False Document or Lawyer.
I received a document from a real New York City law firm asking for 300.00usd, Now my concern is they are addressing a Mr. Earl P. ( i don't want to say the last name) I am not him. Theses people are also saying if i do not pay by the 30 they legal action will be taken against me by rolex USA, But they sent me this by email ? addressing someone else ? is this real ? they claim i have sold a fake rolex, i have sold 1 rolex, but i do not know the authenticity of it. Please explain to me if lawer's will request money by email. They did ask for em to send it to Rolex U.S.A inc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Re: False Document or Lawyer.
Almost certainly a scam -- lawyers don't generally send demand letters as e-mail attachments, and the mis-addressing further increases suspicion.
You can see if the law firm is genuine by looking at the Martindale-Hubbell lawyer directory (free online search); if the payment is to go to the address listed in M-H, then that makes it likelier that the communication actually originated there.
Prudent for you to show the whole thing (print out ALL the e-mail headers, not the usual truncated display) to a lawyer -- probably won't cost you anything for the initial consultation.
