Cybercrime and Fraud Warning

Cybercrime poses a significant risk, and it’s crucial to exercise caution when sending or receiving emails. We will periodically update this page with information about known frauds or scams.

 

Exchanging Bank Details

Be cautious of emails or communications claiming our bank details have changed. Fraudsters often impersonate solicitors and request clients to transfer funds to their own accounts. It is very unlikely that our bank details will change during your case, and we will never inform you of any important business information, including bank details, via email. If you receive a message suggesting a change in our bank details, please reach out to us immediately by phone. Please note that if you send funds to a bank account not managed by our firm, we cannot accept responsibility for any resulting loss.

 

Suspicious Emails

All Tinsdills Solicitors email addresses end with ‘@tinsdills.co.uk’; be wary of any other variations. Fraudsters frequently impersonate individuals from Tinsdills Solicitors to engage the public in scams. Always verify the sender’s email address and refrain from opening attachments unless you are certain the email is legitimate. If you have any doubts, please contact Tinsdills Solicitors at 01782 652300 for verification. Treat any unexpected emails claiming to be from Tinsdills Solicitors as suspicious and report them to lawyers@tinsdills.co.uk. For more information on scams, please visit the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) website. You can also contact the SRA to confirm if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by them, as well as to verify practising details and disciplinary records.
