Warning: Identity documents and a WhatsApp message sent misusing the name and SRA number of Majid Mohammed and claiming to be from 'Al‑Majid Law Office'

24 February 2026

Identity documents and a WhatsApp message have been sent misusing the name and SRA number of Majid Mohammed and claiming to be from 'Al‑Majid Law Office'.

What is the scam?

A member of the public has received a WhatsApp message and fraudulent identity documents falsely claiming to be from a genuine solicitor (see below). The WhatsApp message falsely claims that the genuine solicitor works at a law firm called 'Al‑Majid Law Office'.

The WhatsApp message was sent in Arabic from the telephone number +447452341093 and provides the email address aj.lawyer@almajidlaw.com. It also includes images of a UK passport and a Law Society membership card, both which are believed to be fraudulent. The Law Society membership card features the SRA number for the genuine solicitor.

The sender claims that the firm 'Al Majid Law Office' can assist with cases involving scams and fraud committed by investment and trading companies.

The SRA does not authorise or regulate a firm of solicitors called 'Al-Majid Law Office'.

Any business or transaction through the details listed above 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 solicitor called Majid Mohammed (SRA number 526256).

Majid Mohammed has confirmed that they do not have any connection to the details 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.
