Delinquent Money Collection Scam

Hi zieglerlaw and Welcome to Scamwarners.

My guess is the scammers have not actually moved, just gotten a new fake address to help them steer clear of google searches.

Thank you for posting this additional information, every bit helps to prevent others from being scammed.

If you have any questions, please feel fre to ask

A new one?

Subject: Attorney Requisition
Date:

Good Day

I wish to retain an attorney that will assist my company in collecting
funds that are owed to the company. My company has been in business for
over 5 years and we have not experienced any failure in business
relationship like the one which we come to you with. We happen to make a
purchase, paid for and accounted for by our company and the seller,
and the goods were supposed to be delivered to our port. It
has been over 5 months and we have not received delivery or notification
of re-adjustment in estimated time of arrival. We urge for our funds to be
reimbursed to us as soon as possible. We feel that the assistance of an
attorney will show and prove that we are very serious about the matter and
hope it will lead to a resolution and funds collected appropriately. We
have all the documents supporting the case and we are ready to present it
if we happen to go before the court of law to settle this matter. Please
advice on your fees and retainer agreement and any other information that
you would be needing to assess the case. Again, I wish to emphasize the
urgency of the case and urge you to take an earnest attitude towards the
case and I hope we maintain a stable business relationship.

Thank you and I await your prompt response.

Hi Raloly and Welcome to Scamwarners

That email came from 74.210.34.222 Canada (Oakville)* which is consistent with the other scammers doing this scam.


You can see the same email posted Here

Thank you for posting the additional information, it will go a long way to preventing others from falling for the same scam.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask

Hi Ralph,
I am curious about the first three lines in my previous post, including the "Removed-Ralph" entry. Those lines aren't in the email source I originally posted from. Where did they come from, and what do they mean?
Thanks.

I am not sure about the first 3 lines, I didn't touch those, I just removed the date and time, it is unlikely but possible the scammer can work out who he sent mails to at that time and figure out it was you who posted the emails here.

Looking again, I should have removed a couple more dates but found myself tied up with something else before checking thoroughly

Ralph,
Never mind. I need to get my eyes checked, I guess, since I now see those lines in my original copy.

No problem

there was no harm done

The 3 lines are basicaly showing part of the path that the email took to get to you, not the part of importance either way.

Here's one that was forwarded to me and I suspect we will be seeing more like it. This is a confirmed scam so this opens a new can of worms for lawyers. From [email protected]:

hello my name is Nana Hiroko i am a 35yrs old japanese woman,4months ago i
was hit by one of bergen manufacturing truck of which i lost my right leg
and undergoing terapy on my left leg pressently, because of this i lost my
job as a cleaner and now back to japan and my life is missdrable as i have
to pay my bills out of my own savings which is making life very hard and
missdrable for me now.but before i left for japan i was promised that i will
be compersated with a cheque of $500,000 so that i will not take them to

May God Bless you as you help me solve this matter.

Subject: Breach of contract
From: yu billy <[email protected]>



Dear Sir,

We are a financial consultancy company based in Hong Kong representing a Hong Kong Firm ,our client has informed us to look for legal representation for him due to the fact that there was a breach of contract in the purchase of D2 Spot of 250,000/MT (ICPO &#8470;012-Me-TY/2009) ,Due to the Excuses for non-performance by the seller stated in the contract signed by Both parties had agreed to carry out their corresponding obligations under the terms of this SPA completely and satisfactorily to both parties. If one party fails to perform its duties while the other party does complete its obligations at the time of the failure occurs, the performed party is entitled to a 1% of the total contract value as compensation for its liquidated damage plus legal costs (if any) within 72 hours after a written request to pay for the damage.
Upon acceptance of this case we shall be requiring your service as the company involved is an American base company .My Client is ready to take legal actions against the seller but i advised him to settle outside the court so if you take this case i will like you to inform the seller that you are representing my client and he is ready to settle outside the court if he does so he will only has to pay half of the actual total amount asking and including your legal fees if you accept the case that is .
We look forward to your prompt response .

Yours Faithfully,

Billy Yu

We want to retain your services to counsel in the litigation and retrieval of all delinquent accounts from our customers. These accounts have been delinquent for a while and we have been lenient enough to give a credit period before requesting payments but failingly, we have not received any notice in regard to when funds will be remitted to us. Therefore, we want to take it to the next step and have their office be aware of a litigation file in process. We believe that all owed funds to our company will be made payable contingent upon acquiring the assistance of your office. We would like to further discuss this together before making arrangements to receive your retainer agreement, rates and all other essential material regarding your firm's policies. Please consult us for further information needed in regard to the case and I have to emphasize on the urgency to arbitrate these cases.

We look forward to your reply

Sincerely,

John Smith
