LMS was made aware by a number of law firms that they had received suspicious emails that looked very similar to a genuine LMS Charge Registration email.    LMS has subsequently investigated the source of the email which originated from a temporary mailbox outside of LMS, the domain name is exchanges329e7engleharts.live

LMS has reported the matter to the Action Fraud and is advising its customers and partners of the incident.  We have also placed the following message on our Conveyancer Zone web page https://www.lmsuk.com/conveyancerzone
