I'm sure most people here would recognise this as fishy but I'm sharing anyway. Warn your more trusting friends and family!

Can you share links to those articles? I'm finding a lot of dead ends.

Ok, have a look here.

It's an archive of a newspaper from July 11, 2019 (The Renfrew Mercury), and you can see the same ad listed there! These guys have been playing the long game for a while.

And if you visit their website, it totally looks like something you'd expect from a scam, and not a professional organization handling disability benefits.

I see other similar ads posted in other newspapers (i.e Waterloo Chronicle, Wasaga Beach Sun, etc.)! You have to pretty much look up archives at this point.
