Warning: Correspondence misusing the name of Malik Saeed
9 October 2025
Correspondence misusing the name of Malik Saeed in relation to the recovery of high value funds.
What is the scam?
A member of the public was in contact with an individual falsely purporting to be 'Malik Saeed' of 'My Lawyer UK Limited' and 'My Lawyer LLP'.
'Malik Saeed' claimed to help the individual recover lost funds/profits and asked for payments to be made which were supposedly 'court-ordered compensations'.
'Malik Saeed' also asked for payment which was required to obtain a 'financial license' and promised that once the license was issued, the profits would be transferred to the individual's account.
As seen by the SRA, the correspondence in letter form was stamped 'Malik Saeed, SRA 0230056. International Lawyer' and a logo of 'My Lawyer' is also seen on some of the letters.
Communication also took place over the number of +44 7704 962476 which was initially used, as well as continued communication on +447514141985.
Is there a genuine firm or person?
The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine solicitor called Malik Saeed. He works for MTG Solicitors and his SRA number is 230056.
The SRA authorised a genuine firm of solicitors called MyLawyer Solicitors LLP which ceased trading on 31 January 2019 as it became EPOQ Legal Ltd (SRA number 645296).
The genuine Malik Saeed has confirmed he does not have any connection to the correspondence and telephone numbers 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.
