Scam alerts on all legal services from the Solicitor's Regulation Authority
The Solicitor’s Regulation Authority (SRA) produce an updated list of legal services known to be scams or fraudulent. In the UK, solicitors need to be regulated by the SRA. Their scam alerts warn you about people who call themselves solicitors, but are not.
Only people the SRA approve can call themselves solicitors. To maintain SRA registration and approval, an annual verification check is required, so you can be sure the service you get is regulated and trustworthy.
One of the SRA’s functions is to help protect clients and assist people make well-informed choices about using legal services. Unfortunately, particularly with Covid, cybercrime, phishing and scams are on the increase.
You can check SRA list to stay updated about any Solicitors’ mass being used fraudulently, or websites from forms which are not regulated by the SRA.
