Warning: Telephone call and email misusing the name of Kevin Morgan purporting to be from 'CFA Solicitors'

12 February 2026

An email and telephone calls have been sent and/or made from 'CFA Solicitors', purporting to be from a genuine law firm and misusing the name of a genuine solicitor in relation to recovering frozen and/or inactive cryptocurrency funds.

What is the scam?

The SRA understands that an email has been sent and telephone calls have been made to a member of the public by an individual purporting to be a genuine solicitor (see genuine details below) and offering services relating to the purported recovery of cryptocurrency funds.

The email was sent from the email address 'kevin.morgan@cfasolicitors.com' and the sender was Kevin Morgan, who is claiming to be a solicitor at CFA Solicitors. The recipient was encouraged to complete an identity verification process and arrange a follow-up call to discuss the process.

The calls were made from the following telephone numbers: '+44 7496 069763' and '+44 7733 733160'.

The SRA does not authorise and regulate a firm called 'CFA Solicitors'.

Any business or transaction through the email address or contact numbers referred to above are not undertaken by an individual or firm regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA also authorises and regulates several individuals called Kevin Morgan, whom have either confirmed and/or whom are believed to not be connected with the email, telephone numbers and/or calls 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.
