I m trying to complete a wire transfer from SCOTLAND but I don't have any experience in that kind of
things so I like to get some attorney to represent me an complete the transaction for me. the question is
what kind of lawyer do I have to look for.

HUH ?

I wire money to relatives in England.
I just need their bank routing number and bank acct number, and the names of the involved banks & acct holder name.

What is the source of the money being wired to you ?

Can't they contact their bank in Scotland and, with your bank info, wire the money directly into your acct ?

This isn't the "You have been named as an heir to a deceased UK citizen [that you have never heard of before] and we need your bank account number to wire you the funds" scam, is it?

I agree what's the big deal? Now there may be questions by the Feds if there is a very large sum of money involved, Homeland Security you know.

Not really, but one can always hope for an interesting story, such as this one on a tax board.

I have a client who claims her Fiance' who lives in the
United Kingdom, has recently inherited $15 million from a
relative and wants to have it transfered to U.S. in her name
to avoid taxes and complications in United Kingdom. Yes, I
am skeptical too as she has previously given him $75,000.00
in cash as a loan. According to her, she witnessed the
signing over of the inheritance to her at the lawyers office
in London.

And, in a follow-up:

Follow up on my original post: Thanks to all who answered
and valuable suggestions- based on the imput I have done
further investigation-It appears this is indeed a Nigerian
419 scam. Paperwork is all from Logos Nigeria. This poor
girl is probably out $75,000.00. I have not told her yet.
She mentioned her so called fiance comes to the US to
visit-possibly she can get secret service involved on her
next "DATE".
