A phishing email has been sent from Learn Formula informing practising solicitors to complete a supposed mandatory risk management course.

What is the scam?

A phishing email has been sent from Learn Formula claiming all practising solicitors have a non-negotiable requirement to complete at least 1 hour of training specifically dedicated to risk management before October 31st.

The email goes on to list recommended risk management courses and provides links to book onto those courses, as well as fees.

The links provided lead to the following website: https://learnformula.com/

The email is sent from the following email address: promotion@law-cpd-uk.learnformula.com

Any business or transaction through the details identified above is not undertaken by an individual or firm of solicitors authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA does not authorise or regulate an organisation called Learn Formula.

The genuine CPD Certification Service have confirmed they have no connection to the email referred to above.

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.
