Any business or transaction through the above website, under the name 'My Money Refund Limited', and the SRA ID '34231' is not undertaken by a solicitors' practice authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The genuine firm of Money and Me Solicitors Limited has confirmed that it does not have any genuine or intended connection to the website and document referred to in the above alert.

What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
