Q: Looking for a Lawyer to accept and sign documents in behalf of a Canadian Bank.
I am inquiring if your office can accommodate our request.
Our company is currently finalizing some requirements with a Canadian Bank and they are asking if a Lawyer can witness and sign in their behalf since they are not here to personally accept the documents.
Is this something you can help us with? If so, How much would it cost?
A: I agree it is likely a scam. I get about 6 emails per year from persons located in a foreign country that suddenly want may services without knowing anything about me. Several years ago I followed-up on a couple of these and in they were just phising for information to scam me.
