🚨 FRAUD ALERT: BE VIGILANT AGAINST IMPERSONATION SCAMS 🚨
Dear UPAN Family,
We have recently become aware of fraudulent activities involving an individual named Patrick Michael Sullivan, a 38-year-old parolee with a history of identity fraud, theft, and forgery. Sullivan has been charged with impersonating a retired attorney and unlawfully representing inmates at the Utah State Prison. 
Sullivan joined our UPAN Family Support Group and UPAN Volunteers/Committees Working Group under false pretenses. While a search of his posts did not reveal explicit impersonation of an attorney, it’s possible that such posts could have been deleted. We are concerned about the extent of his infiltration and the potential impact on our members.
Notably, the Pace Johnson Law Group was affected by Sullivan’s actions. They have issued a statement clarifying that Sullivan was never an attorney, partner, or employee of their firm, and they are fully cooperating with law enforcement.
What You Should Do:
• Stay Alert: Be cautious of individuals offering legal assistance unsolicited, especially if they claim to be attorneys or paralegals without proper verification.
• Verify Credentials: Always confirm the credentials of anyone offering legal services. The Utah State Bar’s online directory is a reliable resource for verifying an attorney’s active status and licensure.
• Report Suspicious Activity: If you have been contacted by Patrick Michael Sullivan or anyone else impersonating legal professionals, please report the incident to your local law enforcement agency immediately.
• Notify UPAN: Inform UPAN moderators of any suspicious behavior by messaging us directly or emailing [email protected].
Our Commitment to You:
UPAN takes the protection of our community members’ identities and information very seriously. We have implemented stringent precautions to safeguard your privacy and ensure a safe environment for support and advocacy.
Your vigilance and cooperation are crucial in maintaining the integrity and safety of our community. Together, we can prevent fraudulent activities and support one another through these challenges.
Stay safe and informed.
Sincerely,
The UPAN Team
