So I write back asking more information. Then we get the classic phishing line. If you kick around the site a bit you recognize this is just a redraft of the classic Family Lawyer scam.
Dear You,
I was Referred by George P. Kickliter and He told me to contact you. I am currently living in Japan and my husband live in Nebraska. I tried calling a couple of times and with the time difference(+13hrs EST) it is a little bit difficult to pick the best time to hit on phone you vice verse. We agreed under Collaborative Law Agreement for a one time cash settlement of $450,000.00 usd to his credit, he has paid me $104,000.00 usd but still owing $346,000.00 usd He is aware of my intention to seek legal actions .The lawyer that helped me with the matter earlier is retired now. I will be pleased to provide further information on this matter on request.I expect this to be a non-litigation matter. please let me know if you can handle this and also i would provide the Collaborative Law Agreement to you and also employ your service which would be duly paid for. Thank you and have a pleasant day.
Regards,
Jenifer

Our target market is premised on Demography and Geography.

To balance our cash inflow, we had to restructure our discounts, in spite of the attractive discounts, these firms and individuals have violated the payment terms. Hence, we are seeking your services as a legal representative in the U.S. to ensure that our delinquent and payment dues are settled.
We are incapacitated by distance and also impeded from taking direct litigations. We therefore wish to summon your courage to act on our behalf by initiating the aforementioned litigation but you should employ Mediation approach before a possible law suit. Below are the services we hope your firm can render to us.
1. Provide consultation and legal advice on delinquent payments

Lord of the Rings Attorney
From: Peter Jackson
Subject: Debt collection Inquiry
Date: July 30, 2010 12:47:39 PM PDT
I am Peter Jackson. I am contacting this firm in regards to the
$750,000.00 (Seven Hundered and Fifty Thousand Dollars) I inherited
from my late father. The money is currently with one of the executors
to the estate of my late father who resides in your jurisdiction.
After my Father's Will was opened and read, the executor advised me he
knows of a good investment to put the money into and in six months my
money would be ready plus interest, and he subsequently brought some
contract papers for me to sign. I was too heart broken mourning my Dad
at the time to ask too many questions and I went ahead to sign the
documents. I am hereby requesting your firm to assist in collecting
the money from him since he is un-willing to give me back the money
for no apparent reason.
Sincerely,
Peter Jackson.
