Agreed, if it was a legitimate claim from a legitimate attorney you would
not be receiving a notification by email.

We have recently received the following email.  We are investigating its
legitimacy and are interested to know if others may have received such an
email as well.
Thank you.

Subject: Oppenheimer Estate claim of the silver soup tureens made by Johann
Sebastian Würth Vienna 1781 
 
Dear Mrs.Eaton,
May I present myself to you: I am the attorney of law of the heirs of Rosa
and Jakob Oppenheimer, well-known art dealers and gallerists in Berlin who
had to leave Germany in the very beginning of 1933 to escape from being
murdered by Hitler's SA men, as well as the liquidator of the five companies
they inherited the shares of by a bequest of Albert Loeske, one of the
richest man in Berlin at this time because they worked for him in a very
profitable way, such as the van Diemen & Co. Cie.  
These fine people did not overlive persecution. They fled to France. They
hid in Nizza. Rosa who wanted to go out sometimes, was arrested and deported
to Auschwitz where she got killed. Her husband did of sorrow in Nizza. They
had three children Nelly divorced Bloch, Hildegard married STEIN and Hans
who overlived, who overlived, got maried and had children for whom I am
working.  
I hereby claim In my quality as attorney of law and liquidator of the art
galeries one of which is the van Diemen & Co. company, and in the the name
of all the heirs of Rosa and Jakob the above mentioned silver soup tureens
which Rosa and Jakob were deprived of in duress at the Graupe auction, a
so-called "Judenauktion" No. 142 on April 26/27th, 1935 Nos.336 and 337,
plate 71, at slender prices.
I settled many files for my clients with American museums and institutes
such as SMITHONIAN Institut, Mueum of San DIEGO,the State of California etc.
The settlement with Smithonian is published so that you can consult it.
My clients are open to your suggestions, either you give the silver tureens
back to them and of course they had to sell them since none of the heirs is
rich enough to pay the part of the others heirs, or you pay them the amount
these works of art are worth, what means that the tureens have to be
evaluated by a neutral expert.
Finally I draw your intention to the fact that some of my clients cannot
live anymore alone and are in very expensive institutions for desabled
persons. So please let us settle the present matter at your earliest
convenience. 
As you know, we have a Holyday in France (Pentecôte) and nobody else is
working in my office as me. I will forward a claim to you "en bonne et due
forme" in a few days.
Looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible, With best regards
