"Rhoda Kennedy" is a scammer targeting family law firms with a standard fake certified check / wire the difference scam. "She" contacts law firms via their website contact forms with this script:

"I wish to file a contempt petition against my ex-spouse for failure to make court ordered payments of Child Support, Spousal Support and Medical support. Please advise if you handle such case.

Yours Truly,
Ms Kennedy"

The next script the Scammer says that she has discussed it with her ex bows and he said he wants settlement and has agreed to pay the legal fees are the balance owed to her. She then says that a certified check will be sent in the amount of $360,000 to the law firm with 10,000 being the lawyers retainer fee and the balance of $350,000 to be sent back to her. No details about the mule or bank account used in the scam.

Thank you for posting. Could you possibly post the email with the script about sending you a check? This would help others that may be searching clips from that script.

PLEASE DO NOT TELL A SCAMMER HE IS REPORTED HERE!
