11 November 2026

Telephone calls have been made to members of the public purporting to be from 'Sofia Berger' and 'Sophia Milanova' of 'Beam Law Legal'.

What is the scam?

The SRA has been informed that telephone calls have been made to members of the public from individuals referring to themselves as 'Sofia Berger' and 'Sophia Milanova', claiming to be from 'Beam Law Legal'. We understand that the name of a genuine firm has also been misused (see below).

The recipients of the calls were advised to sign an alleged agreement so that assistance could be provided to them to recover funds. The caller requested a fee for the service and on one occasion asked for payment transfers in cryptocurrency. A genuine firm's address was also provided during the call (see below).

We understand that a website is also operating at 'www.beam-law-legal.com'. The website seen by the SRA provides an email address of 'info@beam-law-legal.com' and telephone numbers of '+44 7417 422-891' and '+41 77 941-09-15'. The website misuses the postal address of a genuine firm of solicitors (see below).

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.
