SRA spam e-mail alert

SRA spam e-mail alert

Birmingham Law Society is aware that many solicitors’ firms have received e-mail messages purporting to be from the SRA, some of which refer to pending investigations.

These have been sent from an e-mail account that does not end in @sra.org.uk

These e-mails do not originate from the SRA.

The e-mail will state that the SRA has received a complaint about the firm and quotes the firm’s name and SRA number.

An attachment to the e-mail is supposed to contain the details of the complaint.

However, the attachment contains a virus and we advise you not to open the attachment.
