    Default Legal Advice Counsel

    This firm has vacated their premises - I visited their office in November. All their equipment had been removed and it was being used by another company - not LAC.
    Their web site still exists but they do not answer the phones, respond to faxes or a contact form inquiry.
    I am aware that some of their clients have paid rather large sums of money and are worried about the lack of response as LAC promised to give them frequent up-dates on progress.

    Default Legal Advice Counsel - Marbella

    The web site of this firm now says that there have been communication difficulties and asks concerned people to email them for new contact details.

    Default TPP Legal Ltd

    After we publicly exposed Legal Advice Counsel and their sister company European Legal Solutions for what they were, scammers, they vacated their premises in October 2009 promising to keep in touch with their "clients" as they were having "communication problems". Quoting LAC's website:

    http://www.legaladvicecounsel.com/

    "NOTICE

    This web site will soon be closed down due to

    communication problems since October 2009.



    Please use the contact form if you would like

    to re-establish communications with LAC.

    - 4/1/10 -"


    Now some months after, we keep receiving e-mails on a new UK "law firm" that seems to have taken over the client files of the now defunct bogus "law firm" Legal Advice Counsel and it's sister company European Legal Services which were both based in Marbella (Guadalmina, San Pedro de Alcántara).

    I suggest all those that are being cold-called -again- crosscheck with England's Law Society and other UK Authorities to make sure this new "law firm" located in London is indeed legitimate:

    This is their website:

    http://tpp-legal.com/index.html

    And this is their address:

    "TPP Ltd.
    Park House. 111 Uxbridge Road.
    Ealing, London, W5-5LB.
    +44 208 133 1897."

    I copy and paste one of the e-mail queries we've received on them and our reply relating to TPP Legal Ltd:


    Name: Mr
    Email:

    Phone:
    Comments: Sirs I have been contacted by a company called TPP Legal who say that they have taken over the cases of the company Legal Advice Council which you told me earlier was a SCAM company. These people now tell me that they have had agreement from a time share company called Sunterra Ltd to payout on the claim that LAC where supposed to be fighting for me.Can you tell me anything about them or is this just a scam also

    Yours
    And our reply:


    Dear Mr ....,

    I take it you are aware they created their website on the 19th of January 2010, barely some weeks ago:

    Tu petición es "tpp-legal.com"

    Whois Server Version 2.0

    Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registeredwith many different competing registrars.

    Creation Date: 19-jan-2010
    Expiration Date: 19-jan-2011>>>


    Have you read the following on their website?:

    http://tpp-legal.com/contact-us.html

    "TPP Ltd is a trading entity of Trade Pour Premier Ltd. N° 40103166660
    20/22 Kr. Barona Str. Riga. LV-1050."

    This means their parent company is located in an Eastern European country...

    How did they obtain your contact details?

    As they claim to be a law firm using solicitors, can they give you the name, surname of the UK lawyers so you can crosscheck this information with England’s Law Society:

    http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/choosin...asolicitor.law

    Quoting their webiste:

    "Welcome to TPP Ltd.

    We are a specialist legal firm committed to assisting clients in resolving their disputes. At each stage of any dispute, TPP Legal will be pro-active in achieving your objective whilst ensuring any court proceedings or dispute resolution is dealt with quickly and in an effective manner.

    Disputes are a fact of life, with TPP Ltd you can resolve them.

Our lawyers offer the best available independent legal services at reasonable cost. As a result, our reputation has attracted both private and business clients from locations throughout the UK and more than 30 countries worldwide."
    It's remarkable how a newly incorporated company can claim such a hard earned reputation and impressive track record in such a short span of time (weeks)...

    Naturally, no solicitor names are mentioned on their website...

    Default LAC and ELS

    LAC are the subject of various claims for unpaid bills and the Police are no doubt aware of the possibility of fraud and associated activities.
    The web site - which they have not yet paid for - will be closed very soon - the web site has contained a notice stating this for several months.
    A facility was offered on the web site which would provide the latest contact details for the persons responsible for LAC and their various activities.
    Anxious clients have been provided with information by private email.

    The web site and all emails traffic is archived and would be available for use in any official investigation but any request would have to be legally supported.

    The business was probably not set up as a scam but the inexperience of the team managing the firm was over whelmed by the high level of response from clients and a complete lack of internal organisation.

    There are probably hundreds of disappointed clients out there and their funds are probably lost forever or residing in Jyske Bank Gibraltar.

    No comment.

    Keeping a website archive is definitely a must.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    The names they were giving out over the phone weren't even their own real names. The same is true of many of these ongoing cold-call telephone scams. These people are not daft.

    The bank accounts that were set-up to receive the client's funds were located in tax havens outside Spain's legal reach.

    They had set-up two "law firms" (Legal Advice Counsel and European Legal Solutions) within the same city (Marbella) with no addresses, telephone numbers, faxes, solicitor's names etc. Only an internet form to contact them filling in your personal contact details.

    Is that also as you coin it due to the "inexperience of the team managing the firm"?

    I would think that type of behaviour falls under a different name. Maybe my level of English is limited and you can stand me corrected on my poor choice of words.
