Unauthorised Use of AWS Solicitors' Name and Identity

AWS Solicitors wishes to alert its clients and members of the public to reports of individuals falsely representing themselves as solicitors, employees or authorised representatives of our firm.

These individuals may attempt to contact clients or members of the public using misleading identities, telephone numbers, email addresses, messaging applications or other communication channels.

AWS Solicitors takes such matters extremely seriously and urges everyone to remain vigilant against potential fraud and identity impersonation.

How to Verify Genuine Communications from AWS Solicitors

1. Official Email Communications

Our official email correspondence is sent from addresses using our registered domain:

*@awssolicitors.co.uk

Our general enquiries email address is info@awssolicitors.co.uk.

Please exercise caution when receiving correspondence from unfamiliar, altered or similar-looking email addresses. Be aware that email addresses can be spoofed, and the appearance of our domain alone does not guarantee authenticity.

2. Bank Account Details and Payment Requests

AWS Solicitors will NEVER instruct clients to transfer funds to an account held in the name of an unauthorised individual or unrelated third party. All payments requested by AWS Solicitors will ONLY be requested to be made into an account with the name: "AWS Solicitors".

Clients should only make payments using bank account details independently verified directly with our office. Any unexpected request to change payment details, particularly by email or messaging applications, must be treated as suspicious.

Do not transfer funds until the payment instructions have been independently verified.

3. Verification of Identity

If you receive any unexpected or suspicious communication from someone claiming to represent AWS Solicitors, please independently verify their identity by contacting our office directly on:

020 3930 0036

Do not rely solely on telephone numbers, contact details or links supplied within a suspicious communication.

4. WhatsApp and Other Messaging Applications

AWS Solicitors does not ordinarily conduct official client communications through WhatsApp.

Any unsolicited WhatsApp message or communication through another messaging platform claiming to originate from our firm should be treated with caution.

Before sharing confidential information, providing personal documentation or making any payment, please contact our office directly to verify the authenticity of the communication.

Reporting Suspicious Activity

If you believe you have been contacted by someone impersonating AWS Solicitors or its representatives, please notify us immediately.

Where appropriate, suspicious activity may also be reported to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the relevant law enforcement authorities.

AWS Solicitors expressly disassociates itself from any unauthorised person falsely claiming to act on its behalf.

We remain committed to protecting our clients, maintaining the confidentiality of their information and safeguarding the integrity of our professional services.
