Our law firm received the following email - along lines similar to the William Bentcross thread already posted, but with a new company name etc. Here's the text of the email:
Subject: RE: Lawyer Needed
Sorry for a lengthy delay in responding . I represent Steven Lawson Tex Co Ltd. We are based in United Kingdom.
We got your contact information from the online Lawyers Directory as a result of our search for reliable firm to provide legal services as requested.
We request your representation to counsel us in litigation and enable us collect a debt owed to us in the amount of $900,000.00USD by a delinquent seller in your jurisdiction. We are of the opinion that once our presence is established in your state via a legal representative, our seller will have no option but comply with payment request.
We are providing our delinquent seller located in your state for your conflict check and to enable you present to us your retainer agreement for your services.
Groban Supply Company, Inc
9300 S Drexel Avenue
Chicago, IL 60619-7726
We will like to have a telephone conference with you on this issue as to let you know further details of this transaction.
We happened to have place an order for Machinery Equipments worth $1,800,000.00, and they demanded we pay 50 percent of the funds before delivering our products. Payment to the seller was made in August of 2010 and our calculation shows that delivery is about five Months late, for the regular purchase agreement requires seller to effect goods not later than 60 days upon payment or legal action may be enforced if delivery delay exceeds 120 days.
It will be very helpful if we receive your retainer agreement for review. This will enable our board decide on the conditions of the retainer in our next board meeting. Also once we have reviewed your agreement I will forward you supporting documents i.e., proof of payment, sales invoice, Wire transfer document. This will enable your firm start working on this case.
We thank you for your business as we look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
william Brentcross.

They even have a website with 2006 copyright notices, though its sketchy, but the domain was only registered on 02/11/2011. Company address and phone are bogus too.
