Earlier I posted a few blogs on the collaborative family law scam (see e.g., “Collaborative Family Law Agreement Fraud Becomes More Convincing,” June 29, 2010.). It appears that this type of fraud has spread beyond North America and reached continental Europe.

I was contacted by a lawyer in Italy who told me in an email that she has recently received several inquiries to recover substantial sums of money from collaborative family law agreements executed in the U.S.

She became suspicious about the timing and the similarity among the inquiries and decided to investigate. She stumbled upon my postings and inquired into the frauds reported in Ontario.

I was able to refer her to LAWPro’s online resources. She is now convinced that the inquiries were bogus and is in the process of reporting the schemes to the local governing body.

Power to the internet!
