These fake law firm websites work in conjunction with fake job scams (supposedly assisting in providing immigration documents), fake tender/procurement scams (supposedly providing authorization to submit bids and “notary services”), loan scams, lottery scams, check/money mule scams, Next of Kin scams, etc.

These scammers are not real lawyers, crooked or not. They are 419 advance scammers impersonating lawyers, solicitors or barristers. In most cases, these fake websites are copied or cloned from actual lawyer’s websites.

The scammers are running a very elaborate scam involving the non-existent shares in a fake corporation. They convince a victim that he or she has shares in a fake corporation that they have forgotten about and then offer to buy them. Of course, as in all advance fee scams, there are all manner of fees that must be paid BEFORE the victim gets the money, commissions, escrow and regulatory fees, since, of course, the money does not exist.

They have official looking websites to make the scam believable.
The website of the fake escrow company is https://www.prestigeescrowservices.com. The website of the fake regulators is https://www.departmentoffinancialservices.com and the website of the fake company that the victim supposedly has shares in is https://www.lincolnholdingsgroup.com
