The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in the United Kingdom has issued a caution regarding a recent scam involving fraudulent lawyers sending emails demanding Bitcoin payments. The scam email, supposedly from 'joyti.henchie@attwaters.co,' threatens to expose personal data and damaging videos unless a BTC payment is made. The email includes a link to a Bitcoin wallet that may contain malware. The SRA clarified that the name 'Patrice Joyce' and the associated firms Attwaters Solicitors and Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors are not authorized or regulated by them. Individuals are advised to verify the authenticity of such emails by contacting the law firm directly and checking the SRA's records. This incident underscores the need to be cautious of email scams, especially those involving cryptocurrency payments like Bitcoin. Similar scams have targeted website owners and individuals in the past, emphasizing the importance of thorough investigation before responding to such demands.
