Received 3 days ago in NSW, Australia.Looks very legit.Someone has taken a lot of time and effort to put this together.
Received last month but the court is Manchester instead of Chester. Same people and lawyers name. I used to live in Sydney and now Liverpool, Uk. I know that I have been part of Health Insurance breach in Aus.
If this is a verified scam how is it possible that for over 6 months this website is still up with no authorities taking it down : https://corbinbaumanpc.comIts even a httpS website, a secure verified website with certificate!All the attachments look quite real as well with stamps etc, and there is no obvious way to detect it as a scam other then one becoming suspicious and unlikely to receive large amount of funds out of the blue.
