Warning: Website for 'Refund Experts' claiming to be authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority
4 November 2022
The website at 'www.refundexperts.net' is operating, falsely claiming to be for a regulated law firm called 'Refund Experts'.
What is the scam?
The website at 'www.refundexperts.net' is operating. The website falsely includes a supposed SRA digital badge, claiming to be a regulated law firm called 'Refund Experts'. The supposed digital badge just links to another website that falsely claims to verify this website (see linked alert).
The website 'www.refundexperts.net' also provides a telephone number of +442037692814 and an email address of 'info@refundexperts.net'
The SRA does not authorise or regulate a firm called 'Refund Experts'.
Any business or transaction through 'Refund Experts', for example through the website or contact details above, is not undertaken by a solicitors' practice or an individual authorised and regulated by the SRA.
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.
