More details to this question:
I loaned a large sum of money to friends who were in very deep trouble and now they are avoiding my calls and emails! The money was sent by bank transfer to their account from UK to New York. What can l do now? I don't know any law firms in NY as l live in London UK ??

I have to admit that your inquiry sounds like a typical scam email that circulates amongst collection lawyers. "Large sum of money" and overseas wire transfers are dead giveaways. Besides, who doesn't know ANY lawyers in NY? Not only that, the intake information shows that you are in fact from NY. All lawyers should be wary of these scams and be forewarned not to release any funds from your escrow account, even if the check being deposited looks like a legitimate Bank Cashier's Check. It is a phoney!
