Dear Counsel,



My name is Ms AKEMI KOBAYASHI. I was married to my ex husband Newberg KOBAYASHI (who lives in your jurisdiction)for 7 yrs and in July 2009, We mutually agreed under a Collaborative Participation Law Agreement to go our separate ways. Newberg had agreed to pay me $914,000.00 under terms of the agreement so that I can settle down and to his credit; he has paid me $104,000.00 but with an outstanding balance of $810,000.00.I am hereby seeking your legal assistance in collecting the balance or helping me enforce the agreement, and have him honor the agreement entirety.

I will be providing further information upon your request. I believe that one of the reasons he has refused to pay is because I have re-married. I understand that been remarried does not automatically void the agreement. Prior to our separation due to irreconcilable differences, we were married for 23yrs of which by his instruction, I was a full time house wife to carter for our four children. Please get back to me if this is a case you can undertake. Let me know if you require consultation fee before you advice or look at the evidence, I am hereby seeking your firm to assist in collecting the balance from him. He has agreed already to pay me the balance but it is my belief that a Law firm like yours is needed to help me collect payment from my ex-husband or litigate this matter if he fails to pay as promised.



Sincerely,


Ms.Akemi Kobayashi

  2. I'm an attorney in MI. Got this today. Same deal.

    I am Ms. Ayako Jaisari, a japanese citizen. I was married to my ex husband Mr. Brijanand Jaisari, which I met here in Japan. He presently lives in Michigan. The lawyer (Takenori Kawamitsu) who helped me with the matter earlier has retired from practicing law. We mutually agreed under a Collaborative Participation Law Agreement to go our separate ways. I try calling a couple of times before I email you and with the time difference (+13hrs EST) it is a little bit difficult to gauge the best time to reach you vice verse. We agreed under this Collaborative Law Agreement for a onetime cash settlement of $914,000.00 usd to his credit, he has paid me $167,862.00 usd but still owing $746,138.00 usd. He is aware of my intention to seek legal actions. I expect this to be a non-litigation matter. I have already advised him I am planning on retaining your firm. When sending me your firm retainer/agreement form in other for us to proceed, please confirm the name and address of your firm just in case he wants to make the balance payment he owes. In addition, I will like to know the rates and all other information regarding your firm's policies. Thank you and have a great day.

  6. I received this today from Mrs kiyomi Manami [manamimrskiyomi@gmail.com]:

    "I need a lawyer to handle divorce matters."

    It took me 1 second to google her name and find your blog. Thank you, you saved me the hassle of replying to a scammer.

  8. Dear Counsel,

    My name is Mrs. Kiyomi Manami I was married to my husband Paul Manami under common marriage law (who lives in your jurisdiction) for 22yrs, we mutually agreed under the terms of a separation agreement to go our separate ways. Paul has defaulted and not complied with terms of the agreement under section F.

    I will be providing further information upon your request. I believe that one of the reasons he has defaulted is because I have relocated to London. I understand that being out of the country does not automatically void the agreement as he is still a resident of your country and resides in your jurisdiction. Prior to our separation due to irreconcilable differences, I was a full time house wife to carter for our only child. Please get back to me if this is a case you can undertake as I am hereby seeking your firm to assist in enforcing the terms of our separation agreement in court and also help me finalize our divorce legally.

    Lastly, find attached copy of the agreement signed between my husband and I. Let me know your thoughts.

    Sincerely,

    Mrs. Kiyomi Manami

  10. I received the following on Sept 17, 2010. I am an attorney in Fresno, CA.

    I am contacting your firm in regards to the agreement between me and my husband Paul Manami, please find the attached documents. I was married to him for over 9yrs of which by his instructions I was a full time house wife to carter for our children. I am currently living in Japan why Paul lives in California and the collaborative Law Agreement is in California. The lawyer (Jeremiah Long) who helped me with the matter earlier passed away some months ago. I try calling a couple of times before sending you an email, but with the time difference (+13hrs EST) it is quiet challenging to gauge the best time to reach you vice verse. We mutually agreed under Collaborative Participation Law Agreement to go our separate ways. He had agreed to pay me the sum of $537,142.00 under terms of the agreement so that I can settle down and to his credit, he has paid me $84,420.00 but with an outstanding balance of $452,722.00. I have not received any notice about when the balance payment will be remitted to me. I believe that one of the reasons he has refused to pay is because I am now living in Japan. I guess that living in Japan does not automatically void the agreement. He is aware of my intention to seek legal actions, and I have already advised him about retaining your firm. I understand the importance of establishing an attorney-client relationship. Therefore, send me your firm retainer/agreement, rates and all other essential information regarding your firm policies so that we may proceed immediately. Please confirm the name and address you will like the retainer fee to be made to. I am looking forward to your prompt response.

  12. And yet attorney's keep taking this case and getting stung! Hello, what are you thinking? Would you tell your client to send someone money before the check clears?

  13. Los Gatos, CA...we have gotten this letter and a variation thereof, about 9 times now. We have written back and told them to call to schedule an appointment, and they actually write back saying that they have tried and the time difference is causing a problem. Finally told them to send money or cut the crap.

  16. Got the same thing today at my Las Vegas firm. Came in as a very innocuous request, like the one above, for assistance with a collaborative divorce. As it was not unusual (aside from the Hong Kong email) I responded. Then I received the lengthy one full of inticing 6-figure judgments which gave a name of a lawyer who has never been licensed in Nevada!). Jerimiah Long Apparently practices in a lot of jurisdictions.

  17. Here is another one: Same phone number that is why I think it is also a scam.
    Dear counsel,

    Thank you for your earnest response. Let me start by introducing the company I represent. Channel Electronics and Security Limited are acknowledged security and electrical experts throughout United Kingdom, it’s authorized to cooperate with foreign individuals and partners for a comprehensive range of security solutions for domestic and commercial premises in the European regions and other parts of the world. We export and Import some of our products in North America and Europe.

    We request your representation to counsel us in litigation and enable us collect a debt owed to us by a delinquent seller. We do appreciate your time in reviewing our request and we will do everything possible to insure a smooth and hitch free business relationship. We are ready to work with you to achieve our goal as the importance of your services cannot be over emphasized.

    We are of the opinion that once our presence is established in your state via a legal representative our seller will have no option but comply with payment request and accompanied with legal action and litigation will push for the accounts to be paid attention to effectively.

    We believe that a normal scenario will require a phone call or demand letter from you to our seller if your services is retained. Although we believed that litigation should be applied as a last resort as we intend to preserve the relationship we have with our seller. Though we do hope not to resort to litigation unless all other options are exhausted but we will like the comfort of knowing that the option is available and letting our seller know that litigation may be enforced if the option becomes necessary.

    We understand the concept of running a conflict check that is why we are providing our delinquent seller located in your state for your conflict check and to enable you present to us your retainer agreement for your services.

    Allied Electronics Inc,
    7406 ALBAN STATION CT
    SPRINGFIELD , VA 22150,

    This particular seller owes approx. $950,720.00 and the delivery is overdue as our regular purchase agreement requires seller to effect goods not later than 60 days upon payment or legal action may be enforced if delivery delay exceeds 90 days. We happened to have placed an order of enclosures, racks and cabinet materials worth $1,901,440.00, and they demanded we pay 50 percent of the funds before delivering our products. Payment for this seller was made in 10th February of 2010 and our calculation shows that delivery is a Months late.

    It will be very helpful if we receive your standard retainer agreement. This will enable our board decide on the conditions of the retainer in our next board meeting. Also once we have reviewed your agreement I will forward you supporting documents i.e., proof of payment, sales invoice, so your firm can start working on this case. It’s not my company policy to give out documents when we have not agreed on retaining your firm.

    We thank you for your business as we look forward to your prompt response.

  19. Dear [Anonymous Lawyer],


    I am currently living in Japan and Randy live in Wisconsin. We agreed under this Collaborative Law Agreement for a onetime cash settlement of $650,000.00 usd to his credit, he has paid me $100,000.00 usd but still owing $550,000.00 usd He is aware of my intention to seek legal actions .The lawyer that helped me with the matter earlier is retired.


    I will be pleased to provide further information on this matter on request. I expect this to be a non-litigation matter. I have already advised him I am planning on retaining your firm. Please send me an agreement/ retainer form so that we can proceed. Also send me the payment information of your firm just in case my ex-husband wants to make the full payment he owes without further delays or possible litigation.


    When I brought the possibility of litigation to his notice, if he keeps on delaying my balance funds, he told me he does not wish to go through any court process with any lawyer or law firm, that payment will be effected soon. He has been in business for years till date, he is capable of sending me my balance money, if not for his greed.


    Thank you and have a pleasant day.

  21. Dear William Francis,

    I was directed by Carini Francis to contact you as regard my Case.

    I am contacting your firm in regards to the agreement between me and my husband Paul Manami. I want us to pursue this issue as soon as possible, please find the attached documents. I was married to him for over 9yrs of which by his instructions I was a full time house wife to carter for our children. I am currently living in Japan why Paul lives in Oregon and the collaborative Law Agreement is in Oregon. The lawyer (Jeremiah Long) who helped me with the matter earlier is presently deceased. I try calling a couple of times before I email you, and with the time difference (+13hrs EST) it is quiet challenging to gauge the best time to reach you vice verse. We mutually agreed under Collaborative Participation Law Agreement to go our separate ways. He had agreed to pay me the sum of $937,142.00 under terms of the agreement for division of our assets so that I can settle down and to his credit, he has paid me $284,420.00 but with an outstanding balance of $656,722.00. I have not received any notice about when the balance payment will be remitted to me. I believe that one of the reasons he has refused to pay is because I am now living in Japan. I guess that living in Japan does not automatically void the agreement. He is aware of my intention to seek legal actions. I have already advised him I am planning on retaining your firm. I understand the importance of retaining your services so that we may proceed immediately. Therefore, send me your firm standard retainer/agreement, rates and all other essential information regarding your firm policies as we proceed further, I will like to add the initial consultation fee with the retainer fee because of the time difference, I can not call you. I am looking forward to your prompt response.

  22. I've sent the following reply to our friend Kiyomi:


    Following our last correspondence, a new mail delivery since arrived. Your erstwhile check that you sent for was not a certificated fund as I once envisualized. But you now have a credit of $37,412,502 USD, to be transformed as you wish. Thank you for your unanimity. I will deposit this funding check in my personal bank account and will initiate full measures as your instructions. Because this transaction involved an international transfer of more than $10,000, I have been forced to report your friend's payment to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in San Francisco. They said they have interviewed Mr. Manimi and Miss Merdian are preparing secretly to rendition Mr. Nobu Kazue. It is my understanding that the Government Agents are intense and want to depose you and your family in the intermediary future.

    Please direct me on how you wish to process. I look forward to remitting the overage amount to you as soon may also be possible. Where should I send this money?

  23. I didn't think it was al all likely I'd hear any more after this, but the next morning I received this:

    Dear William Francis

    Thank you very much for your notice to me as regard the payment you received.

    I have been experiencing difficulties in accessing emails. Therefore I hereby instruct that in any correspondence to me you are to ask for a secret code which I will give you. In any emails from me which do not carry the secret codes please do not correspond. Any email that do not carry the secret code, please do not respond to it as I do not know if my email box is been hacked by someone else. I will be instructing you on how to remit the payment to me as soon as I receive confirmation on this email.

    Secret Code: Peggy

    Please confirm receipt of this email immediately.

    Sincerely

    Manami

  24. I just received the following:

    Thank you for your reply to my email, I really appreciate the gesture. I am contacting your firm in regards to the agreement between me and my Ex-Husband Nobu Kazue. I tried calling a couple of times before I email you but I have not had any luck getting you on phone due to the time difference (+13hrs EST) it is quiet challenging to gauge the best time to reach you vice verse. I am Masako Kazue,I am currently based in Japan. I was married to my ex husband Nobu Kazue (who lives in your jurisdiction) and in August 2009, we mutually agreed under Collaborative Law Agreement to go our separate ways. Nobu Kazue had agreed to pay me $648,450.00 under terms of the agreement, for the up keeping of my children and myself so that I can settle down and to his credit; he has paid me $148,000.00 but with an outstanding balance of $500,450.00.



    The lawyer (Susan E Hargrove) who helped me with the matter earlier is presently deceased. I have not received any notice about when the balance payment will be remitted to me. I believe that one of the reasons he has refused to pay is because I am now living in Japan. I guess that living in Japan does not automatically void the agreement. He is aware of my intention to seek legal actions. I understand the importance of retaining your services so that we may proceed immediately.



    Therefore, send me your firm standard retainer/agreement, rates and all other essential information regarding your firm policies as we proceed further, I will like to add the initial consultation fee with the retainer fee because of the time difference, I cannot call you. I am looking forward to your prompt response. I am willing to forward you all document we have signed related to this issue for your view.



    Though He has agreed to remit part of the payment before now, but it is my belief that a Law firm like yours is needed to help litigate this matter if he fails to pay as promised.



    Sincerely,



    Masako Kazue

  27. Very Similar Scam:

    Dear counsel,

    Thank you for your earnest response. Let me start by introducing the company I represent. Global Technology Ltd. are acknowledged a low to medium volume, high quality contract electronics (and electro-mechanical) manufacturer and outsourcing specialist throughout United Kingdom, it’s authorized to cooperate with foreign individuals and partners with design, procurement, assembly and test of electronic printed circuit board and final box build in the European regions and other parts of the world. We export and Import some of our products in North America and Europe .

    We request your representation to counsel us in litigation and enable us collect a debt owed to us by a delinquent seller. We do appreciate your time in reviewing our request and we will do everything possible to insure a smooth and hitch free business relationship. We are ready to work with you to achieve our goal as the importance of your services cannot be over emphasized.

    We are of the opinion that once our presence is established in your state via a legal representative our seller will have no option but comply with payment request and accompanied with legal action and litigation will push for the accounts to be paid attention to effectively.

    We believe that a normal scenario will require a phone call or demand letter from you to our seller if your services is retained. Although we believed that litigation should be applied as a last resort as we intend to preserve the relationship we have with our seller. Though we do hope not to resort to litigation unless all other options are exhausted but we will like the comfort of knowing that the option is available and letting our seller know that litigation may be enforced if the option becomes necessary.

    We understand the concept of running a conflict check that is why we are providing our delinquent seller located in your state for your conflict check and to enable you present to us your retainer agreement for your services.


    Allied Electronics inc
    305 NORTHERN BLVD
    GREAT NECK , NY 11021

    This particular seller owes approx. $450,220.00 and the delivery is overdue as our regular purchase agreement requires seller to effect goods not later than 60 days upon payment or legal action may be enforced if delivery delay exceeds 90 days. We happened to have placed an order of enclosures, racks and cabinet materials worth $900,440.00, and they demanded we pay 50 percent of the funds before delivering our products. Payment for this seller was made in 10th September of 2010 and our calculation shows that delivery is a Months late.

    It will be very helpful if we receive your standard retainer agreement. This will enable our board decide on the conditions of the retainer in our next board meeting. Also once we have reviewed your agreement I will forward you supporting documents i.e., proof of payment, sales invoice, so your firm can start working on this case. It’s not my company policy to give out documents when we have not agreed on retaining your firm.

    We thank you for your business as we look forward to your prompt response.

  28. This exact one from Mr. Hardy came to our law firm today..The gramar is a huge hint that it is a scam. Plus the fact that correspondence came through a gmail account and not the website purported to be owned by the company.??

    I am hereby seeking your legal assistance in helping me enforce the agreement, and have him honor the agreement in entirety. I will be providing further information upon your request.

  30. I received this in Flint, MI on June 27. Upon further prodding, I was given the address of a hotel in the area, but asked not to contact the other person.

    Dear Attorney,

    I got your email and I am very happy to hear from you. I live in the United Kingdom. I came to United Kingdom after the Earthquake disaster that happen in my country in Japan. I live here with My Boy Friend. I have wanted to call you but due to my financial situation at the moment, i cannot. Secondly, i do not speak english but can only write with the help of the internet language translator. But if you will like to speak with my boy friend who we both live together here, please let me know so that i will tell you when he will be avaliable at home so you can speak to him. He is a chef and daily goes to the resturant where he works.
    .
    Let me briefly explain to you what happen between me and my ex-husband. His name is Mr. Nobu Kazue. and he lives in your jurisdiction in the US. In August 2009, we both agreed to go our separate ways because of his bad misbehaviour. After the agreement, he was asked to settle me with $648,450.00 under terms of the agreement from the court, for the up keeping of my children and myself so that I can settle down but he has only paid me $148,000.00 with an outstanding balance of $500,450.00. The lawyer who helped me Mrs Susan is presently deceased. I have not received any notice about when the balance payment will be remit to me. I believe that one of the reasons he has refused to pay was because I was living in Japan. I guess that living in Japan does not cancel the agreement now that i am in the United Kingdom. I have told him of my intention to seek legal actions against him. Although when i contacted him some couple of weeks ago, He promised to pay me the balance but it is my belief that a Law firm like yours is needed to help me in this matter if he fails to pay as he promised. I have all the document we have signed related to this issue and i can send them to you if you wish. I hope i have been able to explain in small details to you.If there is anything you would like to know, please fell free to ask me and i am willing to answer your questions.
    Thank you once again and i hope to hear from you again on what is next to do.

    Sincerely,
    Masako Kazue
