The legal notice email message below: "Show Cause Notice For Settlement," which appears as if it came from the law firm United State Law Office, claiming that a legal case has been registered against the recipients, is a fake sent by scammers. Scammers are sending the same fake email message with the names of different law firms that have nothing to do with the email messages. Scammers use legitimate law firms in their fake email messages to make their scams seem legitimate, to help frighten their potential victims into following the instructions in the same bogus email messages. The scammers’ aim is to trick their potential victims into sending them money by pretending to be debt collectors. So, if you have received email messages like the one below, claiming that you own money or an arrest warrant was issued for you, please delete the email messages.
