Please always be vigilant for internet fraud and cybercrime. Always telephone the solicitor handling your matter to check bank details before transferring money.
JC Solicitors will never send you an email regarding our bank details. A phishing email may contain a fraudulent email address or phone number for JC Solicitors, therefore you must be vigilant to check with us. Similarly, JC Solicitors will always telephone another solicitor’s firm or managing agent before sending any monies to them. We cannot take responsibility if you transfer money to an incorrect bank account.
If you have any concerns regarding an email which you believe has been sent from JC Solicitors you should telephone us immediately.
