Meyer Wilson Werning is alerting cryptocurrency investors to a sophisticated WhatsApp impersonation scam that has been preying on victims of digital asset theft. The scheme uses the firm’s name, attorney identities, and official branding to deceive individuals who are seeking legitimate recovery help.
How the Scam Works
Scammers have been posing as attorneys from Meyer Wilson Werning, promising to recover lost or stolen cryptocurrency funds. They often copy language from the firm’s website—highlighting its real record of over $350 million in client recoveries—to appear credible. Once contact is established, the fraudsters request an upfront payment, claiming it is a “filing” or “case” fee to begin recovery efforts.
Common tactics reported include:
- Unsolicited WhatsApp messages from numbers such as +1 (423) 579-7404 and others.
- Requests for “minimum fees” to file a case or start legal action.
- References to legitimate Meyer Wilson Werning materials or attorneys’ names to build false trust.
These scammers are exploiting the trust our firm has built over decades of advocacy for investors. As Partner Courtney Werning explained in the public alert, this type of fraud “weaponizes our own voice against the very people we protect.”

How Scammers Use Real Law Firms’ Names
Scammers often choose well-known firms to impersonate because it instantly gives them credibility. By copying attorney profiles, bios, and real case results, they can create convincing stories that seem legitimate at first glance. These impersonations often circulate on encrypted platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram, where messages are harder to trace.
Look for red flags like:
- Unverified contact numbers or personal Gmail accounts.
- Requests for secrecy or urgency in communications.
