Beware of some individual(s) posting a "Attorneys" and "Lawyers" in this forum

Hi All,

Just a quick note to advise the audience here of a potential hazard in these forums.
Oscar would have to post this in any event, I think.  I'll just save him the trouble.

There may be people or organizations posting on these forums from time to time who claim that they are "lawyers" "attorneys" or "solicitors".
Be very aware that some individuals/organizations may not be who they say that they are.
They may, in fact, not have your best interests at heart.  There are many who make money from "extortion letters".
They want you to pay.  They may also say things on this forum that will encourage you to do so without proper knowledge.

So, use caution.
Anyone who claims to be a law professional, and doesn't post their contact info and credentials is likely not a law professional.
In addition, a real law professional will post a disclaimer with their postings.

A gentle reminder needs to be made that it's a serious offence to impersonate a law professional and give bogus legal advice.
Yes, this is the Internet, and people aren't likely to be "caught".  However, persons who cause damages to other parties through impersonating an attorney could be held responsible (including financial damages) for their actions.

As far as I can tell, Oscar is the only licensed law professional that posts here.  We'll all glad of it.
He doesn't need a disclaimer every time that he posts, as this site has terms of use.
You'll also notice how careful and even he is in his responses.
