We received an email containing EXACTLY the same wording in the last sentence .. "get back to me with your quotes and legal fees to enable you act on our behalf within a proper time frame." (see below). I tried telephoning the number to speak to the prospective client, but the number was not recognised. It seems that the key warning sign is the request by the "client" to ask you to read through documents he will send you and then the words quoted above.

Hello,

Are you available to represent my wife & I in a property settlement? We are in the process of selling our house and have found a buyer. We made an offer on a new house and our offer has been accepted by the seller today.

We would be financing our purchase through the cash proceed from our sale as the new property is a freehold.

Please confirm if I can send you details of both works so you can go through it and get back to me with your quotes and legal fees to enable you act on our behalf within a proper time frame.

Regards
