We have received a cold call call from this firm Ramirez Legal Specialists. We have emailed all the information they asked for about our holiday club. I spoke to Anthony Ward yesterday and today had a call from John Didcott Head Legal Advisor asking me for £495 to have paperwork translated for the courts (Malaga Crown Court) and we will receive five thousand one hundred pounds back from our claim. We were also told that the lawyers have paid all the legal fees and we would only have to pay for translating documents. We will not be paying this as I think it is a scam!
Both these men spoke very good English as they told me the company is in Malaga.

From a very suspicious couple,
Linda and David Warren.

You write you are receiving cold-calls from them?

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,
