Public Warning.-Scammers passing themselves off as Spanish lawyers and law firms

[Unregistered]

This is an email I received after a conversation with him.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Olbrys,

Lorca Lorca & Asociados is a law firm, appointed by the P.G.R. to filter and conduct an investigation on all private information seized on Mexican territory. There is an open federal case for many counts of fraud, money laundering, amongst other major crimes. P.G.R has seized assets along with catalogs and data bases from "Boiler Rooms" involved in fraudulent transactions, with connection to timeshare.

Article 68 of Mexico's L.F.P.D.P.P.P. (Ley Federal de Proteccion de Datos Personales en Posesion de los Particulares), translates to Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data, which states the following: Any transfer of personal data, whether national or international, is subject to the consent of its owner.

In addition, under Article 56 of the Consumers Protection Law, your information is protected, and both of the consumers right laws have been violated. We also have an option to relinquish your rights to your vacation membership as a result of the above-mentioned Federal Laws. We will determine if the resort has any involvement, which PROFECO will sanction according to Federal Laws. Once the Foreign Vacation Investment Owner is identified as a victim, which crimes/frauds range from direct timeshare complaints, third party monetary losses, harassment via telemarketing calls, etc..., Lorca Lorca & Asociados will provide pro bono legal assistance federally funded. Legal assistance will result in restitution for lost money, damages, relinquishment of rights, other legal causes violated, harassment, and/or apprehension of suspects involved in timeshare fraud.

Once this is done, each case will be examined and evaluated on a case-by-case bases. Cases will be disbursed in order of assigned Case File I.D. number.

Attached you will find the “Cuestionario de Ingreso y Autorizacion� form, please forward the completed form with the required signatures by fax or email.

I received a fax stating that a possible distant relative in Spain has an estate to finalize. I have no relatives in Spain. This is a scam of course. I looked up the street address provided in Madrid on Google. It is an unidentified door between two restaurants.

Both me and my father got the same letter post marked from Spain saying we could share €14,320,000. We live in Toronto (Canada).

The letter was well done generally, with only a few awkward phrases... no spelling mistakes and what looked like a real stamp at the bottom (but a fake watermark).

There is no return address to look up. The phone number provided appears to be a cell phone. This is the header information:

We got a letter today from Mrs Catalina Moreno. Our relative also died in a car accident 6 years ago. She wants 50%, 40% for us and 10% to charity. Very confidential though. Not to talk to anybody. I’m surprised that she spent 1.3 Euro on the stamp. On the internet, this scam doesn’t cost them anything. So this seems a bit more legit when they do it this way.

Here is another example.

Spanish "lawyers" contact you to claim an inheritance.
They have a website full of content but poorly made (particularly for a law firm claiming to be one of the largest).

BUFETE-HALCON may be a real law firm but www.bufetehalcon.com is a Scam site.

Example scam letter:

Dear Mr. #######, your further concern-

It's imperative to revert back to you regarding the actual situation behind my research and demanding your confidential interest in the matter described here-under for a reputable partnership, I'm satisfied having technically interviewed you as to ensure the intents of this opportunity falls in-line, I've been representing this very case over these years, and I'm sure only with absolute transparency and under a concrete agreement within us we could carry out a fairly legal transaction. Emphatically I've an ultimatum from a Bank here in Spain of a shutdown account of late Mr. Marcell Eronald #######, legally administered as custodian before his accidental death. I fully understand you are not related biologically, but by virtue of the circumstances surrounding your names similarities, has richly concluded a 100% possibility of you a potential entity to carry out acquisition of the financial asset under my legal influence.

I'm compelled to act in this case, because ever since I was contacted by the bank of his left investment, approximately "Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars" made before his death in 2009, I've been maintaining a close administrative relationship while consenting as legal custodian of my deceased client until the recent acquisition frame notification, that their bank policy cannot condole the dormant account condition anymore, rather the account will be repatriated (Lack of supersede) and ceased finally. Under the ultimatum, I have done efforts to locate rightful relative but to no avail. Due to persistence pressure I thought searching for someone with the same last names, competent enough to be placed in position of next of kin to claim this fund, as my professional ethic allows me in this case.

I needed someone who I can entrust, and capable to such financial transaction. Lucky enough you are one from the contacted persons and my instinct tells positively to entrust your partnership. For the fact you bear the surnames [######] it's guaranteed that I can present you as next of kin (beneficiary) since there was no written WILL made. All I am asking of you is to accept the acquisition preparation on your name, set-up and administer Trusts, carry out the Administration Of Estates and prepare an administer Powers Of Attorney so that you can receive the funds. NOTE; If this is not done now, the Bank will consider releasing the funds to Government account as UNCLAIMED FUND, as they did noted on the last message, so to avoid that let us quickly take advantage of this golden opportunity since my position allows me to present you as next of kin to the legal claims which I can assure you a 100% risk free for us.

Here is the deal; we shall share this fund 50% each when you finally receive the claim to any valid operational bank account outside Spain. Be assured I have made profound research on the Spanish Probate system and I can guarantee you based on my expertise. This is one life time opportunity and still I do request that you keep the content of this mail confidential and the integrity of the information, because I have contacted you independently on behalf of our chamber [BUFETE HALCON]. Please if you demand to get more information, just let me know as I am willing to share further details or give answers to all questions.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.


Best regards,
Mrs. Florina Clarke Modesto.

Be aware of the fake lawyer named gonzalez san alberto, mark frederick lechner law associates. I fell for the scam because this "san alberto" person furnished me with authentic-looking documents with seals, etc. I was told i shared the last name of someone who died in madrid and who left no beneficiaries. I was also put in touch with vinsa grupo, the supposed keeper of the vault with the more than 7 million euros. I was told by this scam lawyer that we would split the money with 10% going to charity.

He called me (i stupidly gave him my number) and he sounded so nice. What a fool i am. I hope whoever is reading this did not fall for the trap as i did. I was cheated out of several thousand dollars.
