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

Letter says it is coming from Pintor Sorolla (Esq), Diputacion 276, 08009 Barcelona. Telephone +34 672 969 949 / Fax +34 917 903 561 / Email: pintorsorollaeq-at-gmx.es

The address is a rather nice building that could well have been an attorney's residence.

The 'Diplomatic Personal Treasure' amount waiting to be had: $8,550 000.00

'...who died along with his nuclear family during the Tsunami catastrophe, which occurred in December 2004.'

Google translate. LOL!

I think the source where they are getting this info needs to be prosecuted. They are targeting retired individuals.

I think this is an interesting conclusion. How do these scammers get hold of the required information?

Envelope had a nice stamp though!

My mother in law received a letter from a "Barrister" Garcia Sanchez apparently working for G.S Abogados. As other people have already said, this "Personal Attorney" claimed to give 10% of the inheritance to charity, and the remaining 90% split between the benefactor and himself... which is just dodgy because where and how much of the inheritance money goes is completely up to the person who died, not just decided by the lawyer. Also, the fee lawyers get is a fixed sum, am I correct?

I also noticed the english was... a little bad. They spelled "through" as "thru" which is text speak. Absolute bogus.

My son has received a similar letter from Antonex Abogados Y Asociados, Calle Arenal 35, 28013 Madrid. The lettter has been posted from Ireland and offers a 50% share of $8,500,000.
Nice English all the way through, except that it refers to a deceased Mr as "she" a little later.
Thanks for pubicising this site

I just received this letter today, in Canada. From Sr. Samuel Edward principal attorney with cortez agogado. yet in the header it is spelled cortes abogado... you would think a principal attorney could get the spelling of his firm correct. And again a "relative" died in the madrid train bombing of 2004 (I am %100 sure no relatives in Madrid). The letter states to release the fund to him (USD 7.5 million) he will share the ration 50/50.... sure thing fuckhead, especially when your private email address is with yahoo.com and phone number is clearly a cell.

Do your research and do not contact this idiot, it is SPAM.

I'm also from Norway and received a very similar letter today from "Nicolas Cris" (signed something that looks like C Hartonio), an attorney with Guirao Abogados. Promising me 40% of 6.5 million dollars if only I get in touch. Because someone out there with the same surname as me unfortunately died in a car accident, with her whole family, in Madrid on the 27th December 2004. Note: 100% risk free and legal(...), AND there is NO ATOM of risk in connection to this business... Yes, sure... I wish...
If it looks to good to be true, it probably is...
