Warning: Emails misusing the name and details of Wealth Recovery Solicitors Limited
11 November 2025
Emails have been sent misusing the name and details of Wealth Recovery Solicitors Limited in relation to supposed suspicious transactions and fraudulent activity linked to BitSoft.
What is the scam?
The SRA has been informed that several members of the public have received emails purporting to be from 'Donnie Powell' claiming to be a 'Recovery Agency' from a genuine firm of solicitors (see below). The content of the email is in connection with supposed suspicious transactions and fraudulent activity linked to BitSoft and the recovery of digital assets.
The email was sent from the email address 'donnie.powell1661@gmail.com'.
The email misuses several details of the genuine firm of solicitors, including their head office address, SRA number and company number.
Any business or transactions through the email address 'donnie.powell1661@gmail.com' is not undertaken by a firm or individual authorised and regulated by the SRA.
Is there a genuine firm or person?
The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine firm of solicitors called Wealth Recovery Solicitors Limited, whose SRA number is 8000728. The genuine firm's head office address is Floor 6, 3 Hardman Street, Manchester, M3 3HF and the contact email for the firm is 'info@wealthrecovery.co.uk'.
The genuine firm has confirmed that it has no connection to the email address or email referred to in the above alert.
What should I do?
When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
