The email below, from an unknown sender, was sent to my wife yesterday. There was a PDF attachment and when I tried to open it my security system alerted me that it was trying to send me to an untrustworthy site, so I blocked it. What we did find out is that "law.com" is a non-existent website, there is no certified lawyer in Ontario named Robert Dexter and Canada does not use "attorney," it uses "lawyer."

The PDF attachment had an Abode creative cloud link in it to a stone carver in India whose website I guess has been compromised.

I have had the same email. I tried looking the lawyer up. The Law Society of Upper Canada doesn't list a Robert Dexter either. Also, I don't know a single lawyer who would have a nice grammatical error in their text ... "I and am ..."
