Hi Roland I know for sure that the address of this 'law firm' is located near Lisbon's (very large) prison, in Rua Marquesa de Fronteira. We were visiting relatives in a nearby apartment, arriving from Goa for 8 months, we stayed in this street / rua in 1958 (me aged 8 years, with my mother, my brother aged 4 years) and my father, Casimiro Monteiro (nuf said about him). I doubt this email is a scam, but dont take my word for it, its probably a notary / solicitors / law firm seeking extra work. A cheap way of advertising & getting the business they are in, to all Goans, they must have bought addresses from specialist firms who collect them and sell them onto interested parties. If anyone is interested, I would recommend everyone ask them questions about their validity & get it confirmed by the Law Society (or similar, in Portugual) before embarking on anything where money might exchange hands, or may be compulsory, or you enter into anything legally binding. At least if there are some Goans reading this who might be eligible, this may be an opportunity for them to take up this offer, sounds like they know their stuff anyway. My brother was born in Goa 1st November 1954, he does not have a birth certificate (never had, we wondered if he was actually registered at all (?), I wonder if he can apply for a search for a birth certificate? Anyone help my brother with this? His name was Fernando (renamed David by mother when we arrived back in the UK in Dec 1961) Roso Monteiro............

I have never expressed an interest in applying for Portuguese nationality either on this forum or in private. Is this an unsolicited communication from a genuine Portuguese law firm or just another internet scam.
