What is the scam?
The SRA has been informed that various websites including https://www.burleylaw.org and https://www.burley-law.com were operating and presented as a genuine UK based law firm falsely offering legal services in protecting businesses in chargebacks, tax and crypto.
The bogus websites provided the firm’s office address as 'Universities Centre, Faraday Wharf, Holt Street, Birmingham, West Midlands, England' and its email address as 'info@burleylaw.com'.
The websites also claimed that the following regulated individuals are affiliated with the firm:
- Marlina Demert

The SRA does not authorise or regulate these individuals.
The SRA has also been informed that an individual by the name of Maitre Lecia Vael who claims to be an employee of the firm is approaching people online and on social media platforms offering services in recovering lost crypto funds.

What should I do?
When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary.
