Email Scam Warning
Emails have been sent to multiple recipients, falsely claiming to be from partners and associates at Latham & Watkins. These emails are financial scams or phishing scams and have taken several forms, including:
- Details about an unclaimed inheritance for the recipient, with the target of the fraud asked to advance fees. For more information about one such instance, please click here.
- Details about a financial settlement, with the target of the fraud asked to prepare a marriage license
- Details about a tax liability, with the target of the fraud asked to make payment or face litigation
- Details about a work-from-home employment opportunity, including a request to interview using online chat or text messaging
- Attachments with links to phishing sites
