Warning: Documents sent claiming to be from an authorised and regulated company called Atlas Group

2 July 2025

Documents have been sent claiming to be from 'Atlas Group', regarding supposed recovery of funds via Power of Attorney.

What is the scam?

The SRA has been informed that documents have been sent to a member of the public claiming to be from 'Atlas Group', in relation to a supposed recovery of lost monies. The company is claiming to be an SRA registered company and that the documents are signed by an SRA registered Solicitor.

The SRA understands that 'Atlas Group' has been purporting to act for an individual attempting to recover lost funds. We understand that a Power of Attorney was put in place between a member of the public and an individual purporting to be an SRA regulated individual by the name of Yasmin Noor Ibrahim.

The SRA has seen documents from the Atlas Group that provides an address in Belgium Av. des Arts 39, 1040 Bruxelles, Belgique and the telephone numbers of '+32049752 2865' and '+32460247219'.

The documents also falsely claim that the firm is authorised and regulated by the SRA, and it misuses the SRA ID number 8003367 which belongs to a genuine non-SRA regulated company The company has confirmed it is not affiliated with either Atlas Group or Yasmin Noor Ibrahim.

The SRA does not authorise a genuine firm of solicitors called 'Atlas Group' nor does it authorise or regulate an individual called Yasmin Noor Ibrahim.

Any business or transaction through the telephone number '+320497522865' and '+32460247219' and the email addresses 'support@atlasglobus.com' is not undertaken by a solicitor or firm of solicitors authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA does not authorise and regulate the Atlas Group or Yasmin Noor Ibrahim.

What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
