Re: I was told i was a benificiary to a will
The first action you need to take is to determine if this is a legitimate will and you truly are the beneficiary. Please be advised that if you do not know this person, that this might instead be a scam intended to rob you of any money you may have in your account. How it would work is that you give this alleged law firm your bank account information so that they may deposit the funds into your account by means of wire transfer. Instead they will take out any money you have in the account instead.
You should immediately contact and retain legal counsel to protect your interests in this matter and in the event this is a legitimate will you will need legal guidance.
You can contact my office directly for more information at 412.731.0865 or by email at [email protected]. Wishing you all the the best.
