A stranger requested access to your mail

Request:

Access to an email account by a third party

Challenge:

We had a call the other day from a relative of someone who is terminally ill. They were requesting access to their family member’s business email.

Straightforward?

No.

We protect our clients’ information!

Solution:

I made the request to the person for a Power of Attorney. The document then was verified by our solicitor.

Result:

I was able to change the password and give access to the relative.

Lesson:

Always question security. Not everything is as it seems, there are fake documents and scammers everywhere.
