We have received information indicating that, from approximately mid-June, fraudulent emails have been sent to various businesses/persons using our firm's name and/or our attorneys' names.
For example, one email stated that the email recipient had been found to be using our client's copyrighted contents on the email recipient's website without authorization, demanded that the email recipient delete the unauthorized contents and take steps to prevent future use thereof, and further demanded the email recipient's contact and other information for use in our firm's further investigation of the matter.
Our firm and our attorneys have no connection to these emails. If you have received such an email, please delete it right away, and do not reply to the email or click on any link in the email.
Please note that our firm will never use a gmail or other free email account in connection with our legal services. If the sender's email address does not have "kashiwagi-law.co.jp" after the @ sign, the email is not from our firm.
Thank you for your cooperation.
