Dear sir,

My name is Mr Thomas Donald Lee the C.e.o of DONLEE HOLDINGS, HONG KONG and i require your legal
representation for our North American Customers to help me receieve payment with your TRUST ACCOUNT and i will agree to offer you 5% for your service for whatever amount that is receieve by you and the amount of payment we are expecting from our customers depends on the volume of facilities which we have sold which ranges from US$250,000-US$5Million and above .We are of the opinion that the ability to consolidate payments from North America will eradicate delays due to inter-continental monetary transaction between Asia and North America. We understand that a proper Attorney Client retainer will
provide the necessary authorization and we are most inclined to commence talks as soon as possible.

Your consideration of our request is highly anticipated and we look forward to your prompt response/request.


Sincerely,
Mr.Donald Lee,(c.e.o)

All is quiet

Things have been slowing down in the phisherman arena. I am sure this is, in part, because I am not listed on some of the sites that I formally did. So, for fun, I am throwing this beauty up. Honestly, if you even considered this one for a second, you should not have made it through law school.

Dear Counsel,

My name is Rika Takahashi. I am contacting your firm in regards to a
divorce settlement with my ex husband Landscott Takahashi who resides in
your jurisdiction.

I am currently on assignment in S.Korea. We had an out of Court
agreement (Collaborative Law Agreement) for him to pay $648,450.00
plus legal fees. He has only paid me $148,000 since.

I am hereby seeking your firm`s assistance 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/enforce payment from
my ex-husband or litigate this matter if he fails to pay as promised.

Your's truly,
Rika Takahashi

Phishers Move to Avvo for email Mining

I was getting a bit worried. Things were starting to slow down here. I had discontinued my listing with lawyers dot com and martindale dot com. That was where a bulk of my phishy emails were coming from. Lucky me! The phishermen (phisherpersons?) have moved past this old-school advertising model and onto the new kid on the block. And, of course, Avvo is a much better resource, given they have every lawyer listed, rather than only those that can afford the service.

I am still disappointed to see that the phishers have not taken the time to use some of Avvo tools to narrow searches and seek lawyers that are specific to the particular spam they wish to cast out for. For what they lack in talent, they make up for in tenacity. Here is the latest:

I am an interpreter with a Chinese Manufacturing Company and I am from Channel

in your country.Unfortunately these companies are debtors and have failed to
pay. The Company management have mandated me to solicit for an Attorney that
will represent it in contingency basis. That is 10% of funds received out of
