Beware of Scammers: Protecting Yourself and Your Information
In today’s world, scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their methods to deceive and defraud unsuspecting individuals. While it’s challenging to prevent every scam attempt, we are committed to doing everything in our power to keep both ourselves and our valued clients safe from these malicious activities.
How Scammers Operate
Scammers might contact you, falsely claiming to represent trusted businesses, including ours. They may use various tactics to gain your trust and extract sensitive information or money under false pretenses. It’s crucial to be vigilant and recognize the signs of potential scam attempts to protect yourself.
Our Commitment to Client Safety
At Sadri Law, the security and privacy of our clients are of utmost importance. We want to reassure you that:
– We Never Ask for Sensitive Financial Information Over the Phone: We do not request your credit card numbers, bank account information, or other sensitive financial details during phone calls. If you receive such a request from someone claiming to represent our firm, it is a scam.
– Secure Payment Process: All client payments are processed through LawPay, a secure payment platform specifically designed for law firms. This ensures that your payment information is handled with the highest security standards.
– Communication Best Practices: Best Practices for Communication: We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and adherence to established protocols in all our communications with you. Should you ever receive a call or message that seems dubious and claims to originate from us, we encourage you to immediately verify its authenticity by reaching out to us via our official contact methods. Our legitimate communications with clients are conducted exclusively through emails that conclude with “@sadri-law.com”, through our client portal for texts, and via calls from the number 408-416-3000. It’s important to note that we would never contact you from a different phone number to request your confidential or payment information. Be aware that calls from numbers such as 408-320-5342 are NOT associated with our firm and should be considered fraudulent.
How to Protect Yourself
– Verify the Caller: If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from our firm or any other trusted business, ask for their name and call back through the official contact number listed on the business’s website.
– Do Not Share Personal Information: Never share your credit card information, bank details, or sensitive personal information over the phone unless you are absolutely sure of the caller’s identity and the security of the transaction.
– Use Secure Payment Methods: Always use secure, official payment links for transactions. Avoid making payments over the phone unless you initiated the call to a verified number.
Reporting Suspicious Activity
If you encounter or suspect a scam attempt, we urge you to report it to the appropriate authorities and to us. This not only helps protect you but also assists in preventing these scammers from exploiting others.
Together, we can work towards a safer environment for everyone. Your vigilance and our commitment to security are vital in combating these fraudulent schemes. If you have any concerns or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
