Is Makale and Makale Law Firm a Scam or is it Legit?

Question

Answer 1 · December 9, 2022

I received their fax letter as well. Such a scam as there are no relative with this name.

Answer 2 · December 9, 2022

Received as well. Used to get communications like this from Nigeria. Sounds good but will not respond.

Simple call to Canadian/Ontario equivalent of US law agencies would be a first step if inclined to respond.

Answer 3 · December 7, 2022

This is a scam. I know because I do these types of claims for real people. I recenlty got one of this faxes and so did a relative of mine. A legitimate letter comes from a state division of financial services or similar governatal agency and then make sure to call that state agency and make sure it is not a scam. If feels like it is to good to be true, it is scam. Verify verify and verify everything.

Answer 4 · December 7, 2022

I got the same. I agree its a scam for sure.

Answer 5 · December 5, 2022

Scam for sure. They are sending these to a lot of people and, somewhere along the line, ask for bank info so you can pay 'the fees' to get paid the claim total. I believe Makale used to be a prince in Nigeria

Answer 6 · December 2, 2022

I recently received a similar fax that they found an unclaimed life insurance policy for millions that they wish to split with me. I believe it is a sam.

Answer 7 · December 7, 2022

I just got that same fax about the life insurance policy from "Makale & Makale Law Firm". It is definitely a scam.

Answer 8 · November 30, 2022

I just received similar fax. It’s got to be a scam

Answer 9 · November 29, 2022

I just went on to Google Earth to look at the building where Makale & Makale Law is supposed to be located. There is a giant building at 66 Wellington and the next one at 100 Wellington, but nothing in between. 68 Wellington does not exist. There is a space in between with another giant building at the far end, but that building is actually on the next street over. It looks like a scam to me.

Also, we received two faxes, each referring to different last names. The faxes were identical except that "Alan" with the same last name for each fax passed away and left money nine years ago but had no relatives. If we agree to partner in this claim as relatives, they will provide the relevant documents... Sounds illegal to me.
