I have received many of these email solicitations. The first time I got such a
message years ago, I asked for more information such as the names of the
attorneys, case name and case number, etc. The names I was given were real
attorneys only they were in other states far away. I know all the major
divorce lawyers and the names were not familiar. We also checked out the party
names on our court website (which has case information). No such named
litigants. Ever since then, I don't open most of these emails and certainly
not the attachments. This is problematic in that I have had legitimate
inquiries from overseas clients with domestic relations issues or cases in my
jurisdiction. In short, be careful.

I have, though from Japan. If you look very closely at the attachments, you'll
become suspicious. It's probably a scam.

I've received an email from a person claiming to be in Korea and needing help
with collecting on a collaborative divorce settlement agreement - but with a
couple of twists I've not seen before. Her follow-up email has several
attachments, including docs entitled AGREEMENT, DECREE, and COLABO AGREEMENT,
and it contains some local information that adds to its credibility but could
easily have been obtained online. I've not yet opened the attachments yet but
am wondering whether anybody else has received a similar communication, as
this one looks otherwise like all the other scams that come through my inbox
on a given day.
Thanks,
Clyde
