WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) -- The Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office is warning about a scam letter involving a life insurance policy. A Wichita resident received a letter in the mail claiming to be from a law firm. The letter claimed they could get money from an insurance policy from a deceased person who shares their last name. The letter claims they could add the potential victim's name to the policy and then split the funds. The letter then urges the recipient to email them at a Gmail account.

The sender is only after your money or personal information. Scams like these can seem legitimate at first. In this case, the scammer has gone to the trouble of creating a fake website for their phony law firm. However, if you visit that website and look closely, you will discover that the images it uses are all stock photos, including the section giving "client testimonials." Another dead giveaway of a scam is if the email address doesn't have its domain name at the end and instead uses a free service like Gmail. A Whois inquiry for the domain name of the fake law firm's website shows that it was registered anonymously through a company called Privacy Protect in Burlington, Massachusetts. Privacy Protect has been notified of a scam associated with the website through its online reporting system. The district attorney's office says if you get one of these letters: Don’t respond. Never share your information with someone who contacts youand says they need it. And never send anyone cash or pay with gift cards, wiretransfers, or cryptocurrency. Share this information with a friend. You probably throw away these kinds ofletters. But you may know someone who could use a friendly reminder to helpthem spot the scam.
