relative's name?
My mum's been contacted by a company calling itself Finexit Law LLP of Conneticut USA (finexlaw.com). I've put all their correspondence through ChatGPT and it's given 8 red flags... the biggest of which are that they haven't supplied any proof these shares exist, and they want money up front to sell them!
On the face of it, for someone without any legal knowledge, they look like they might be legit. But you don't have to dig far to find they're not. I wouldn't be surprised if they've gone through the death register and target grieving families that way. Nasty stuff!
Anyone else seen/had something like this? (I'm also posting this as a warning as I know a few of you have had relatives die recently). |  |

Sounds like a scam to me. One whiff of a bank account and I suspect they’ll be emptying it faster than an SNP Chief Executive purloining the donations. Avoid and nice one for warning people.
Fees in my very limited experience form part of the sale itself. Certainly that’s the case for the brother in law’s heaps of shares. People like Equiniti normally broker share selling. [Post edited 8 Jun 17:04]

Nobody needs money up front to sell shares. They sell the shares, take their admin fee from the sale profit and transfer the rest to the share owner.
Remember that old saying, if it sounds too good to be real, its not real. |  | | |

No one needs money up front to sell shares. Classic 419 advance fee fraud by the sound of it. |  |

I mentioned it in my OP.
Yep, very generic, no detail about any of their apparent lawyers/staff. | |

Really? It tells me the resource isn't available on this server.

The company might be legit but the type of business-oriented work they do is far removed from beneficiary tracing.
I can only assume someone is pretending to be them, if indeed they exist. And giving it a US flavour may give it more prestige for the few who might try to find out who they are.
EDIT: there is a company called Finex LLP in this country which is different to the company linked above which is called Finexit.

Once again, the sort of work they do doesn't seem to involve beneficiary tracing but they do appear to have real people. [Post edited 8 Jun 21:38]
