Update March 26, 2022: Check out the Law.com article based on my work, I haven't updated this as a result.
Bottom line: a group of sophisticated criminals is impersonating multiple retired attorneys in a complex wire fraud scam. They have entire fake law firms and email servers set up, as well as Photoshopped notary seals and wire instructions. They make money by causing victims to wire advance fees to Mexico as part of selling their timeshares.
Read my report to the FBI and decide for yourself.
Read the complaint filed in Federal court, and the ex parte application for a Temporary Restraining Order with supporting data.
Laughing out loud-- this screenshot from one of their forgeries says it all...there is no legitimate person in the world who would drop their notary signature and seal into a PDF with Adobe Illustrator-- conveniently rotated by the user so that it looks straight. I redacted my clients' names.
"Ted Wilkerson," I'm coming for you next. Haha.
