   This is not a lawyer — it’s a scammer. That’s the most important thing to know. But the letter sounds convincing, explaining that the firm has tried to contact family members. No heir, they say, has come forward to collect the multi-million-dollar life insurance policy or inheritance.

   It's a solicitation letter from that law firm. It is a boilerplate letter they send out. They must search court records or get a list of new filings. Someone is suing you. Go to the OC Court website and search case information. It's free and you don't need anything just the case number.

   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. If you get one of these letters: Don’t respond. Never share your information with someone who contacts you and says they need it.

   Is law firm a legit company?

   • It is a legit company. Doesn't mean somebody isn't using their name to scam you. There are some typos and syntax in this letter that seems like someone who isn’t a lawyer (or native English speaker either) wrote this. For what it’s worth that law firm is a real law firm in California, and their website has similar graphics to the letterhead.

   • Worst case scenario is some collection agency trying to get a lien or something. But again, you should know through actual legal means since you would need to be served.

   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.
