My wife got one as well. I thought it was a scam when I read it, but I wasn't sure; the messages I see here confirm that it's bogus. Many thanks to the person who posted the original question!
Got mine today...$11.5M; real estate investor and precious stone dealer; died 3 years ago - must claim in 2-3 years; alternate email address is Gmail; etc.Website has no photos for legal team members - in fact, no full face photos anywhere, Chicago area address but mailed from Canada, etc.Good thing I am able to eschew the $11.5M.
Nice try guys! Website looks good and might fool man. Forget this scam!
Scam: My last name is unique, so the name they made up for "Dr. Marcus ..." is 100% bogus
I just got the same... "Dr Marcus" with my UNIQUE LAST NAME...Thank you ALL!
I got my letter also! It is a stupid scam! Ignore!
Same here - All of the above...total obvious scam
Me too got my letter February 1 11,550,300. SCAME!!Read it close the man has been dead for 3 years but the insurance money must been given to the state if unclained for 2 years. Also your name and the Late client is in bold type.
Received letter today, all the points same as above.
I got the same. Website looks good but some links don't work and there are spelling errors. Likely they want your personal info including bank accounts so that they can make a big withdrawal.
Just received mine yesterday . Exact same bs: 11.5 Millions, deceased relative, 10% to charity, 50/50 split, highly confidential, Eric West
I received this same letter today, Feb. 1, 2024. Scam for sure!!
I got my letter yesterday 11.5 Million USD
My letter came in this afternoon's mail. Amazing that they have so many dead clients with life insurance policies ALL with $11.5M death benefits! Good grief!
I just received the same letter! Scam
I received same letter on 1/20/24 stating my last name was same as deceased. I was to share $11,550,300 with them after 10% goes to charity. The signature was Eric J. West supposedly, but if you looked at the signed name, it did not even match the printed name. It also stated that the claim "requires a high level of confidentiality". Big sign of scam!
I got the same letter a week ago. Scam.
Same letter. Scamola.
Got the same letter with $11.5 million inheritance letter. And same lawyer Eric West wanted to help. Scam
I received the same exact letter 1/20/24. I will not be responding.
I received a letter in the mail from them, allegedly an attorney named Eric West who wanted to help me collect an $11.5 million inheritance because I have the same last name as an alleged client. I'm pretty sure it's a scam.
We received the same letter! Definitely a scam!
If you can't find it at the Canadian Bar Association's website, it should not be trusted then.
