Personal injury lawyers beware.  Scammers are pretending to have been in an accident and need your legal services to settle the case.  There have been email scams aimed at the public pretending to come from real law firms (I wrote about that in my article “Is Your Law Firm’s Name or Brand Being Used to Commit Fraud?”) and there have been e-mail scams targeting law firms, usually for collection services.

Previous email scams I have seen include e-mails requesting my services to collect a debt. You should treat any e-mail from a potential client requesting your services to collect any type of debt as a fraudulent scam. For instance, some of the e-mails I received an request my services to collect a business debt, money owed for a divorce settlement or anything else someone can think of. Usually, these e-mails explain that the client is in another country and that the debtor is in my jurisdiction
