I want to know if Furgale Law Firm Canada located at furgalelawfirm.com is legit or not. I visited their website and found testimonies of people who said the law firm helped them get their businesses off the ground. But, what I find strange is that the website was registered for the first time 56 days ago (less than 2 months).
If you have any information about Law Firm Canada located at furgalelawfirm.com, please leave it in a comment below.

As with all the others, we received a FAX today at the office that informed me of 13 million dollars that someone with the same last name was killed in an accident 9 years ago who was one of their clients and no one has come forward for the claim. What was cool was the person that "died" in the accident that was listed was actually my husband who was sitting beside me when the FAX came to the office. My husband looked at me and I asked him if he was an imposter. Sad attempt by these scam artists.
A fax of the same letter was received at our hospital on 1/23/23 addressed to someone who used to work here and telling that person they were inheriting $13,030.00 and to contact Lee Francoeur at Furgale Law Firm at 1485 Portage Ave. in Winnipeg, Canada. Thank you all for confirming that it can go to the shredder.
Received the same information claiming to have a long lost relative that I had no clue about that lived in Canada that left me 13,000 and the office if looking for a beneficiary that died nine years ago come on can they not think of a better story than that!
Received fax claiming I had a long lost relative with a $13 million life insurance policy, waiting to be claimed by me. How odd and how sad.
Same. Sent to my office today.
Also received a fraudulent fax attempting an “Inheritance Scam” fraud! Link below addresses this fraud:https://lawsociety.mb.ca/notice-to-the-public-beware-of-lee-francoeur-scam/Please note that I have received many faxes also attempting an “Inheritance Scam” fraud. Sometimes using the name, etc. of a real attorney!
I got the same fax today. I agree it seemed fishy
My wife received an e-fax from this entity as well as another "law firm" with the exact same verbiage but a different "contact." The whole details of the scheme were fishy and didn't add up. I fully believe this is a fake entity for phishing.
