Nutshell version: a group of criminals who appear to be in Mexico have created an entire fake law firm and deal flow in the U.S., with Photoshopped notary seals and wire instructions. They reportedly use ExpressVPN-- the owner of the IP block used by the suspects states that it leased the IP block to ExpressVPN under a Letter of Authorization.
The suspects make money by causing victims to wire advance fees to Mexico as part of selling their timeshares, and possibly other transactions. My client has lost $70k or so thus far.
At $70K losses I'd recommend getting law enforcement involved rather than trying to solve this DIY. There are likely other victims. -- Jay Hennigan - jay@west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
