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

[Unregistered]

Recieved letter in post from Portugal. It said we had the same name as a lady who had passed away and her inheritance was in the bank and would go the the treasury if no relative was found. They proposed that even though they know it;s not legite if we posed as the next of kin they would want 20% to go to charity and 80% split between us.
The firm they used was. BAR BERNARD VERGAS ATTORNEY.
My wife has passed my detail to them including my pasport number.

What damage can they do with this information.

Add "Borowski & Associados" to the list.
Received a letter and was advised that some non-existant distant relative "died" and left an inheritance of US$5.5M to be split 10% to a charity and the balance shared between Borowski and me. Has a good website however there is no record of the company or the so called Principal who has ESQ. LLB & Barrister at Law after his name.

Hi there,

I just received a letter in the mail from a Jose Abrienda Y Socio saying he is from the Solicitor y Notaries Public and is asking for further details for a 6.1Million EUR inheritance and that he wants 10% of the inheritance given to charity and split the remaining between myself and him.

Obviously dodgy, just want people to be aware.

8/10/2010 recieved the same letter exactly from Jose Abrienda, how lucky we are to all have such wealthy relatives dying around Europe leaving 6.1 mil. euros. What a scam.

I have received a letter in the mail from a Gomez Abogados saying my next of kin died and left 8.4 millions dollars in a Spanish vault. Even if I am not next of kin, we share the same surname so we can split it 50/50. He claims to be from Spain but is on a job seminar in Austria. He will send me the paperwork if I agree. Well how stupid does he think I am.

Nice try but this is definitely a scam. Please be aware of this name GOMEZ ABOGADOS...

Just received a letter for Perez Palencia ESQ advising of an inheritance of 3,750,000m Euro. Another Nigerian scam which everyone should be aware of. Aparently Perez is a Solictor, Notary Public & Law Consultant based from Madrid, Spain 28020.
