I have received a fake legal notice, with unreachable phone number and unidentified address and fake lawyer enrollment number. The notice has caused my family severe stress. I know the person who might have done this illegal act. What should I do?

If you know it’s a fake, there’s really no need to stress out about it.

This is a common scam making the rounds right now. I’ve received several such phony legal notices, and wrote about them here:

The address of the fake law firm leads here, according to Google Street View:

There’s actually a person out there offering this as a service: you can give him (or her, I have not been able to find them) money and they’ll send out fake “legal notices” from a fictitious “law firm” that doesn’t exist, with a phony website using AI generated faces for the “law firm”’s lawyers and a Photoshopped picture of a 3D rendering of a university administration building as a picture of the law firm’s headquarters.

Report them to your local police and your local Bar Association, if you’re in the US.

I’ve reported it to law enforcement, but perhaps as expected nothing came of it.

I keep hitting my front tooth with my glass while bringing it to my mouth unintentionally and the nerve in the tooth keeps pulsating. Does hitting the tooth like this cause damage enough that I could lose the tooth?
