The email and website mentioned in the letter of 'info@thelondonsolicitors.co.uk' and 'www.thelondonsolicitors.co.uk' are the firms old email and website which are no longer in use.
Any business or transaction through the fax number, email address and website above is not undertaken by a firm of solicitors authorised and regulated by the SRA.
Is there a genuine firm or person?

They currently do not have a fax number. The firm's previous email address was info@thelondonsolicitors.co.uk and their previous website was www.thelondonsolicitors.co.uk.
The genuine firm of solicitors has confirmed that they do not have any connection to the letter 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.
