Society launches updated Call, Check and Confirm leaflet
The Law Society of Northern Ireland have launched a new publication aimed at
supporting solicitor firms and their clients in their fight against scammers.
The publication which updates the Society's Call, Check and Confirm leaflet
now focuses on 'Money Transfers'.
Scammers are actively targeting email correspondence between solicitors and
their clients in relation to the transfer of money by intercepting, misdirecting
and defrauding the client into making payments into the scammers bank
accounts.
The Society's new leaflet reinforces the message that if you receive email
correspondence or contact which is unexpected or requests a change in bank
details or money transfer you should immediately call the other party, check
they sent the email and confirm that matters are correct.
The new flyer is available to anyone to download from
