Hawaii attorneys targeted in scam
Hawaii attorneys are being targeted in a scam in which a check is sent to an attorney from a “client” and the attorney is supposed to deduct a retainer and wire back the difference.
In one such scam received by Chapter 7 trustee David Farmer, the amount was for $165,800 from Shanghai Simyi Auto Parts Industry Co. in China.
“I’m trying to get the word out to as many people as possible,” Farmer said. “Bad stuff.”
