Description

My friend wanted me to talk to their lawyer because he wanted me to become a trustee for his taxes. Someone who's not his lawyer ended up reaching out to me. He claimed his name was Dean Watts, that he worked with the Jackson Walker LLP firm, and it would only take about 15-20 mins. (He did not give me his name or company right off the bat, i had to ask questions to get the info out of him.) I knew my friend was from Texas, and in looking up the area code that reached out to me i learned it was from New York. That was my first red flag. After i got his name and firm i did more research. Dean owns his own private practice and is a criminal lawyer (nothing to do with taxes), and has nothing to do with Jackson Walker LLP. So i reached back out to him and told him he was getting no information from me and explained the research i found. He never contacted me again.
