JOHOR BARU: A legal firm has issued an urgent public warning after scammers impersonated one of its lawyers, forged signatures, and misused the firm's name, logo, and materials in a fraudulent attempt to deceive the public.

Tay Chambers' partner Cassandra Quek said they became aware of the issue on May 5 after the firm received inquiries regarding a lawyer from their firm and documents allegedly issued by them, which were found to be entirely falsified.
