"

Any time you receive a dodgy cheque, you can take it to the issuing bank to have it verified. The teller can do it instantly, and there's no charge.

Mark, that's totally correct and the right approach. Or you can get the cheque certified for a few bucks.
