Alert: Fake emails claiming to be from the UK’s SRA

The LSRA is aware of a scam email in circulation in Ireland purporting to be from the UK’s Solicitor Regulation Authority (SRA).

The email has been sent from an account pretending to be from the SRA. It asks respondents to fill out a compliance questionnaire or click on an external link.

According to the SRA, the email has been sent to firms from the email addresses:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]

Firms should not click on the link or engage with the correspondent. For further information, see the SRA’s website.
