Warning: A website for 'Investing All In' falsely claims to be for a law firm regulated by the SRA

27 May 2021

A website for 'Investing All In' (or Investing Allin) is operating and falsely claiming to be the website for a law firm authorised by the SRA.

What is the scam?

The website 'www.investingallin.com' is operating and falsely claims to be the website for a regulated law firm named 'Investing All In' (or on the website 'Investing Allin').

The website provides a postal address in Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia but falsely claims that 'Investing All In' is authorised and regulated by the SRA. 

This website is not a website for a genuine firm of solicitors. The website does however misuse the genuine SRA ID number and Companies House ID of a genuine firm of solicitors (see below), as well as copying text from the firm’s genuine website.

The SRA does not authorise or regulate a firm called 'Investing All In', and any business or transactions through the website set out above are not undertaken by a solicitor's firm or a solicitor authorised and regulated by the SRA. 

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine firm of solicitors called AMK Legal Limited based in Bolton, England.  AMK Legal Limited’s genuine SRA ID is 666920 and its Companies House number is 10449896.

The genuine website for AMK Legal Limited is www.amklegal.co.uk

The genuine firm AMK Legal Limited has confirmed that it has no connection to the website 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.
