On February 7 2019 BBB checked the website agslawoffice.com to determine when it was created and where it was registered. The website was created on January 30 2019, but the registrant information was not disclosed. It appears the address provided on the website, 1133 Yonge St Toronto, ON M4T 2Y7, is a commercial property currently under development. The list of tenants provided online does not include AGS Law or Akin Gump & Strauss LLP.
An online search found that there is a legal office with a similar name, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, which is headquartered in Washington D.C, and operates in the US and Europe. These companies are not affiliated.
BBB obtained a copy of the inheritance offer which includes several grammatical and spelling errors, along with formatting issues with their letterhead. The letter also included several additional email addresses.
Based on the information detailed above, BBB cannot confirm the legitimacy of AGS Law Office (o/a Akin Gump Strauss LLP) and suggests consumers exercise extreme caution when responding to unsolicited mail regarding lottery, sweepstakes, inheritance, and foreign money offers.
BBB Tips:
- Beware of persons looking for a trustee or heir. Legitimate estates do not solicit in this manner.
- Beware of tragic deaths and persons looking for help moving a large sum of money.
- Discard any mailing offering a percentage of a fortune for doing little else than providing banking details.
If you believe you have been a victim of an inheritance or foreign money scam, you may wish to file a complaint with BBB, the Canadian Anti- Fraud Centre, and BBB Scam Tracker.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
