Dear Madam,
We had already warned against them.
They are not a law firm, they are scammers acting as if they were a legitimate law firm.
Please read this thread:
Public Warning.-Scammers passing themselves off as Spanish lawyers and law firms
Your best option is to report it to the Police.
Yours faithfully,
contacted by Alberto Marquez Halcon on May 2009 and again July 2009 in relation to timeshare investment asking for advancement of £2676.00 to pay tax to release cheque. however, worrying in May they asked me to visit Madrid to pick up check, fortunately i suspected something was wrong. thanks for infrormation on your site.
You're welcome.
I hope Betty that you did not lose money in the Dinistia Scam I think this fraudster is trying to take two bites of the cherry I fear they is little you can do to reclaim your money.Quote:
