How to Verify Contact with Law Firm Skarbiec

Protecting Our Clients

Kancelaria Prawna Skarbiec is a team of licensed legal counsels (radcowie prawni) and tax advisors with over twenty years of experience in tax law, corporate structures, and cross-border advisory. We serve individual and corporate clients from over a dozen countries. We publish more than one hundred expert articles per year. We hold top positions in the tax law firm rankings of Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, Poland’s leading legal daily.

A brand that takes two decades to build inevitably becomes a target for those who cannot build one themselves. The recognition and trust that Kancelaria Skarbiec commands in the tax advisory market have led criminals to attempt to use our name to lend credibility to their own operations. Below, we explain how clients and prospective clients can securely verify that they are communicating with our team — and how to recognize unauthorized use of our brand.

 

Why we publish this information

We treat the security of client communications with the same rigor as the confidentiality of the matters we handle. As a firm specializing in tax disputes and crisis advisory for entrepreneurs, we understand that trust is a currency that is hard to earn and easy to lose.

We have received reports from clients and third parties that unknown individuals are initiating contact while invoking the Kancelaria Skarbiec name. This practice — known in security literature as an impersonation scam or recovery scam — has no connection to our firm’s operations. It is, however — paradoxically — indirect evidence of a brand whose reputation someone considers worth stealing.

 

Official contact channels

Kancelaria Prawna Skarbiec — a team of legal counsels and tax advisors led by Robert Nogacki (licensed legal counsel, WA-9026) — communicates with clients exclusively through the following channels:

Website: kancelaria-skarbiec.pl
Email: addresses in the @kancelaria-skarbiec.pl domain
Phone: numbers listed on kancelaria-skarbiec.pl
Office: ul. Maciejki 13, 02-181 Warsaw, Poland

We do not communicate with clients via WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS. We do not acquire clients through social media. We do not contact individuals who are not our clients with proposals to recover funds lost in investments. We never have and never will.

 

How to recognize unauthorized use of our brand

Based on the reports we systematically document, the most common patterns are as follows:

Unsolicited contact. You receive a message via WhatsApp, SMS, or phone from someone claiming to represent the firm, even though you have never been our client or contacted us. Kancelaria Skarbiec has been building client relationships for over twenty years — but always at the client’s invitation, never the other way around.

Promise to recover lost funds. The caller claims they can help recover money lost in investments or on cryptocurrency exchanges. This is the classic pattern of a recovery scam — a secondary fraud targeting individuals who have already suffered financial losses.

Time pressure. Insistence on immediate action, suggestions that “funds will be redirected” or “the deadline is expiring.” Genuine legal advice requires time for analysis — a firm that pressures you into a quick decision is not acting in your interest.

Upfront payment to a private account. Kancelaria Skarbiec issues VAT invoices from a corporate bank account. A request to transfer funds to a personal or foreign account should be an immediate red flag.

Unverifiable identity. Robert Nogacki is a licensed legal counsel registered with the Warsaw Bar under number WA-9026 — this registration is publicly verifiable. Every member of our team can be identified through official channels. A refusal to provide verifiable credentials means the person you are speaking with is not one of us.

 

What is a recovery scam

A recovery scam is a scheme in which criminals target individuals who have previously lost money through other frauds — investment fraud, cryptocurrency fraud, trading platform fraud. They impersonate law firms, debt recovery companies, or “fund recovery specialists” in order to extract further payments or personal data.

This type of fraud is particularly insidious because it exploits trust in legal institutions and the desperation of people seeking help. As a firm that has advised clients on crypto-asset matters and investment fraud cases for years — and that has represented victims in the WGI case, one of Poland’s largest financial scandals, since 2006 — we understand how deep the wounds of lost savings run and how easily those who have been harmed once become targets again.

What to do if in doubt

Contact us directly. Call the number listed on kancelaria-skarbiec.pl or write to an email address in the @kancelaria-skarbiec.pl domain. We will confirm or deny whether the person in question is a member of our team. We do this quickly — because we know that in situations like these, time matters.

Do not share personal data with anyone whose identity you have not verified through official channels.

Do not transfer any funds based on contact that you did not initiate yourself.

Report the attempt. If you have received a suspicious contact, you can report it directly to us — we will help document the incident and, where warranted, report it to the relevant law enforcement authorities. Documentation of such cases strengthens the legal position of all those affected.
