ALERT!!! PAY ATTENTION!!
It has come to my attention that certain scammers are trying to dupe you (alleged beneficiaries of a non-existent estate) to respond to their PHISHING emails.
Facsimile emails are being used by scammers to make it look like they are coming from me.
LOOK at these email addresses. Do do they look correct– NO!!!!!!!!
peterlklose1@kloselaws.com
peterklose1@inbox.lv
I am sure there are other PHISHING email addresses because various smart people have contacted me to see if I have been trying to give away an estate. THEY DO NOT come from me. You do not have a long lost cousin, there is no lost fortune to obtain from the courts. Don’t be caught napping!!
Unfortunately, there isn’t much we can do to prevent malicious users from creating email addresses like the ones noted above. I did look up kloselaws.com and it seems to have been registered earlier this year by someone.
THIS IS NOT THE WEBSITE OF MY LAW FIRM– DO NOT RESPOND TO IT https://www.whois.com/whois/kloselaws.com
Since these addresses are owned by other users, the only thing we (I) can do is report abuse of the service or domain to abuse@inbox.lv , but since they are a Latvian company I doubt anyone looks at it or will respond.
Likewise with the kloselaws.com domain was likely registered just to create phishing emails. Don’t fall for it!
BE CAREFUL!!
Sorry for the Public Service Announcement,
