Scam emails
Grant Saw Solicitors LLP is currently aware of a number of bogus emails, letters and faxes which are being received by individuals, falsely claiming to be from Hudgell Yeates or individuals from Hudgell Yeates.
Grant Saw and Hudgell Yeates merged in 2005.
For example, some such messages indicate that the addressee of the email/letter has inherited a substantial sum of money, and go on to ask the recipient for personal information and/or money. Communications of this type appear to be part of a scam being orchestrated by someone using Hudgell Yeates’s name illegally and without authorisation. This has been reported to the police and other appropriate authorities. The communications are often in the form of emails, or sometimes letters. They are likely to be linked to organised fraud. If you have received such a communication please let us know. It is strongly advised that you just ignore it, and do not respond to it or communicate further with the person who sent the mail/letter to you.
