BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY! DO NOT OPEN ANY ACCOUNTS WITH THEM OR GIVE THEM ACCESS/LOG IN DETAILS TO ANY OF YOUR MONEY, DEVICES OR ACCOUNTS!Last year my partner invested £250 in a crypto company called Zeta that went bust for dodgy trading. We knew this and had written off the money. Then today out of the blue someone calling himself Steve Milan called from "Summers Law" telling my partner that Zeta had made more investments in his name and that now he was owed over £32,000.First Steve wanted my partner to open a new crypto wallet over the phone with him in order to access the funds (which is a common crypto scam in itself wherein scammers then have access to the new account which is linked to your bank and they steal your money). When we told him that I already had a wallet, he wanted me to log in and give him remote access to my computer so he could verify the account in order to transfer the funds. When we told him we were not happy to do this and asked why he could not just transfer the money the traditional way using my wallet address, he gave a very long winded answer talking in circles about how this was the only way to verify the transfer and follow UK banking rules for large amounts and just a bunch of nonsense that never justified granting him access. When we continued to challenge him on this he got more aggressive, telling us we simply weren’t listening to him and clearly losing his patience at not being able to gaslight us.We knew this sounded super sketchy so we asked him to put all this in writing along with information about his company, email it to us so that we could properly review it all, and call us back. When he sent the email it came in with an alert as possible spam, there was no legal disclaimer at the bottom and you could just tell visually that it was not sent from a legit law firm. Then we did some online research into Summers Law. They have no phone number, no presence or reviews on google, and when you look up the address they list on Welbeck Street it does not appear to exist. This Trustpilot is their only online presence apart from their website and most of these positive reviews appear to be fake, all written in the last few months.There does appear to be a class action lawsuit against Zeta which was made public right when all these Trustpilot reviews started appearing at the start of the year. So we believe these scammers got our information via the lawsuit and are using that to obtain contact details for people like us to try scamming them.When Steve called back we told him we are happy to provide a crypto wallet address to transfer the funds but we don’t trust any other methods and will not be giving him any access to our accounts. Then he got even more angry, told us we were wasting his time so we said “Ok well we think you’re a scammer so bye” and hung up.There is no way any legitimate company would be conducting business like this. Plus he called from two different numbers both times (02080899739 and 02038610035) neither of which are registered to Summers Law - which apparently has no phone number whatsoever.SO WATCH OUT FOR THIS COMPANY! THEY APPEAR TO BE ATTEMPTING TO CON PEOPLE INTO GRANTING UNNECESSARY ACCESS TO THEIR CRYPTO WALLETS. DO NOT OPEN ANY ACCOUNTS WITH THEM OR GIVE THEM ACCESS/LOG IN DETAILS TO ANY OF YOUR MONEY, DEVICES OR ACCOUNTS!
