   Is it a scam to owe money to a law firm?

   • It doesn't sound like a question of a scam in the sense of someone saying you owe money that you don't. It is possible that the law firm bought it (likely at a significant discount) so you owe it to them and not the original creditor. It is also possible that the law firm handles collections for some clients.

   Is a life insurance lawyer a scam?

   • There is no lawyer. It’s a scammer. And if you email them, they’ll ask for personal information. Or money. Or both. And that life insurance payout? It doesn’t exist.

   Should you email a law firm?

   • The only thing you need to do is keep this information secret and email them as soon as possible. The law firm’s name isn’t Dewey, Scamem and Howe, but it should be. Because if you email them, they’ll ask for your personal information or some money probably to establish an account – or maybe both.
