19 December 2024

A Facebook page has been created in the name of 'Lewis Jackson Ltd' in relation to recovery of cryptocurrency.

What is the scam?

The SRA has seen a Facebook page purporting to be the Facebook page of 'Lewis Jackson Ltd'. The page provides the address of 'Ground Floor Chiswick Gate 598-608, London, United Kingdom', the email address of 'support@lewisjacksonlimited.co.uk' and the website address of 'lewisjacksonlimited.co.uk'.

The SRA has also seen screenshots of a website that is no longer operating and purports to be the website of 'Lewis Jackson Ltd'. The website provides the address of 'Ground Floor Chiswick Gate 598-608, London, United Kingdom'.

The SRA does not authorise and regulate a law firm called 'Lewis Jackson Ltd'.

Any business or transaction through 'Lewis Jackson Ltd' is not undertaken by a law firm authorised and regulated by the SRA.

What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
