FRAUD ALERT: Personalized inheritance scam attempt from “Personal Banker Chang Lin Jung”
Inheritance or beneficiary email scams involve lawyers receiving ‘requests’ where their own names are
incorporated into the letter or message itself. These scams refer to a deceased individual who shares
the last name of the lawyer being targeted. This format is an effective tactic that catches the attention and time of the lawyer while they determine the legitimacy of the communication. The latest example purports to be from “Personal Banker Chang Lin Jung”.
Although the specific details may change (names, countries, monetary figures), keep in mind that
legitimate estates do not solicit trustees or heirs by secret letter or email nor do they promise a percentage of the inheritance to carry out the transaction.
Be vigilant with every request for services that you receive. Fraudulent requests for services can be made
by email, paper mail and courier as well as by individuals who arrive in person to retain you and to use
your trust account to receive and disburse funds. Be cautious with all cheques received, especially if they
exceed the agreed upon amount.
Visit our Fraud section to read more on current reported scams and how to avoid them. Remember that you must always confirm a prospective client’s identification in accordance with the Client ID Regulations of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society.
If you decide to proceed with a transaction, be sure to go to the bank website to verify the branch transit number, address and phone number on the cheque. Wait until the bank confirms that the funds are legitimate and are safe to withdraw from the deposit. Where possible, use the Large Value Transfer System (LVTS), an electronic funds transfer system that allows large payments to be exchanged securely and immediately.
For tips to avoid being victimized, read a list of "Red Flags”, and visit the Fraud section on lians.ca. To report or seek advice on dealing with fraud and scam attempts, contact Cynthia Nield at cnield@lians.ca or 902 423 1300, x346.
