I received an email following a phone call I got out of the blue from someone going by the name of Julian E Feldman claiming to be a solicitor who happened to know about an incident that occurred to me a long time ago. They quoted their SRA ID 7176885 in the email & this email address:julian.feldman@globalsolicitors.org, so with this info I did some checking which brought me to this page eventually.
I therefore thought I should share this with you because as I suspected, it’s sound very much like a scam.
