Warning: Website and document misusing the name and SRA number of Ann Silla

30 July 2026

A profile has been set up on the website 'www.fiverr.com' purporting to offer legal services and a document has been sent misusing the name and SRA number of a genuine solicitor.

What is the scam?

The SRA has been informed that the identity of a genuine solicitor (see below) is being misused on the freelance services marketplace website 'www.fiverr.com'

An individual is operating a seller profile on Fiverr (fiverr.com/angelapor) under the name "Ann", describing themselves as a "Certified UK Solicitor," and offering to draft legal letters including defamation/libel claim letters, GDPR complaints, and debt dispute letters for payment. The profile misuses the name of a genuine solicitor (see details below).

In addition to the profile on the website, the SRA has also been notified that a document has been sent to a third party falsely claiming to be from the genuine solicitor. The document, a 'Letter Before Claim' purports to relate to a claim for - defamation, harassment and data protection. This document misuses the genuine solicitor's name and SRA number. It also misuses the letterhead of the genuine solicitor's former employer.

Any business or transaction through the profile of 'Ann Silla' and or 'angelapor' on the website Fiverr.com is not undertaken by a genuine individual authorised and regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine solicitor by the name of Ann Nyanda Silla (SRA number 390560).

Ann Nyanda Silla has confirmed that she has no connection to either the profile listed on 'www.fiverr.com' or the document referred to above.

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.
