Legitimate Spanish law firms never do this.

How did they obtain your contact details? Your personal details are protected by Spain's Data Protection Act.

If they have these details it's because they purchased the data base of some timeshare company where you invested/were scammed. It is well-known these data bases are being continously (mis)sold in the black market amongst scammers who then set-up bogus "law firms" and then make cold-calls to the UK or elsewhere offering "group litigation" against the scammers in exchange of thousands of euros. These litgation procedures are never successful and those who pay for them are never returned their investments nor the "legal" (scam) fees paid.

In short, it's the scam of the scam.

Are they offering you a "group" legal action (law suit) against timeshare companies in which you've invested?

Have you spoken to one of their registered lawyers? Do you have the name, surname of this lawyer? If you can PM me the details of one of their lawyers.

We will look into it for you. We will post our findings on this thread.

Yours faithfully,

We were called about two days ago, and we were convinced by a woman, perfectly spoken in English, saying that my name and details had come up, and would we be interested in getting our money back, and who was the firm that we originally dealt with. We thought about this for a while, and we nearly didn't go through with it, as we had been cold-called before, and when they suggested fee for attending a meeting, here in the K, we said No. But, we were told by this woman, Georgina, that she could put our case to their lawyers, and she would get back to us later that day. Of cours she did, and she persuaded us to hand over payment of 560Euros on our credit card!! I had already sent by email our paperwork that we had with DGS Worldwide, and she said that the Euros were for a Retainer for their lawyers to go ahead with the work. She then rang us back to say that our Building Society had blocked the transaction, and would we ring our bank back and authorise the payment. She said that she had forgotten to tell me this at first, because she had forgotten that they still ask their clients to do this to prevent fraud! I was told by this Georgina that I would receive an email by today (February 12th 2010) I have not received anything as yet. I feel sick now, and wished I hadn't convinced my husband that I thought these seemed to be genuine.
Don't know whether to try and contact them by phone, tell them that we've changed our minds and would like our money back, what do you think??
