Fraud alert – Manchester office calls

Calls appearing to come from our Manchester office phone number

We have recently been made aware of a number of people receiving calls purporting to come from Clarke Willmott, specifically showing as coming from our Manchester office phone number (0161 638 3000) wishing to discuss road traffic accidents.

If you are one of the individuals affected, we can assure you that it was not Clarke Willmott, nor any representative of this firm, that called you. It appears to be a scam where someone is trying to appear as a reputable firm and mask their real identity.

Clarke Willmott offers specialist legal advice to businesses and individuals alike. Our expertise in personal injury and medical negligence focuses on highly complex cases overseen by senior solicitors who support individuals far beyond their claim. Our approach is not, and never will be, to cold call people to discuss a claim.

Nuisance calls and phone number spoofing is a common problem. Ofcom has issued some guidance on their website to help you understand what call spoofing is and how you can report it if you believe you are a victim.

We are investigating and will be reporting the matter to our Regulator, the SRA and Action Fraud. If you have any information that may help in our investigation please do contact us via getintouch@clarkewillmott.com.
