First Line Legal Services

Has anyone been contacted by the above co, claiming they can get compensation for you, via frozen assets now available to investments made overseas. I think this is a advanced fees scam. They say you only have to pay notary fees and translation fees for your documents.
Once you send in the documents they tell you whether you have a case, and then presumably ask for the fees upfront. Interestingly they asked me to look on this site to see appraisals. They say they have got monies back from big companies like MRI and Dream Homes worldwide.

    First, a word of advice for you. Never use the same user name on different websites. It makes it easy for people who may not have your best interests at heart to gain information about you.

    They're called FAST Line Legal Services not First Line.

    The reason why they pointed you towards Money Saving Expert is because a load of dubious one-post-wonders joined up to say they were using Fast Line's services to chase after a bunch of timeshare scammers called MRI.

    Apparently,according to this website, in Spain it is against the law to cold call offering legal services which is what Fast Line have done to you.

    It looks like they charge a fee of anywhere between £800 and £3000. I can find no reports of anybody receiving compensation through their efforts.

    OP its totally genuine, but I can get you a higher rate of compensation, and for lower notary and translation fees.

    Just PM me your name/address, bank details, debit card number, expiry and CVV2 code and I will [STRIKE]empty your accoun[/STRIKE]t get the ball rolling.

    Come on OP its so obviously a scam that you should consider giving up using telephones and the internet, and have all your financial decisions checked by a 5 year old.
